Here is an artists rendering

I respect the proactive move to just assume appeal level communication from the OP.

OK, here’s a somewhat famous case of email that could only be sent within something over 500 miles, but no further: https://web.mit.edu/jemorris/humor/500-miles

Thank you for sharing this!

I don't see why not. Again, the resource footprint is so tiny that you can just throw in Mumble anywhere. You can make it tinier still if you limit sending pictures via that chat and allocate a maximum bandwidth via the config.

If pi zero, you’re serving 12 users low latency over wifi? Does it route the actual audio?

Yes, it's sufficient. I wouldn't advise it due to the extra overhead of wireless packet loss, but it's absolutely technically possible. Don't overestimate how little bandwidth voice chat really needs. It's like 10-50kB/s per person and you're unlikely to ever have more than 2 or 3 people talking at a time.

Wait unti you have to upgrade Zorin to a new release. I still haven’t gotten mine to work. Stick with Mint or Bazzite if you want a Windows alternate

I wouldn't exactly put up Mint as an example for a smooth upgrading experience...
Maybe I lack the technical understanding, but it's absolutely baffling to me, why one has to download mintupgrade. It's a reasonable setup wizard once it's running, but why on earth is that not part of the whole Update tool interface in the first place and gets downloaded automatically?

I didn’t realy remembering ever just like actually appreciating the moment.

The best moment to regularly start doing that hast passed, but the second best moment is right now. It really helps to regularly stop, look around, take inventory and think about the things in your life that make you happy right now.
Because this moment right now will also one day be part of "the good old time" and that's how it will continue until the end.

So, I’ve been having issues with voice chat on Discord and I’m looking for alternatives. In my search, I came across Mumble, here. Does anyone here have experience, or information regarding Mumble, or a better alternative to Discord with better latency? Is it relatively easy to set up? Is it safe? Any advice and help is greatly appreciated.

Been running a server for my friends for over a decade now. Can recommend. It's just one apt-get to set up, runs on a Pi Zero for a dozen people, has clients available for pretty much any platform and doesn't really require any maintenance. Latency will depend on the routing between you and your friends' ISPs, of course, but the whole purpose of the software itself was to provide a low-latency voicechat server for gaming.

But: That's it. You don't get anything else. It's a barebones voice chat server. You can set up rooms and have basic text-functionality, but you don't get any fancy user management, no full-fledged chatrooms, no persistence beyond the room setup and only limited backend options. Keep that in mind.

Yeah, but the binary of the program won't be platform-agnostic, that's what I meant!

Ah, I see. No, that's not the kind of use case I had envisioned. I don't think my suggestion is relevant to your problem then, sorry. Maybe one of the many calendar applications has a portable version that can entirely live in a Syncthing directory...? But then that wouldn't be platform-agnostic. Hm.

I have no way to gainfully apply this in my life but I am glad you made it!

If it could just store all calendar content in 1 local file, then that could be so easily auto-synced across devices with !syncthing@programming.dev. Does anyone have any leads?

Isn't calendar syncing a solved problem? If you set up your own CalDAV server you can pretty much use most any mainstream calendar app you want without having to rely on 3rd party services. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding your request?

I don't do journaling... but I'm still lugging around all my old ICQ and IRC chatlogs and haven't stopped hoarding my own conversations ever since. I guess that kind of counts?
