    @bobjonkman @strangeattractor as it’s a one-day charity concert event I’m hoping companies may be willing to donate services as sponsorship

    The solution would be to have an analogue connection from end-to-end. But today, even analogue phones are connected to digital switching networks, so you can't even use ordinary landline phones and expect to get no delay. You can get "leased lines" from the phone companies that are analogue end-to-end, but leasing a tuned circuit that supports audio fidelity (ie. a 56 kHz leased line) will probably cost hundreds of dollars a month. Last time I saw an equalized analogue leased line was in 1980 when I worked at a radio station. It's possible analogue-only leased lines don't even exist any more. /cc @StrangeAttractor @LauraRitchie

    @bobjonkman @strangeattractor what if they instead of playing reactively everyone played to a world clock?

    - people could always record their contributions and video magic can be done with screens in a room and then the one room is streamed.

    Performing music together over an Internet connection is next to impossible if there is *any* lag at all. Typically, the lag is caused by short 10-50 millisecond delays for every router hop, at minimum one hop from you to your ISP, another from ISP to Internet Exchange Point (IXP), IXP to my ISP, and a fourth from my ISP to my computer. When you play the drum I hear your drumbeat 40-200 milliseconds after you play it. When I play a note on the piano you'll hear it 40-200 ms after I play it, or 80-400 ms after you've played your drumbeat. And our friend @StrangeAttractor will hear your drumbeat and my piano out-of-sync by 40-200 ms; if she plays her guitar synced to my piano you'll hear that 120-600 ms after you've played your drumbeat.

    There was a really cool commercial by Bell some 10 years ago that showed people playing together over their Internet connection; sadly it was only movie magic and no more realistic than flying through the air with a cape.

    Question: what, if any, small private domestic hobbies do you pursue besides cooking/baking? Creative activities whose output only cohabiting close friends and family get to see?

    My latest series start, domestic cozy, should be of particular interest to the fediverse, since I think it is a prime example https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2019/03/04/domestic-cozy-1/

    More on the livestreaming dilemma...

    I need to have the option of multiple participants AT THE SAME TIME - like playing in a band. So maybe the keyboard and drums are in one place (live) and the sax player joins from another country via a link.

    Does anyone know of a platform that lets you do that - instead of like skype/zoom/hangouts where it changes to whoever is talking and features their image & sound?

    ...and the concert will be 24 hrs. long.

    Yes, it's a rare doctor who will say "I don't know" when they don't know.

    It means your relationship to technology has been reversed. That you now execute processes at the behest of a computer instead of the other way around

    I think "below the api" means a job that involves doing what software tells you to do, like an Uber driver

    ya, it was the ssl certificate. To be more specific though Let's Encrypt, the Certificate Authority I use, was phasing out the kind of certificate this website was using and the switch required a little manual effort. I got an email about it a while back but completely forgot about it.

    I've been busy with job and personal life, sorry y'all!

    @Elmkast

    You're welcome.

    It's a topic that I've found tough to get my head around - I still don't feel like I completely understand.

    These books are the ones that helped bring the hard-won clarity I do have about the topic.

    It's a tough situation to be in, or to witness, and it's way more prevalent than I'd realized. I hope the books help some, and if you want to talk about this or other topics over email, my contact info is here:
