I am a vegan nerd who loves vintage computers, C64 and Amiga in particular. I use Linux exclusively since Oct. 2021 and I still have a lot to learn. I fix phones for a living. I sold my car and use my bicycle instead or public transportation, if time or distance won't let me use my bike. I vote left-green and I try to keep away from Google, Facebook and co. I love videogames and everything about the dystopian future fascinates me. I try to fix things before I trash them.

Stingray oft Scoopex passed away at the age of 50. He will always be remembered not only through the uncountable contributions to the scene. Way too soon.

Thank you, I will install it right away! Even though I own an Amiga 1200 only :D

@MuseumShuffle
Do you remember forums or bulletin boards, where your reply had to be at least 10char long? Ppl put there reply in the field plus the phrase "10char", to get around the limitation.

This is unpopular opinion, but for Firefox to live, Mozilla, as it currently operates, needs to die.

They forgot their core user base hates cloud and AI features. They want a simple browser that connects to web servers and displays pages. Meanwhile, executive are getting fat salaries and bounces while begging users for money on AI and other privacy intrusion projects like adding perplexity directly to Firefox. They lost their vision long time ago.

My guess really is that the lack of a good, stable clock is our issue here. Also with the DECT handover between nodes. Nodes are slightly out of sync. Thank you very much for pointing this out! Something to work with next week. My boss won't be happy to hear that though :D Means to redo our clock system, which was a pain to install already. I really appreciate the support.

@manawyrm

You are onto something here. We recently had issues with the DECT system, too due to clock issues. That together with a rather not so competent ISP could explain our fax issues. Now I have something to investigate. Thank you so much! BTW we use external Meinberg boxes for the clock but without GPS, just the internal clock of the boxes... The people who service our systems often seem not to know what they are doing, either.

Thank you for the reply. I know you do ISDN stuff very well. Was worth a shot. BTW sorry for pinging all of you. I am a bit overwhelmed by the amount of literature and just want to buy a good book.

@revengeday
Not true. The fucking server is a bit overwhelmed. But I did it anyway. Tell your chooms to disconnect their cyberdecks from the website, maybe it'll speed up then. :)

I could use some experience from VoIP experts on the Fediverse. Maybe @LaF0rge, @manawyrm or @Lambdacore? I help to maintain a network of 12 Hipath 4000s. Recently we had to replace our E1 trunks to the service provider with IP trunks and ever since we have a lot of issues with faxes. I would love to educate myself on the topic VoIP and faxes more. I.e. how to trace down issues and such. Can you suggest good literature in this regard? I appreciate everybody's help, not only the tagged ones. :)

Watch out, Fediverse. The changelog of my favorite email client on Android sounds like the author is about to lose motivation because of all the hatespeech and recently because of the cost for some features. If you are looking for a great client on Android, check Fairmail out (also on FDroid) and buy the pro version to support Fairmail.

P.S.: and leave him some nice comments for a change. I just did.

This has nothing to do with right to repair but considering your skills ins pixel art, you totally could take part in graphics compos at a demo party. I love the icons!

Didn't they close the hackspace up? They were planning to move it to the Begeisterhaus, the last I know.

I have a sewing machine I can lend to you, Enola. Just to dip the toe into the water and get used to stuff. I am no expert either but I can put thread into the machine and make some stitches already :D

@Lijo
Du umgibst dich mit komischen Leuten. Welches OS machst du denn drauf, wenn nicht Android? Ich liebäugele mit postmarketOS aber fühle mich noch nicht informiert genug. Den Zustand muss ich beizeiten abstellen. So lange nutze ich CalyxOS, weil es kein Graphene für das 4er gibt.

Das ist nicht zwangsläufig der Fall. Mit diesem Käsekuchen habe ich bisher immer Glück gehabt und er schmeckt wie ein unveganer: veggie-einhorn.de/bester-vegan

Hast du einen Link zum Rezept, Holger?

@Lambdacore @revisionparty

I have a question regarding the telco infrastructure. I saw an OpenStage phone at the infodesk as well as a BS DECT base station. Which telephone switch did you use? Out of curiousity.
