Also in the Netherlands and I have recently extended this concept to my home internet. Since 25 Mbps download / 10 Mbps upload is enough for my use, I no longer have an internet subscription and I make use of $25 LycaMobile unlimited data sim cards for home internet using a sim router. The IMEI of the router can be easily modified, which is also a plus.

Thank you for the update. I'll check again tomorrow (as usual)

I have a habbit of searching my own name a few times a week and sorting by new, to check if my name appears somewhere. It makes sense to me, but I would be self-conscious about it if someone asked me why tf I am looking myself up so often as if I'm famous

Self-hosted VoIP? (mander.xyz)
submitted 8 months ago by SpicyAnt@mander.xyz to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I would like to use a SIM7600X 4G Expansion Board (like this one) to connect my raspberry pi to the mobile network.

In this raspberry pi I am also running an XMPP server.

I want to then create an account that will bridge SMS messages between the SIM7600 and my XMPP account (should be easy), and ideally it should also be able to bridge phone calls (might be difficult?).

I know about the XMPP-VoIP JMP.chat, and since they are open source I can get some inspiration from them.

I will try to implement something myself, but I am not an amazing programmer. So I am wondering whether there is already some open source project that is more tailored for this application.

I have a mobile wireless router (PW100 4G LTE Router) that provides WiFi via a SIM card. I have purchased several data "bundle codes". One way to activate a data code is to send a USSD code: *101*CODE#

The router's interface provides a USSD Service interface through which I should be able to send these USSD codes.

When I attempt to load a bundle code, or to check my balance by submitting the USSD code *101#, the site hangs and eventually prints out: "session terminated by network"

If I place the sim card into a phone I am able to issue the USSD codes without problem. So, it is the wireless router that is not properly managing the USSD connection.

I have been trying to troubleshoot this with no success. Do any of you here have experience with WiFi routers, or with USSD codes in general, and might have some suggestions of things I can try?

I think that the distrust of governments and generally those in power is a world-wide phenomenon. But I personally don't think that it is unwarranted. Corruption, abuses of power, and conspiracies are widespread.

“In November I had received two letters from Teachers’ Pensions asking me euphemistically if I was dead,”

I am curious about how one euphemistically asks someone if they are dead. Any guess?

The actual title of the linked article is: Leaked German military documents laid out a doomsday scenario where Russia wins in Ukraine then invades Europe

The article explicitly states:

The documents are not a prediction but part of worst-case-scenario planning, a common exercise within militaries. A German official called the scenario "extremely unlikely."

So I don't think that the title of this post is fair. Russia could go to war with NATO in 2024, and you don't need a leaked document to tell you that. But there is nothing in this article that makes this possibility seem any more or less likely.
