The problem wasn't the AS/400 (IBM i) it was the 5250 interface. That's throwing the baby out with the bath water.

And even then, as with any other UI model, application design plays a massive role.

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

I think they mean where does one sign up to this newsletter.


I'm knee-deep in the tech newsletter niche and I've never seen an official Tailwind newsletter. The only one I subscribe to is a small, unofficial weekly newsletter by Vivian Guillen:

The only problem is that it seems to have stopped sending in October.



Trixie has been great except for the proprietary nvidia driver. The upgraded 550 driver has known problems with 4k @ 120hz that causes crazy flickering [1].

I tried the 580 bundle with the same problem. I had to revert to the 535 bundle.

Code signing certificates are even worse.


Play Atari 2600 Adventure online.

I once ported the game into Flash, using a disassembly of the game as reference. I had it on my website, but it got DMCA-ed off for trademark reasons.


> 2) do not use liquid fabric softeners. see #1. I use a fabric sheet on drying.

Have you tried vinegar in the wash and wool dryer balls? I pre-wash with vinegar and add an extra rinse cycle. It's way better than fabric sheets and the balls also speed up the drying process.


Vinegar is also good for dissolving lime, which builds up in the washer when you have "hard" water and will make it stink - not a mold stink, though, more some kind of bacteria that loves to live in lime. In this case it has nothing to do with residual water.

And vinegar is a pretty good cleaning agent all by itself.


I could but my wife has an intense hatred anything with vinegar in it. It makes her gag.


Me too. Luckily the smell doesn't persist.


It would be interesting to see something like this that runs WASM as a universal bytecode.


I'm sure it's been done. I doubt it really is any better though because you can do a lot of optimisations in software that you can't do in hardware.


A picture for anyone else curious what a Kohler Derry looks like.

May be it's the angle, but it looks a little too closer to a toilet bowl than a urinal.

Occasional spills are probably easier to manage compared to a misunderstanding over it's purpose.


What direction do you use that from?
