Quick post today, readers may remember that in the last post that the 112 test was today, so i hope you all set your alarms for this post!

imsd emergency calling works! end to end tested on the live network!

I called 112 in the designated time slot and had full two way voice with the operator, plus NAW data, sadly the AML did not work.

The Netherlands doesn't use the text based AML my code had, ive send an email thanking them for the test and requesting information on the data based AML aswell as a possibility for a future second test when that works.

I do have to say that i can only say this works for the netherlands, i can tell the emergency path works in the modem and it took the genuine correct path, i can't guarantee it. I'm not sure what the risk is that it works here but not elsewhere but i think its right to state this.

Before doing the first test i was so nervous with my phone hovering the call button but im glad it all worked out in the end, the operators were really kind too.

On the slight chance that any 112 operators happen to read this, Thank you very much!

LMAO

guess what just showed up in my company mailbox?

Hi,

I came across Catcrafts recently and have really enjoyed following the Fairphone 6 PostmarketOS work — the post on getting VoLTE calls with working audio was a great read, and the Epictetus quote was a perfect touch.

Mauricio here — I lead growth at Audioread. We loved Catcrafts so much that we turned it into audio, for free. Your last few articles are already narrated. Here's "imsd 112 emergency calling end to end tested successfully! (Linux phone VoLTE)" read by our best premium voice:

Oh really, "Mauricio", nice "—" you got there, wondered how these ended up in your totally hand written text because you enjoy my posts so much

we can even clone your voice, so the audio actually sounds like you reading it.

yeah no thanks.

I can't make this up, it gets even funnier.

I downloaded their sample and put it on my server.

Seems like my instance doesn't like audio, here's the link:

Sounds like Anubis is working then? :D

LOL! they didn't bother to even just proofhear the generated audio! mauricio, you can fuck right off.

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

proofhear

OK, I'm officially too old for this shit.

[–] vogi@piefed.social 29 points 1 month ago

lol. Don't skip to the timestamp though! The build up made it funnier imo

I actually use the m-dash, when on my desktop. When using KDE it's "alt gr + -" in the German keyboard layout.

[–] MaskedNybbles@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Took a look and the layout seems to have hyphen and en dash—default—for Alt Gr + - and Alt Gr + Shift + -, respectively, on both my regular layout and the German layout on my machine (added the German layout just to check). I wound up using the compose sequence of three dashes, but would prefer something with fewer strokes (and may do something about it—maybe).

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Same. But what's Gr? I use Ctrl shift u + 2014

Cool, thanks!

an Alt Gr key to access a third level of key assignments.

I dunno, this sounded so badass. "Wir müssen tiefer gehen!"

Oh it’s nice you’re getting some recognition from what seems to be OH HELL NO
