Disagree. If you were in Manhattan the first week after 9/11 you witnessed tremendous solidarity and cooperation. It was, in some small way, life changing to witness.

Jeff - I use twilio as my personal telco to send and receive sms to friends and family. What kind of business entity should I incorporate to continue texting my friends? How would you define my current “campaigns” and what kind of opt-out l

The question I have is: Why isn't there a combined MTA/DKIM/DNS server ? Why am I installing and configuring and running and monitoring all of these different server software packages ? I'd like to have a single config f

Interesting… I’ll bet it’s possible, just not organizationally possible… I’ll bet there are $80k Agilent / R&S rigs that can wire to a tower and do the entire cellular stack except for the PHY… Would love to see pictures of such

I don’t think it is correct to say that twilio numbers are blacklisted - rather, they simply test/lookup as not true mobile numbers. Which they aren’t. Your bank then decides not to send codes to non mobile numbers but it’s not becau

Anytime I think about these issues and this model I always wonder: Can you get a cellular connection over a wire? That is, instead of having 500 little radios connecting to one or two nearby towers, can you negotiate a direct connection to

I’m surprised twilio doesn’t offer a “sim hotel” where you just mail in your actual SIM card and then interface with it over their api… It solves all of their terrible new a2p 10dlc issues and would be genuinely useful. Actually, there are

No, this is easy. Twilio API has a simple lookup function (call over curl) to see provider and type of number. Also shows subscribers name (usually). I have this in a shell script and look up numbers all the time: /usr/local&

I think I may do that. Or buy a "real" SSL cert that I don't need to fiddle with every few months. I think there are some browsers that won't even connect to HTTP/80 without a warning ?

Yes but what to do ? I had a nice acme.sh toolchain and process and then this silliness: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36252310 ... all for a simple site that never needed SSL in the first place. (luckily I only ran

No, no battery swelling. The only minor hiccup I have had is that at some point the devices decide that enough time has passed that there must be a software update available ... and I ignore the prompts to do so ... which is fine ... ...

No, park your 2FA number on a 2FA mule[1] and forward the sms anywhere you like. This solves the “voip number” problem. [1] https://kozubik.com/items/2famule/

Looking at your floorplan/schematic I think that the open window, next to the fan, in the kitchen, is hurting airflow. It is likely that your predominant air flow is right in that window and right out the fan. You could probably estab

In addition to the basebandy RF stuff that you expect the baseband to do, it also does real-time voice modulation and call quality things like echo and noise cancellation… things that high level OS would do too slowly. In 2023 I suspect t
