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.

What are your goals here? What are you trying to accomplish?

I have six and I’m not taking any more, sorry pal!

Sales people say anything to close the deal. They don’t care.

What’s your threat model?

Identify a skill that is in demand and find a way to learn it. That’s the only secret to having an income.

It seems like you rather answer the question than ask it. Have you considered starting a blog?

How am I not following my own advice?

How about you do you and I do me?

Well I don’t know what to tell you friend. I’m as bathed in the blood as they come and this has not been my experience. Consider Proverbs 11:27

“Whoever seeks good finds favor, but evil comes to one who searches for it.”

It doesn’t matter. Unless they are keeping the apartment at an unreasonably high or low temp, then California typically recognizes a landlord’s right to require you to keep the windows closed when the AC is running.

This is not legal advice but in California, the landlord of a rooming house (which it sounds like you are in) has the right to make reasonable house rules and “keep the windows closed when the AC is on” is generally recognized as reasonable rule. Its unlikely a court would side with you on this.

Keeping the window open in a room (even with the door shut) impacts the temperature and humidity of the rest of the house. Rooms within a house are not air tight when the door is closed. In fact, the airflow in a house is designed to circulate and mix all the air from all the rooms so that the AC runs efficiently, even when the doors are closed.

I use Windows Server because that’s what I know. Though I am curious to learn other OSes when I have more time. I don’t use docker so that’s really not a problem for now.

Wait I don’t have a reverse proxy because I don’t need one. I just installed the jellyfin for windows version and then you just connect to it.

I didn’t. I don’t need remote access. We don’t watch TV outside the house.

Right on that’s great to hear

Right now its a Thinkpad T480 with 64G ram and 1tb ssd. If it turns out we use Jellyfin enough I plan to get something more powerful for it.

its kinda crazy having your own personal netflix, right?

It truly is!
