#interjobnum — Public Fediverse posts

More #interjobnum things:
Mounted the payphone on the wall.
Made a custom instruction card for it.
(still need to turn that into a template, put it up somewhere, blog it)

And finally wrapped my head around #Asterisk enough to get it running on a Raspberry Pi.
So now we can use the payphone downstairs to call the old 1980's rotary phone upstairs (and vice versa)!
And they can make and receive PSTN calls (via Twilio)!
(There's a blog post in this one. I ran into several things that I really wished someone else had run into and documented before me. Which means I need to document them, publicly.)

But more importantly, I think I understand Asterisk enough to make it do the fun #payphone things I've wanted to do - like Dial-a-song, or Dial-a-joke, or call a random other payphone, or silly smart home things, or voicemail shenanigans.
