This is it! Why didnt't I think of that... Thank you!

Trying to replace an overpriced legacy service for my family, because my ISP charges an arm and a leg for a landline subscription which gets used at most once a day (oftentimes even less). So ideally a handset device capable of recieving and making calls to a limited number of devices.

Are you trying to learn how this works or just need a landline?

Both. I have only one ISP which maybe offers (there is some contradictory wording on their site) landlines for consumers. And they charge outrageous prices for a service which would be used at most once a day for a couple of minutes.

But if you say it's tough to pull of for a noobie then I'll look for other solutions.

Hi!

I'm looking to replace my family's landline phone with a VoIP based hardphone. From my research it seems that I'd need a SIP server and a SIP Trunk provider. But I also happened to find Jami that has a SIP account feature.

  1. Could I make and recieve calls with Jami over the hardphone similar to a landline phone (minus the ability to call and recieve calls from normal phone numbers) with this setup (SIP server + Jami + hardphone)?
  2. Does anyone have experience setting up a similar system?
  3. Am I overcomplicating things and a used smartphone turned into a softphone would be a better choice?

I've just recently begun my selfhosting journey so I'm not very well versed in networking, but I am willing to put in the time and effort to learn. So any (constructive) feedback/guidance is greatly appreciated!

EDIT: The solution for me it seems is to just buy a used Android smartphone and connect it to a bluetooth handset. Thanks everyone :)

Is it? After reading the article and the original post in the kernel mailing list, IMO the article depicts Linus' opinions accurately.

Was also astonished to find out that Linus considers people who advocate for sustainable tech are doing so solely out of fear and that AI can't be criticised because humans also make errors.

Worse, it's Dota 2.
