I've built my own business VoIP system — a few times over. I've used Asterisk and FreePBX (the free-ish GUI built on Asterisk), but settled on Asterisk for stability. At one point FreePBX pushed out an update that took down my sys

Thanks for a great piece of software that I use every day in production and just works. At first I was scared of how stupid simple it is. It feels like web servers are supposed to have giant config files with a hundred mysterious knobs to t

I hate to be that guy, but if you don't mind being a Linux sysadmin you might consider running your own Asterisk server. I do that for my SMB with about a dozen physical sets, and use Twilio for SIP trunking. I followed the first 10 ch

I feel like the Twitter thread—for all its focus on royalty math—is missing some crucial context for people not immersed in the sausage-making of audiobooks, specifically Audible's ACX platform. I worked for Audible some years ago, so

I participated in a bulletin board with _why about 20 years ago. Unknowingly participated, I should say. I'm not sure if the _why persona had been invented at that point. In the early 2000s some of my high school friends started an inv

I did it a couple of months ago and it was an evening's worth of work with Netflix on in the background. Not infuriating at all, but there were definitely a couple of sweaty palm-inducing moments. That said, iFixit's instructions

Can't speak for the downvoters, but the omission of Eich is kind of a trivial point to nitpick on. At this point I've probably read the 'Brendan Eich created Javascript in 10 days' story 50 times—and even heard it once f

I hope they paid their attorneys a LOT more than that to get the fees down to $3,500. California's labor board is notoriously pro-employee and punitive towards employers who do not honor labor laws.
