One detail maybe worth mentioning. Sebald wrote The Emigrants in German. But he also contributed to the English translation. Sebald left Germany and moved to England in 1966 when he was 22. By the time The Emigrants was translated to Englis

This article (first published in The New Republic) is really great. It contains a lot of detail about Sebald's life and all the things that are often said about him. These kind of articles are supposed to create an appetite for the aut

Let's call it super audio-only. When you talk to someone on WebCall, their voice will be clearer and more present than it is in most real-life situations. This alone is worth everything. But there are many other aspects. Whenever you c

I am really sorry for this. Maybe you have a second ISP from which you could try? On my end all systems are bright green.

This sounds like our DDoS protection. I have just relaxed the criteria. Hope it is better now.

I am doing some calls in parallel. For me it seems to be working. Can you describe what happened in your case? Edit:typos

I am the WebCall developer. I can see a number of people are using the service right now. However, I can not see what is happening on the P2P links. If you run into issues, please let me know. Same if you think there is anything missing.

I made a lot of phone calls tonight. Two quick observations: 1) Many people think I'm a bot. And they want to test me with smart questions in order to find out if I'm a bot. How do you prove that you are not a bot? 2) It seems tha

I think the 500 limit is a max bitrate setting, independent of any specific codec. If you deliver audio+video you will need to consider exactly how much of the bandwidth you use for audio. But when doing audio only, simply using the highest

Your phone number is not getting leaked by an WebRTC app. Definitely not. Your IP address might, in case a true P2P connection is established.

I configured the max possible bitrate in the spec. I wanted to find out what is being used in the end. And how it sounds. Most people are calling without a microphone. Please use a headset.

No 3rd party services involved at all. All server components are running on a single server of mine. Sorry, no source code released yet.

I am the developer of this web-app and you can use the link (say, for the next hour or so) to give me a direct voice call. I am interested in finding out about audio quality in the real world. Thanks

Just in case a Go team member walks by. I love Go. But I need to be able to reload my plugins. Same Go-version, same environment is fine. Additional code-specific requirements would also be fine. But please make it possible.

For video playback, CSS3 transitions/animations, gaming etc., how much better is the GPU in the Jetson Nano compared to the one in the RPi4? Just to get an idea.

What exactly does it mean to say that plugins "can then be swapped out"? I assume a binary Go plugin can not in fact be unloaded from memory. So modifying and reloading a Go plugin will result in multiple versions of it to then st
