Firefox's ability to switch microphone inputs on-the-fly on HardenedBSD (I'd suspect other BSDs are affected) leaves much to be desired. As far as I can tell, Firefox opens /dev/dsp at application start, so if the user were to plug in a microphone after Firefox has already started, then Firefox won't pick up the change in device.

One correction. We will not be using Jit.Si for the June talk, but want to consider it for future talks. So the request for people's experience using it still stands, but for future considerations. - Ra?l From jondrews at fastmail.com Wed Jun 2 06:35:19 2021 From: jondrews at fastmail.com (Jonathan Drews) Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2021 04:35:19 -0600 Subject: [talk] Jitsi on OpenBSD Message-ID: <20210602103519.GA3556@localhost.localdomain> Hi Folks: I saw your posts on running Jitsi. Here is how I got it working on OpenBSD 6.9. Audio is disabled in OpenBSD. Read this: Audio recording is now disabled by default in OpenBSD https://www.zdnet.com/article/audio-recording-is-now-disabled-by-default-in-openbsd/ Here are my notes on configuring audio and video on OpenBSD. The primary reference is: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq13.html in addition to the man pages. To get audio and video working on OpenBSD: Add yourself to group wheel in /etc/group. Do as root: # chmod g+rw /dev/video0 or whatever your video device is. Find it in dmesg. In /etc/sysctl.conf (file is in /etc/examples) add: kern.audio.record=1 kern.video.record=1 Add the following lines to /etc/mixerctl.conf (mixerctl.conf is in /etc/examples). # $OpenBSD: mixerctl.conf,v 1.1 2014/07/16 13:21:33 deraadt Exp $ # # mixerctl(1) configurable parameters. See mixerctl.conf(5) for details. # # output volume value for most audio cards # outputs.master=200 record.adc-0:1=240,240 record.adc-0:1_source=mic record.enable=on record.adc-0:1_source=mic3 You'll have to experiment as your laptop may not have the same entries as my mixerctl.conf. Invariably they should begin with "record." Do # mixerctl -av to find the settings As an aid in getting your microphone to work use aucat (see man 1 aucat). To do a test recoding do: $ aucat -i test.wav to play back the rscording, to see if your microphone is working do: $ aucat -o test.wav I have used Jitsi several times from my OpenBSD T420 Laptop. The only difficulty was sharing my desktop. Firefox froze when doing that. My guess is that happens because of pledge. Video and audio worked great. Response times can be bad if you use Jitsi over WiFi. I switched to ethernet and my signal strength improved. To adjust the volume of the microphone and speakers use cmixer. cmixer is in packages. -- Kind regards, Jonathan From george at ceetonetechnology.com Wed Jun 2 09:39:54 2021 From: george at ceetonetechnology.com (George Rosamond) Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2021 09:39:54 -0400 Subject: [talk] Tonight NYC*BUG: Minimal Script Configuration Message-ID: <628d05d8-a1a3-c4ce-fb98-cf75a00b60e4@ceetonetechnology.com> NOTE: For Zoom meeting details, email to rsvp AT lists.nycbug.org by noon on the day of the meeting, and details will be sent on the day of the meeting.

By providing only the minimal scaffolding for writing scripts, it is possible to build configuration management that scale with the complexity of the environment. In this discussion we will consider three different architectures: Agent-Server, Gather-Fact, and Remote Execution.
