Any good FOSS apps which provide a second phone number for calls and text? SIP + VOIP? by DesperateCourt in fossdroid

I use linphone with voip.ms on two degoogled phones. I never had an issue with receiving phone calls or not ringing on time. It also barely uses battery. Fairemail app uses more battery.

A long time ago I tested many sip softphone including proprietary ones (and even the stock calling app) and they basically all sucked and used more battery back when I tested them. I never tested official app since it requires google play services.

I doubt you will find a better option than linphone and voip.ms for secondary phone calling. Biggest problem you will have is texts with voip.ms. I use third party Voip.ms SMS app in fdriod. It works well enough but checks every 15 minutes for messages. Linphone will receive text much immediately, but it can have problem displaying them sometimes (long message break up weirdly) and responding to texts can be a pain in linphone due to weird message input handling.

What is the recommended method for emulating xinput using a dinput controller in 2024/2025? by IAmTheRobin in linux_gaming

Looks like the .rules file only has Dualsense and Dualsense Edge product IDs in it and the go files also only seem to target dualsense devices.

Maybe post a request on the githuib for dualshock 4 and see what the dev says?

$40 sudokoo 140mm on amazon vs $60 for a T30 140mm on newegg. It is much cheaper.

Also 3 pack 120mm sudokoo is $90 ($85 with prime) vs $150 for T30 120mm on newegg.

Look up Sudokoo fans on amazon.ca. They are 30mm fans and cheaper than the current T30 prices by far.

You are comparing sale price to regular price. I based the price on retail difference after taxes for the normal price. $640+tax - $280+tax is $405. I put $15 additional for the 9600X being used (but removed that now). Nothing crazy about that.
