Interesting - why avoid asterisk?
I looked into fusion to play with but I’ve been using asterisk casually since like the 00s with no issues.

You may have facts but there are like 10 people here saying they won’t buy a Tesla so…
Ok. Probably echo link then. In short - the repeater uses the internet as another transport. Other repeaters can link up, or you can even use their application to activate repeaters right from your computer.
You can also do similar things with other digital modes (DMR etc) but they require special radios that speak that standard.
What band mode and frequency?
I wound up with gollum. Git based with a wiki format. Works well enough for my limited use.
Parks On The Air.
Essentially a spotting/sked network for people operating out of state parks. You can “hunt” stations from home or you can “activate” a park by visiting one with your equipment, setting up and making 10 (IIRC) contacts. It’s a nice way to get out and explore some local parks!
There’s also SOTA - summits on the air, which is similar but operates from the tops of mountains.
What band are you looking to operate on? I’d say most of us got our start on repeaters so I’d say that’s the place for a simple beginner voice transmission. If you haven’t seen it yet you can use this site to help find ones near you:

Otherwise there are 2m and 70cm calling frequencies, I believe 146.52 and 446.00, but repeaters would be more populated.
https://hamstudy.org/sessions/remote is a good list. You may even be able to get same day testing.
Good luck!
Right on. I’ll keep an eye out for ya!
Congrats! If you haven’t yet, check out pota. Gives a nice little set of goals and community for outdoor operating.
And start studying for your general! The test isn’t much more difficult than Tech but the increase in privileges is night and day!
Excellent! Nice work.
I don’t know what dns rebind is but once DNS A records are pointed to the right place then it’s just a matter of setting up the rest of your stuff.
Is that expected? Otherwise check to make sure DNS settings for the domain are correct (eg ns records dig NS example.com
IIRC).
First off - you don’t explicitly say so I just want to double check - you’re not using example.com as the actually domain correct?
If not the next thing to do would be to check out what DNS is doing. You can use the dig
command to see what IP address is being returned for the domains you’re trying to hit.
dig +trace
may be useful as well.
Not angry no. Just don’t be so quick to judge a comment made off hand by a developer triaging tickets. Bolded text and jumping to conclusions that devs don’t care helps no one. Attempt to educate instead. Not everything has to be internet outrage.
And good on you for being introspective.
I apologize but I’ll be blunt - you went way over the top with your comment.
The guy is trying to triage some tickets, made a reasonable guess at policy and was greeted by a dissertation and accusations. You then double down by posting here like there’s cause for some huge alarm. I’m a fairly big privacy advocate and even I was rolling my eyes. These type of comments make working in open source not enjoyable.
Unsolicited advice - Take a deep breath, have reasonable conversations with people building and maintaining software, and don’t take every small offhanded comment as the sky falling.
When you copy /home make sure you get the “hidden” files. They start with a “.” and some programs ignore them by default. That’s also where most configuration files are.
Check out rsync -avz
I like monit. It’s simple to setup and pretty flexible.
A little bit of a different tack but check out getting into ham radio. There are a lot of kits out there that are reasonably easy to assemble and provide some good documentation on what you’re assembling.
And when you’re done you can talk to people all over the world with what you made!
No man. McDonald’s used to be cheap, fast and decent. The original burger in 1955 was 15 cents, or about $1.75 today. Don’t forget how far things have fallen lol
Ah yes that makes sense. I was taken aback by my latest install of freepbx. I feel it wasn’t as aggressive during the Digium days but it definitely left a bad taste in my mouth.
I heard good things about free switch, although it seems like a paradigm change. I’ll have to check it out.
