Why is self-hosted voice chat so hard? (lemmy.world)

All this talk about Discord replacements plus my own experience attempting to host a Synapse has got me wondering why it seems so hard to implement voice chat.

Stupid idea: back in 2022 I got an Asterisk server working on a raspberry pi over AREDN without too much trouble. What's stopping people from just using a PBX like that for voice chat?

Update: I got Mumble working without a lot of grief. Their mobile client isn't great though. I might try Stoat.

Federation just complicates things, as it's just for a myself and a few friends.

I remember using mumble in a time when smartphones weren't even a thing yet. Love to see the open source tool outlive everything else!

Look at fluxer it's stoat developed by someone who isn't retarded. Has done more in a fraction of the time and actually has functional features

https://f-droid.org/packages/se.lublin.mumla is not so bad as a mobile client for Mumble.

Oof. There's an entire fdroid ecosystem you've cut yourself off from.

iPhone has better accessibility.

~~fdroid~~ Sideloading

Almost everything in fdroid can simply be sideloaded. Due to the inability to backup your app list from fdroid, I've completely switched to obtainium.

Stoat is the epitome of grief lol
