Comment on What do you use for alerting?
skankhunt42@lemmy.ca 6 days ago This is a neat idea. Thanks.
I host a matrix chat server with signal bridge and hit the matrix API to send messages. Basically the same thing but more hops. I might set that up too.

I’m using matrix directly for server notifications. I didn’t realize it could integrate with signal. What’s the use case there, either for server notifications or in general?
That’s quite a question… I have 2 phones with different numbers.
My main phone with the number I give everyone to text/call me lives at home plugged in 100% of the time. SMS/MMS are bridged into self hosted Matrix. Signal, WhatsApp are also installed and bridged into matrix. Calls are forwared to a 3rd number with VoIP.ms.
The phone I keep on me has data only. I can still call and send SMS from the 2nd number but it’s expensive. I use a matrix chat app to send SMS/MMS/Signal/WhatsApp messages. I use a VoIP app for calls.
I have signal on my data only phone as a just in case to message/call my wife if things are down. I also thought I’d be a good idea to put notifications in signal as that’s my backup chat app.
