As long as he keeps saying he’s a free speech absolutist, we have to believe him… Right?

Against some better judgement, I did direct burial. I did consider walkie talkies, but heard doesn’t work well in a metal barn (I confirmed I basically have zero cell reception). I could look at adding the antenna though, thats not a bad idea.

I appreciate the info and the offer! I won’t be messing with the Ethernet since that’s used for networking. I was mainly looking to hook up an IP phone or something easy, but assumed I couldn’t just connect that to my network and needed something so the two phones would tie together.

That’s fair, and yeah in hindsight would have been great, though tough to retrofit. Maybe I’ll look into running another line for something like that. Thanks!

Well in my scenario, both locations would be fixed, so I’m not really concerned about finding locations.

Oh I’m sure I’m overcomplicating it. We had some landline phones growing up that could also ping and “intercom” but those were all connected to phone jacks with an active phone service, ao I figured I couldn’t really do that. How is some like the one you mentioned wired? How does it talk to the the other one? Forgive my ignorance.

And to note, I definitely do not need high quality, just something local that is functional.

I could I guess? What would that look like? Just mic and speakers wired over Ethernet and just always on but with a hardware switch or something? Or connected to something like a Raspberry pi running some software to talk with the other pi?

That looks pretty good. Looks like a lot of information to parse through, reading up now, thanks!

I’m not sure, but it does have its own algorithm for swipe and things like that, with it’s own library from what I understand

Bloated in what way?

A few months after that they’ll release YouTube quix or something. Up to 45 second videos! Then extend shorts to 6 min, quix to 2.5 min, then add YouTube micros! Videos up to 25 seconds! Brilliant!

Let’s keep our fingers crossed that ladybird doesn’t die before it’s released. I really want a properly FOSS browser

Thanks, and good to know! I’m honestly waiting for the spring to build some boxes (that I should just build this fall). I should just prep the area and get started now :/

I’m way behind on starting my gardening journey, but I plan on starting in the spring myself, and I’ll give this a shot too

Reading through the main page for it, it seems more like a smart journal. You’d enter your crops, and enter info about water/treatment information, and it’ll send notifications as reminders to do tasks, but it doesn’t determine water and care schedules for you, that’s something the user sets up (from what I understand at least).
