It's also all over LinkedIn. It's all just kind of super dumb imo. One of the worst offenders of note was this security person's ad-riddled regurgitation of it that they promoted on LinkedIn:

When I protested about their shitty website shoving ads down my throat, the answer was - I'm paraphrasing of course, but something along the lines of - of course I need ads! I have to cover the cost of my shitty WordPress site (and what are you even thinking to question that!!?? You outta ur mind or somethin?)

I felt like I was indeed stuck with her in 2010 after that...


Free up some $ for Skydance WB acquisition if needed?

A lot of dumb shit happens in this arena, where if you had just one smart cop, it could have been prevented. Here’s one from 2023:

Does this do anything curl can’t or are we just enthralled with the tininess?

Actually hfile has nothing new, So the basic philosophy here is a small binary.

They should add voip.ms. it's better all around I think

I had an horrible experience with VoIP.ms.

Every time I wanted to call a number in Europe I had to contact their support and go through "can you try now and see if works?" several time.

After 3 months I had enough of it and asked to have my provisioned credit reimbursed but they just refused.


Voip.ms is great for a simple SIP trunk but it has almost none of the programmable voice and other features of Telnyx or Twilio.

A number of years ago I wanted to drop a webhook when a call came in on VoIP.ms but couldn't find any way to do it natively.

Ended up sticking a twilio endpoint in the ring group with a "press 1 to accept this call" message so it wouldn't eat the call, then was able to fire an http request with the call details.

It worked well, although I admit I was a little annoyed I couldn't do it directly with VoIP.ms.


ah yeah, I'm about to setup a grandstream ht801 for a voip home phone so I probably dont need all that

Hah, need to setup a Grandstream HT801 this weekend and this cements my decision to use voip.ms vs telnyx. Not that the device would use that library (have no idea), but just, yeah generally, it's a good cue to stay away for me.

Checked and mine was already on disabled. Don't remember if I previously toggled it or not..

If you previously opted out of the setting allowing GitHub to collect data for product improvements, your preference has been retained here. We figured if you didn't want that then you definitely wouldn't want this..

My favorite was actually the one about the carpenters/house builders (forget the name of it, I need to dig it out of some box in the garage and read it again)

That book is just called House, although I always confuse the title with J. D. Salinger's Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters.

Hah, I should have remembered that title. Just ordered the Truck Full of Money book. I hadn't really kept track of his later works.

Yeah, I bought that and SoaNM as a pair because my parents had copies back in the day. Never regretted it and went on to read everything he wrote. Will miss the opportunity to dive into some subject I know little to nothing about with him.

I don't know if I liked it more then Soul Of A New Machine but for some reason House stuck with me. I remember a bit that talked about building to a "good and workmanlike manner." It's funny the stuff that sticks with you.
