Today I set up a voice-over-IP line for the first time for work. I even got a vanity toll-free number. I learned that you can use something called a "softphone" (i guess software phone?) with your VOIP service, and the softphone can be an app on whatever device you currently have. I ended up using Zoiper for iOS, "registering" my SIP (I don't know what SIP stands for still), and I was able to make a few test calls! That was thrilling lol. BUT a few hours later, we tried to call into the number, and I didn't get a push notification, so I don't know if this is a viable alternative for my work (a retail business). Soon I'll make recordings and a phone tree! Even if we don't end up using it, it was fun to learn.

Just now, I turned on my reMarkable (1) tablet for the first time in months, and it would connect to wifi but not sync nor get updates. I had to ssh into the tablet and reset the clock. I followed this great resource: https://remarkable.jms1.info/info/clock.html This was my first time sshing into my reMarkable! it was ... remarkably easy? lol

So I did a little bit of hacking today! Glad to hear little project updates from yall too =)

That's so sweet, Julie!

And thanks for the prompt Romy <3

Work-related, I'm deep into two things in particular at the moment: 1) streamlining our i18n (internationalization) process for both web and app repositories (using Weblate and an eclectic assemblage of bash scripts + translate toolkit); and 2) better streamlining comms processes between devs, outreach partners, UI/UX partners, and funders. Fun times! FYI our core projects include https://censorship.no, https://ouinet.work, and https://ouisync.net.

In personal time, been taking a UX design course from Google cuz I'm getting exhausted from project + product management in our understaffed org and would like to work more closely with user feedback + product design, researching & planning our outdoor kitchen DIY build, gardening & automation, and iterating on the ideal tech nomad travel bag :)

Cheers,

Jenny

I've been out of town visiting folks, but fixed a pillow for my grandma and helped fix a dead buzz light-year for my 3-year-old cousin.  Both are very happy now haha.

Subject: [sudo-discuss] How is everyone doing? What have you worked on this week?

I'm all in on augmented reality. I'm still thinking a lot about light projection.

I have been busy, haven't had time to stop by. Will try to make it to hardware hack night Tuesdays!

One positive change is that I've been minimizing as much as possible the presentations I've had to look at this week. I think I just saw too many.

Another thing is, I'd like to come to sudoroom and focus entirely on hacking. I feel like I was on that track, but really cool people would distract me and try to get me into that the past few weeks.
