Blink: Intent to Experiment: WebRTC Data Channel: SCTP Negotiation Acceleration Protocol

Cope in the comments about Safari getting trounced *in Apple's own benchmarks* by an early iOS/Blink bring-up is reaching heretofore unseen levels. Incredible scenes.

Apropos of nothing at all: Quality is the integral of process + culture over time. Destroying, or carelessly disrupting, either one is an existential brand risk, and thermostatic responses which do not rebuild process and culture are doomed to fail.

Warmest march month @bolincentre.bsky.social @stockholm-uni.bsky.social #SMHI: www.svt.se/nyheter/loka... We read out data from #TarfalaResearchStation s Automated Weather Station and confirm: It was the warmest march month here since 1965, with a monthly average of only -3.6 C this year

Depending on your background, you may have seen the significand referred to as the "mantissa" (e.g., in IEEE 754); that's literally the only thing I can add to this beautiful, masterful explanation.

Jürgen Habermas ist gestorben. Er war ein großer Philosoph und Denker unserer Zeit. Sein konsequenter Standpunkt für Freiheit, Demokratie und Grundwerte, seine Leidenschaft zum Diskurs und Anstöße für gesellschaftliche Auseinandersetzungen hat viele Menschen beschäftigt. Auch mich. Sie bleiben.

Published the "how to fix it" guides for TURN server security. Copy-paste coturn configs included. Also talking about this on WebRTC Live today: webrtc.ventures/webrtc-live/ enablesecurity.com/blog/turn-security-best-practices/

Only one thing I'd add is that these models put a premium on knowing what quality output is. That skill is not evenly distributed, and these tools are going to speed-run the consequences of (low) quality in many orgs. Will create demand for thing-knowers.

If you work on the web, you should read @mnot.net's latest: mnot.net/blog/2026/02/13/… It much more elegantly gets to the core of the pro/anti-progress asymmetry I tried to explore last year: infrequently.org/2025/08/how-do-c…

I recently spent some time tinkering with #rtcStats to see if/how easy it would be to use with the #Janus demos, or to monitor/analyze Janus #webrtc sessions in general. If you're curious about how that went, read the post and let me know what you think about it! www.meetecho.com/blog/rtcstat...

I think I am going to use this meme quite a few times in the future 🤣

The #MoQ vs. #WebRTC debate has been missing use case details. See our new post for an analysis of: * 1:1 calls * #VoiceAI * Meetings * Streaming * Live streaming * Webinars / Townhalls

IM works with 500ms latency. Relaying audio or video in a call does not which is why one wants to run relay servers (TURN) really close to the user which means AWS, Azure or GCP.

The (super)bad news is that they rejected the #RTC devroom, though... 😢 I can't remember the last time that happened, I think it's always been there? No room for #webrtc #sip and other stuff this time around... or #moq, since I'm pretty sure we would have seen submissions on that too 2/2

New post: Is everyone switching to #MoQ? Fippo responds to some FUD about #WebRTC in a recent MoQ launch post with some historical perspective & Chrome Status data

They tried...

Really missing Bernard Aboba today. Tell the co-workers you appreciate how great they are while you can, because life is short.

mediasoup-client 3.15.0 has been released and you should update to it ASAP, otherwise your app will stop working due to changes in the way Chrome M140 assigns IDs to RTP extensions. All the info here: mediasoup.discourse.group/t/urgent-upg...

Perplexity just offered $34.5B to buy Chrome! 🚨The big question: without a legal obligation, will they fund the web platform that the world relies on at anywhere near Google’s ~$1B/year level? Our answer: probably not. New OWA Article: open-web-advocacy.org/blog/can-per... 🧵 Let's break it down

Voluntary web SDOs like W3C, IETF, and ECMA are premised on the idea that vendors who step into their ring can step out and ship what they like in their own products. So why do they allow Apple to remain in good standing when Cupertino dynamited the foundations? /cc @open-web-advocacy.org

Ok, fine. Computers were a mistake.

Your job as an engineer is not just to make things, but to construct an understanding of the underlying systems so that you build *appropriate* and *durable* things. Reject silver bullets. Question marketing to the point of disbelief or nuanced partial acceptance. It's the job.

New post: Measuring the response latency of OpenAIs WebRTC-based Realtime API by @hcornflower.bsky.social Fippo shows how to measure OpenAI's response latency using #WebRTC and VoIP tools with an analysis of the results. webrtchacks.com/measuring-th...

Me to a product leader: your product sucks compared to your competition, here's the side-by-side. The competition: ~2MB of critical path JS (>6MB unzipped) with React and an effing rainbow table (380K, 770K unzipped) in the main bundle. Average is now so bad you don't even have to be good to win!

hey @lminiero.it can you provide a tl;dr of the differences between the Janus the #webrtc folks know and the Janus-Pro-7B version? Keep it brief!

I'm lucky that early in my professional software career, @fritzy.io taught me: "Writing code is the easy part. Understanding the problem is the hard part." The implications of this truth are massively and quickly compounding when it comes to AI-assisted development.

As of today, Stockholm University's #TarfalaResearchStation is on this platform, migrating from X. We are proud that our second ScienceCafe, this year together with the Swedish Polar Secretariat, held in Kiruna on Sat 18 Jan was a great success with more than 90 attendees! Thank you for coming!

It must have been tempting to call it "LMQUIC" but ... "IMQUIC" is so much better!

Interesting comparing the new #OpenAI realtime API with #WebRTC vs. what is running now on chatGPT. 1 PeerConnection vs 2.. No RED

Der Strand von #Warnemünde dick verschneit am 30. November 2023 - die Winterperiode hielt bis zum 09. Dezember an. Zeitweise betrug die mittlere #Schneedecke im Ostseebad 15 cm. Das war schon bemerkenswert für die Jahreszeit direkt an der Küste. Webcam: hotel-neptun.de/hotel/webcam/
