I like what Arcadius Avellanus, a Latin scholar and speaker, wrote about Esperanto.

!! I love LilyPond. Found in back in 2010 when I installed Ubuntu for the first time and wanted an alternative to Finale...first OSS software I probably knowingly used. I felt like a real coder typing my music. Frescobaldi is a nice compliment to LilyPond. I still use LilyPond to this day

Femme fatale! I wonder how this would have played out if it weren't for that girl at the hostel flirting with him, wanting to see the man behind the mask.

Let me know how it goes, or if you get more creative. I wish I used the XMPP side more, but people I know use Signal or just text.

Sure, there are other ways to go about getting more or less the same functionality. I love hearing other ideas.

jmp.chat is an open source VoIP provider. The telephone itself, a Cortelco 2500 telephone, is not bluetooth nor VoIP. I love the classic physical gong ringer. The telephone connects to the Cell2Jack adapter via a standard telephone cable (6P2C/RJ11). The Cell2Jack itself has the bluetooth. What's cool is I can also use the telephone speaker as a one-ear "headphone" device for any and all media I play on my device if I change the setting on Cell2Jack.

I like Dino! However, the way Cell2Jack is designed to integrate with smartphone native dialer phone apps (either Android or iPhone), Dino wouldn't be as seamless as I would like for my purposes, and the telephone ringer wouldn't ring (again, due to Cell2Jack design). Cheogram integrates with the native phone dialer so I don't even have to use a device screen to answer or dial out a number using either the Android or Raspberry Pi setup. The tactile experience is desirable to me so I'm attempting to go headless on the Pi too. But, maybe I'm missing some perspective here...I would love to hear other people's take on this sort of idea!

  • jmp.chat phone number, shared between spouses as a “family number” either of us can answer at home or away from phone.
  • Cell2Jack device that converts bluetooth phone call into landline phone
  • Cortelco 2500 telephone

Video with sound here. Video was taken of Android phone Cheogram app, but I will instead use this setup with Raspberry Pi 4 + Waydroid/Lineage OS and Cheogram app in the coming days.

Yes, you can answer and dial out from the telephone instead of device for integrated phone apps like Cheogram. For Signal, I have to tap answer on device but can pick up telephone to continue the audio call.

Self hosted XMPP

For example, from a US-based perspective, a "positive" is that law enforcement agencies and the thousands of social media monitoring tools they utilize look at Twitter and other big platforms. LEO agencies have had for years the channels to monitor posts and request instantaneously from those companies supplemental information on the user or post that is being investigated. LE will be out of luck if they were attempting to immediately investigate a user on an obscure white supremacist forum hosted in Russia. That website owner and its servers would not be in jurisdiction to respond to that request.

Also, please see my other reply 1 minute before yours regarding private companies being able to ban, suprress, etc. I agree with you that private companies can run their own ship how they please, whether in the best interests of profit or ideology.

Sure, I don't object to your statement of Twitter not being a free platform, and I did not claim it was. Conversely, other social media have been also known to suppress the right and protect the left. Social media can "lean" so to speak. They are provately operated companies after all. I value free speech nonetheless.

Time is money, and this format of teaching/learning is my favorite. Please post here, I'm all alone.
