Anyone can open an account. I did not type this to brag. I wanted to hear what other people have realized about themselves. I don't own a home/have a mortgage and my cars are beaters. If only I put the money to use in a way that meant something to myself and the people I loved instead of making poor decisions, I might actually be better off in life now.

I am an "all or nothing type". Have weed in the house? It will be smoked daily. But, I stopped years ago. Stopped thinking about it, stopped being around people associated with it. I am proud now. I hope to be proud years from now from not throwing money away. Gotta let go and not think about it.

Know thyself...congrats. I can say with certainty that the guilt of affecting ones close to you will never leave you. Light comes from darkness.

 

I'll go first...after 10 years of speculating in the market (read: gambling in high risk assets) I realized I shouldn't ever touch a brokerage account in my lifetime. A monkey would have made better choices than I did. Greed has altered the course of life many times over. I am at an age where I may recover from my actions over the decades, but it has taken its toll. I am frugal and have a good head on me, but having such impulsivity in financial instruments was not how I envisioned my adulthood. Its a bitter pill to swallow, since money is livelihood of my family, but I need to "invest" all I have into relationships, meaningful moments, and fulfilling hobbies.

I like what Arcadius Avellanus, a Latin scholar and speaker, wrote about Esperanto.

!! I love LilyPond. Found in back in 2010 when I installed Ubuntu for the first time and wanted an alternative to Finale...first OSS software I probably knowingly used. I felt like a real coder typing my music. Frescobaldi is a nice compliment to LilyPond. I still use LilyPond to this day

Femme fatale! I wonder how this would have played out if it weren't for that girl at the hostel flirting with him, wanting to see the man behind the mask.

Let me know how it goes, or if you get more creative. I wish I used the XMPP side more, but people I know use Signal or just text.

Sure, there are other ways to go about getting more or less the same functionality. I love hearing other ideas.

jmp.chat is an open source VoIP provider. The telephone itself, a Cortelco 2500 telephone, is not bluetooth nor VoIP. I love the classic physical gong ringer. The telephone connects to the Cell2Jack adapter via a standard telephone cable (6P2C/RJ11). The Cell2Jack itself has the bluetooth. What's cool is I can also use the telephone speaker as a one-ear "headphone" device for any and all media I play on my device if I change the setting on Cell2Jack.

I like Dino! However, the way Cell2Jack is designed to integrate with smartphone native dialer phone apps (either Android or iPhone), Dino wouldn't be as seamless as I would like for my purposes, and the telephone ringer wouldn't ring (again, due to Cell2Jack design). Cheogram integrates with the native phone dialer so I don't even have to use a device screen to answer or dial out a number using either the Android or Raspberry Pi setup. The tactile experience is desirable to me so I'm attempting to go headless on the Pi too. But, maybe I'm missing some perspective here...I would love to hear other people's take on this sort of idea!

  • jmp.chat phone number, shared between spouses as a “family number” either of us can answer at home or away from phone.
  • Cell2Jack device that converts bluetooth phone call into landline phone
  • Cortelco 2500 telephone

Video with sound here. Video was taken of Android phone Cheogram app, but I will instead use this setup with Raspberry Pi 4 + Waydroid/Lineage OS and Cheogram app in the coming days.

Yes, you can answer and dial out from the telephone instead of device for integrated phone apps like Cheogram. For Signal, I have to tap answer on device but can pick up telephone to continue the audio call.

Latin: I'm reading at a level of a second year student. Noun and adjective declensions are solid, but I am trying to hone in on different tenses of complicated verb forms, such as imperfect passive conjunctive. I can only speak Latin with small phrases derived from vocabulary and familiar texts I've read. My speech is quite limited since there is no one around me that has an interest in Latin, so I have to piece together and memorize what I want to say before saying it.

Ancient Greek: I know only the alphabet.

Both: I am a self learner in my adult years and did not take either language via schooling.

 

Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata, qui liber gratus est, nunc difficilis mihi est postea capitulum tricesimum. In futuro, tamen, hunc finiam. Ante aliquos dies, inveni alterum librum quem Carolus et Maria appellatur. Fabulae de puerum puellamque narrantur. Habet vocabula similis libro Wheelock's Latin. Repetitio verborum est grande auxilium mihi. Omnibus discipulis linguae latinae illud librum legere suadeo. Quid nunc legis?
