Why does Jitsi Meet totally peak out my CPU, even with the camera turned off, and nobody else in the room with me? They must be running some bloated ass Javascript
I also notice that it take a few minute before my CPU (dual core 1.6Ghz) goes back to normal after I close the #JitsiMeet tab. Hmmmm ...
@strypey hey I've been wanting to test Jitsi. I often use ZOOM. It's proprietary but has great a feature set. I'd 100% prefer to drive eyes to something like Jitsi. Your experience sounds like I might need to use some caution.
@david_ross be aware that my computer was new when the Ark was being built ...

@david_ross , but I tried logging in with #OpenBox, instead of #GNOME #Fallback, OB uses a bunch less CPU while idlng, and Jitsi Meet still pushed the CPU to 99% without doing anything but idlng with no cam. I also tried the #FramaSoft instance (#FramaTalk) and it was just the same
@david_ross I'm excited about testing #NextCloudTalk, the new #WebRTC app for the NC platform. I believe it's a rewrite of #Spreed, so I'm hoping that means it's a bit more resource efficient than #JitsiMeet
@strypey I brought this up on a Mozilla vols call today. Thanks for the update!
@david_ross @strypey Please kill #WebRTC with fire until it is a crispy charred hunk of Zuul meat.
Thanks.
@Shufei @david_ross I don't know, #WebRTC is pretty useful. #WebTorrent is built on it, for example
@david_ross which #WebRTC tool did you use?
@strypey appear.in - it's the goto when nothing else works. User numbers are pretty limited though it's great for 1:1.
@david_ross #Appear.in also peaks out my CPU while idling, with cam off. Maybe it's just that #WebRTC needs a newer/ more powerful PC than I have?
@strypey it's only a PoC atm but give Mozilla Hubs a try. Makes meetings pretty stupid with robots and ducks to throw at each other. Another vol has used that a bit as it was only thing that worked. https://hubs.mozilla.com/
@david_ross cool concept, but do you think #WebVR will be less demanding on my CPU than WebRTC?
@david_ross at some point, I will need a new PC, but I struggle to justify both the $ and resource costs when this one still works fine, and does 99% of what I need
@strypey I'm a reconditioned kinda person myself so can 100% relate.
@david_ross also, the stubborn #EcoWarrior part of my psyche believes that if Skype worked on WindowsXP, any #VoIP app that won't work on this PC is bloated and needs serious pruning. Not wanting to have to constantly upgrade to run bloated software is a major reason why I moved from #Windows to #GNU-Linux
@david_ross once I get upgrade to #Trisquel 8, I am going to start moving more of my net action into client-side apps, which might help
@david_ross the #NextCloudTalk announcement mentioned they intend to build in bridges to #XMPP (and maybe #Matrix) in future releases, so maybe being able to join #WebRTC chats from a desktop client is on the horizon
@strypey @david_ross о, а вот это хорошо. Потому что сейчас NCT это что-то очень камерное, только для пользователей NextCloud
@strypey now you've shared the specs I'm pretty certain it WON'T work for you
