No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why weren't telephone lines and electrical lines not buried under ground? Which would have saved a bunch of money from upkeep and accidents?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does the make a wish foundation really grant every wish? Or at least try to? Like if a 10 year old wanted to see Taylor Swift naked in person would they at least contact Swift or her Reps to do it?
5·19 days agoThere was that time in the late 1980s when a 13 year old with an inoperable heart condition wish to go to a party at the Playboy Mansion and the story goes that Hugh Hefner was delighted to make it happen.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Would you use a privacy-first mobile app that watches your whole self-hosted stack — nothing phoning home?English
2·22 days agoIf you want it for yourself, that should be enough reason to make something. If you are hoping to launch a business this likely isn’t it.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How do people handle authoritative DNS redundancy for their self-hosted workloads?English
51·22 days agoNot sure if it helps but I’m using BunnyDNS from Slovenia for $1/month. I would like to host my own DNS servers but I’m not at that level yet.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•A couple mates and I run askhistorians.lemmy.world. How can we get more people to post instead of myself all the time?
111·25 days agoJust a guess, but maybe that you post a seemingly endless stream of mostly insincere and/or easily searched questions while rarely engaging with the people who answer you isn’t leading to interest in your other projects.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do people shower before wearing bike shorts, use a bidet, or some third thing? What is the preparation process?
39·1 month agoWhether you are putting on bike shorts, board shorts, or no shorts at all, always fully clean yourself after you poop and live worry free.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is a web browser using another scripting language feasible?
2·1 month agoYes but OP was specific

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is a web browser using another scripting language feasible?
121·1 month agoSure but then you are basically creating an alternate web which is incompatible with the current one. Your browser wouldn’t be able to load any js based sites and current browsers would not be able to load your python/lua based sites.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How can people know what they want at a given moment?
5·2 months agoSome people aren’t picky at all in my experience. Like my cousin Jack. He’s always ready for a meal and doesn’t care what it is as long and someone else is buying/cooking!

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•it is fact male ejaculate travels at 28mph. How did they measure that speed?
5·2 months agoThey use a device called a Perry Gordan Measurement Device. Named after the two people who invented it. It looks a little like a bowling bag with a fleshlight stuck in it. A volunteer is provided with the erotic material of their choosing to help them achieve erect state and then the subject inserts themself into the fleshlight part and until they ejaculate within the machine. At which point sensitive photo voltaics and micro lasers are used to measure the speed with military accuracy. Or not. Cheers!
So ideally a handset device capable of recieving and making calls to a limited number of devices.
When you say a “limited number of devices” do you mean a closed system when you have provisioned all the devices or do you mean you also need to be able to receive calls from standard phones?
To replace a landline you can just use a service like Vonage Home for about $10/month. If you want to setup your own PBX (phone system) for calling your own managed set of devices, then you need more. In any case, you always need a SIP service if you want to make and receive calls with regular phone numbers.
