  • I’m super happy with jmp.chat

    I was hesitant to try it, but once I ported my number over, it’s the best service I’ve ever used.

    It’s $5/month, and your phone calls and texts are forwarded to an XMPP account. Voice mails are transcibed and sent as a text, with the included audiofile. It works over the internet, so you can have multiple phones with the number, and you can use your computer for the service as well.

    For data, I use jmp.chats data only esim. It’s $7/year + $5/gig but the data never expires.





  • We’ll see if your reading comprehension liabilities extend to self-hosting.

    Seafile is extremely easy to set up and does one thing and one thing well.

    It does store your data as binaries, so it would be a bit harder to restore than Nextcloud due to that, but I’ve never had an issue with seafile.

    Of course, I didn’t have a problem with Nextcloud until an upgrade borked the installation bad enough that even restoring from backup couldn’t solve the issue.



  • Or, you can skip the unhinged rant, use monocles or dino, and a public server.

    Also, hosting a server is much simpler than something like matrix. You can host an xmpp server on a pi and that is more than enough. Or, just use a public server.

    So difficult.

    I like how you included steps that absolutely aren’t required and haven’t been for like a decade to make your statement more hyperbolic.
