Exactly, also it allows the team to disconnect the evening when they are finished working. Side note, if you want to self-host, discord won't be an option.

Hey there everyone, Since Luke mentioned that on the last Wan Show, I looked up and didn't saw any threads about that topic around, so I'm trying my luck. In short : Now that teams isn't part of Office 365 anymore, what are the alternatives that could be considered as a messaging / chat app ? So I'll say what we did in our company : - We are using RocketChat, self hosted with a BBB (Big Blue Button) integration, also self hosted (we run our own datacenter, ASN, VM cluster). We pay a yearly license fee for support and updates. We use that for about 20 users, so smaller scale than what LMG could be. - From the chat (that supports markdown), we can have multiple channels with same or different members for different topics, and can spawn a video / audio chat from that channel or private chat. - The chat doesn't needs an APP for the PC, you can run everything in a browser, however some packaged clients exist, notably for Android and iPhone. - Our users run Mac, Linux, Windows clients. - The BBB part support whiteboard and screen sharing, as well as PDF and Powerpoint uploads. We also integrated our VoIP plateform to support incoming calls in any chatrooms. We don't pay any fee for the BBB part, beside the server hosting. - We integrated RocketChat in our SSO. (also self hosted). And from what I know, they also have hosted services, if preferred, but I love having the control on my infra One of the community we support run a Mattermost, which also works decently well, but I don't see a video / visio chat integrated. Hope it can be of a use to someone, maybe Luke will stumble on this too Cheers, Edit : to complete this, I have to mention what we've tried / dropped / skipped: - Wire (initially phone app) : Some VC investments did not convince us at some point. So we moved away. - Threema (initially phone app) : I would have loved it, (Swiss owned, German and Swiss based, if I'm not mistaken) but the web / desktop app didn't convinced us at the time being - Telegram : we use it for monitoring notifications, but nothing critical or private there - IRC : well I'm from that era, I still have clients on 3 different networks atm, but it's not convenient for less tech-savy / old users. - Signal : Also the desktop app isn't that flexible.

Damn, I must be really old school on that, I will gather some info of my buddies. I must have missed some of the changes in the last decades. True that the mouses have became sharper and the sensitivity on click must be tune-able.

Hey there ! So I just stumbled on that LTT video (search: Does 240Hz Matter for Gaming ft. Gav from Slow Mo Guys) and I noticed something that I thought was gone for ages in the world of the " knowledgeable " players. In that video, Edzel, Gavin and Linus look like they are shooting with the mouse (left ?) click. So first, I would love to have confirmation that I'm not mistaken, but at least there are some shots where Gavin and Linus are using only their right hand to aim AND shoot. I think some of the old CS (1.6) and Quake 3 high end player of the beginning of the century (yeah that's close to 20 years ago) in Geneva (and probably somewhere else) were shooting with the keyboard to avoid any aiming alteration effects during the mouse click. I remember that this move change my life totally when I started being used to it. Railgun in rocket arena was way easier, and rocket jumps were also more precise. What are your thoughts ? PS : I would take any challenges on that, because I don't have anything capable of (decent-current) gaming anymore (doom or Q3 who be ok-ish) and I don't even have a non-movable computer anymore (not counting servers).

Hey there ! So long time lurker of the LTT youtube chan', and I had to make a comment on that 240hz + Slomo guys shooting experiment. And as I'm not going to register anything on Youtube (yeah privacy/not trusting google/blah, we can debate somewhere), I thought it would be the good location to do my comments. Heading to the gaming section for that ;) Ho and I'm network engineer, and I also gasped at some of the stuff related to BGP and Peering. So now I'll comment even more. And short bio : former regular gamer, biggest lan of Geneva (Switzerland) organizer, FOE,Tetris (NES/TGM), Doom (Legacy) player, Dj, Writer (in French), doing his part in the DFZ world. Most likely old-ish, and runs FreeBSD and Mutt as daily driver. Hope the place is as smooth as I would love it to be Cheers, PorCus
