Thanks to working from home during the pandemic I recovered some extra time from my daily commute, and I've been taking guitar lessons online.

So far I've tried Skype and Zoom but the latency and audio quality are really quite terrible.

Skype's audio quality isn't particularly great and the video quality seems to adjust automatically during the call. With Zoom (web client) it does all kinds of weird zooming (!) of the camera (web client) and the audio quality was horrific (web and desktop client). For now we've reverted back to Skype.

Is there any solution anyone can recommend that focuses on *minimizing latency and maximizing audio quality above all the other features* (e.g., I don't need any team features; the ability to record a session would be nice but not required)? I'm even willing to look at self-hosted solutions at this point.

Thanks!

I currently manage a bunch of my domains on Gandi.net, but in light of their response to recent events (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22001822) I'm looking to transfer my domains to a different provider.

Does anyone here have any specific recommendations?

Hey folks,

I'm asking because I'm curious how one would go about doing something like this in 2019. What are the things you need to think about, and what measures would one need to take to ensure continued anonymity over time. In particular, I'm curious about just information transfer, like a simple, not-for-profit blog.

Since the threat model can get pretty vague, I guess I'm thinking about two main scenarios:

1. Easier case: how to prevent being de-anonymized by curious individuals and specific corporations (e.g., multiple ISP's colluding together may be able to de-anonymize you, but for example a specific company like Google can't).

2. Harder case: ensuring anonymity even from state-level actors.

Thanks!
