La derecha lo tiene claro. Para quitar del medio a un adversario hay que acusarle de un delito y sentarle con la complicidad de poder judicial en el banquillo para juzgarle. Fascismo en estado puro.


it's kind of nuts that we'd pay a commercial voip service for a DID number and per-minute voice call charges just to run a BBS or dial-up service with modems

has anyone created a public (voip) PBX for modem-based retrocomputing? to be clear: i'm talking about something like a SIP Proxy which would allow for direct IP-to-IP connections between client/server.

it’s not hard to do. Can make up a DID range and folks can register to get a number allocation. Someone would have to host the actual dial-in server.

The nice thing about SIP trunking is that you can have an huge amount of channels per trunk. I’ve been meaning to play around with this for years now.

One thing that I haven’t quite worked out is how to simulate in software the answering modem to avoid requiring an FXS gateway and a ton of physical modems.

basically set up a software PBX on a VPS somewhere. Folks apply for a number and register a SIP session using an FXS gateway which converts analogue audio to G.711a uncompressed audio. Linksys made a neat little device called a PAP. Some cables modems and routers have this built in.

BBC reporting:

Two leading Israeli rights organisations have said Israel's conduct in the war in Gaza constitutes genocide against the Palestinian population.

B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel released separate reports on Monday based on studies of the past 21 months of conflict.

At a news conference in Jerusalem on Monday, B'Tselem's executive director Yuli Novak said her organisation's report was "one that we never imagined we would have to write".

Dr Guy Shalev, executive director of PHRI, said: "Silence in the face of genocide is not an option. We want to stress: confronting genocide is not only the responsibility of legal and political institutions. Confronting it demands urgent action from the global health community."

"Freakonomics" sounds like the type of economics practiced by Dracula, Frankenstein, and other such individuals. The truth, sadly, is far less whimsical.
