Re^2: Is a Perl Skype-like VoIP connection possible?

Pardon my ignorance, but it appears Jitsi is a link embedder, and I haven't grasped at all how embedding a link, or links (into what, exactly?), could help accomplish this. If there are some FOSS options, what, besides Jitsi, might you have been alluding to?

Blessings,

it appears Jitsi is a link embedder It isn't clear at all how you came to that conclusion. Jitsi is a VoIP + IM solution. If there are some FOSS options There are loads of them. I would be using Asterisk for VoIP and probably Prosody for IM. If you are looking for a Perl answer then DJabberd is still available but (unfortunately) it has had no active development for a long time. Update: although DJabberd hasn't seen a release in a decade there actually has been some more recent activity over on the github repo so it might not be quite such bad news on that front as it first appeared. 🦛	[reply]

Here's what I found when I looked for Jitsi: https://metacpan.org/release/JHTHORSEN/LinkEmbedder-1.20/source/lib/LinkEmbedder/Link/Jitsi.pm Thank you for the additional ideas. I'll see what I can find on those. Blessings, ~Polyglot~	[reply]

That URL shows that Jitsi is one system in which the LinkEmbedder can embed links. Go up a level to https://metacpan.org/release/JHTHORSEN/LinkEmbedder-1.20/source/lib/LinkEmbedder/Link and you'll see all the targets listed there. Jitsi is no more a link embedder than Google or Travis or Webex or ... 🦛	[reply]
