No doubt, but (as a new "convert") most places aren't really set up for a proper plant based meal around me. There are a few options, but if I go out with the family or something I'm delgated to a plate of plain veggies or a pointless salad lol. I hope at least some day that a plant based chicken is as ubiquitous as the impossible/beyond patty

That's pretty cool, I'm just hoping more plant based "chicken" options come to north America. I missed the window to try the McPlant, and it's a little annoying there's only really "beef" options.

I can see it being a new idea being greenlit, but based on what it turned out to be, I would agree lol

I had no idea it even got a second season tbh

Well that was anticlimactic, but I appreciate the information

I'm probably missing something, but what are the two bumps in December and Feb from?

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!

[–] Nednarb44@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

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?

 

I'm looking for a better, more private solution to an intercom I have between the house and my barn. I have Ethernet run out there, and I currently use the "drop-in" feature on some Amazon echo devices. I'm looking to get away from the Amazon devices entirely (maybe implementing the pine speaker they announced?)

I don't have a lot of requirements, though VoIP would be preferred over a radio style, since it's a metal barn and blocks a lot of signals. I'm good with some self hosted solution, and ideally there's a dedicated device, as I don't want to use my phone or computer for it all the time. I'm probably missing some obvious solution, but figured I'd try to get some ideas together.

Thoughts?
