The amazing Connections Museum recently announced they were planning a new facility in Colorado, and put out a call for volunteers. I couldn't just not throw my name in the hat.
I interviewed with some of the Seattle team a couple of weeks back, and just heard this morning that I got a thumb's up to join the fun in bringing the new branch to life.
I still need to find a new FT job, but really looking forward to this being a part of my new future.
Hey folks. Was just curious if anyone knows of a good ATA that supports 48 kHZ opus. Many of them I've found do not, which, I suppose makes sence sinse most telephony systems aren't fun/crazy enough to make that their codec, well, that.

Hey there Fedi, I have a question for you again!
My new employer is using #Wazo for VoIP at work: https://wazo.io
Does anyone know how good/bad this company is in term of surveillance?
Should I try to avoid it as much as possible to limit potential recordings of my voice and face or are they supposed to be well behaved?
Their ToS seem relatively harmless but the product does not seem to be open-source so I'm not sure how much one can trust it.
VoIP.ms now has a softphone app available for #Android (#iOS coming soon).
Built to serve as a direct, integrated softphone option for VoIP.ms users, this app offers a simple and efficient solution for handling VoIP calls and messages, without the need for third-party tools.
VoIP.ms still supports SIP and can be configured with third party applications.

:boost_ok: #FollowerPower: Or does anyone know any #Android #Tablet that supports native #PhoneCalls & #SMS from it like a #Smartphone using it's built-in #WWAN / #4G / #5G modem that isn't some random chinese import brand like "#Crosscall" or something but actually reputable in delivering #security #updates post-launch?
It's for an eldery person who doesn't have the best eyesight anymore and just want to have something better than the overpriced #Doro / #Gigaset devices that are tiny.
Switching from Swisscom To Galaxus
Reading Time: 3 minutes
This morning the transition from Swisscom to Galaxus was completed. I moved from Swisscom to Galaxus because it's up to 50 CHF cheaper. Whereas I was paying about 70 CHF with Swisscom I now pay 19 CHF per month when I am within Switzerland, and I can pay 39 CHF per month when roaming in Europe. The one issue with this is that if I switch to roaming then it lasts for two months, not one before I can switch back.
Coverage
Swisscom has better coverage, in most places, so by switching to Galaxus I have to deal with lack of coverage in some places. This is because Galaxus uses the Sunrise network, rather than Swisscom. When hiking or in some buildings I lose network access.
Transfer Duration
If you want to get an esim it takes a few hours to get connected but if you want to migrate your phone number from your old provider to your new one it can take up to two months. I expected that the switch would be within a day or two.
If I had been waiting for my contract obligations to end then I would have understood the two month wait, but I have been out of contractual obligations for half a decade or more. I expected the switch to be by the end of the current month, rather than the end of the following month.
Switched in the Afternoon
The Switch took place between 13:11 and 14:11 yesterday. I expected it to be overnight, and to wake up to the message that the transfer had been completed.
My Swisscom sim was deactivated so that phone was offline. It then took a while for Galaxus to make the transfer. Rather than use the esim I already had they asked me to download a new esim, and that's when I was on Galaxus with my old Swisscom number.
It took a while longer for the Galaxus cockpit to update with the right number. It's at this point that I could create a secondary esim for the backup phone. The backup sim is so that I can use Apple Car play when I use the car that doesn't have the Android equivalent.
The Long Wait
I have been thinking of leaving Swisscom due to their expensive contract for years, but I could not find another contract that offered unlimited data at a good price in Switzerland until Galaxus came along with their offer. I have used an Android phone with Galaxus for two months and so far I have not been nagged about going over the limit.
Porting Specific
If you get a Galaxus SIM for testing, and then you decide to port your contract from one provider to another make sure to cancel the test account as soon as the port is accepted. I expected that when I ported my Swisscom number to Galaxus it would change the phone number but preserve the old esim. It doesn't. It counts the port as being applied to a new number and a new esim.
In Summary
When you're porting your number from one telecom operator to another, if you have a test account to see if you like the service, then as soon as you decide to port cancel the test account and revert to your current provider while waiting for the port. The day before the port you will get an e-mail saying "the port will take place from Time A to Time B".
When the port is done you will get an e-mail with the new esim, scan the QR code and within a few seconds you will have the old number on the new contract. That's it. You're done.
It's quick and easy. My blog post is to clarify the process as I could not find answers to my questions.
