• Server: Asterisk
• Softphone: Sipnetic
• VoIP Trunk: Callcentric
• TURN Server: CoTURN
• Infra: Hybrid Cloud / OnPrem

Asterisk was setup with local, 4 digit extensions. My DIDs from the trunk provider came into the SIP registration endpoint, and the admin panel with the provider allowed setting up virtual numbers. Each DID was mapped to a virtual extension with the provider which was then used in the Asterisk dial plan so two devices could have different DIDs and default outbound numbers (e.g. simulating two completely different lines).

I had Asterisk’s TLS and RTP ports exposed to the world so I didn’t need VPN on the client devices (non-TLS SIP port wasn’t exposed). Client softphones were configured to use SRTP for media security. The exposed SIP port necessitated setting up/tuning Fail2Ban to keep spam / brute force attempts at bay.

I did get text messaging to work within Asterisk (SIP client to SIP client), but not through the VoIP trunk. The SMS/MMS endpoint from the trunk was a REST API that I could not get integrated into Asterisk. I had some minor luck getting the SMS REST API bridged into XMPP, but I couldn’t get XMPP to bridge to Asterisk in a way that worked with the SIP messaging.

I just gave up on that due to lack of time.

Guarantee it. Thought my block/ban button would get a break after the election was over, but looks like election season was just getting it warmed up.

Because too many people are frothing at the mouth for violence and don’t have enough sense to realize that very obvious/important point.

Edit: In before “well they should just sell it then!!!1!”

1. I’d imagine trade-in values for those right now are going to be pretty low.
2. Not everyone can afford to do that, especially with car prices likely to rise due to tariffs.
3. Interest rates aren’t great if they have to finance the replacement car
4. Everyone’s life situation is different. An oversimplified “just do [blank] to satisfy my illogical demands or else you’re a Nazi sympathizer and deserve to have your property vandalized” isn’t practical.
5. Don’t fuck with people’s property.

I tried that, actually. It didn’t work out for me.

Set up my own VoIP server, got a phone number registered with it, set up all the infrastructure, got the firewall to play nice, etc. It worked great for phone calls (and the voicemail and call queues were awesome), but I couldn’t get SMS/MMS integrated into the VoIP server let alone any of the softphone clients. Most of my friends/family use SMS/MMS rather than [insert app here] so I was never able to drop the SIM card, so to speak.

May try again at some point, but as of 2020, I just couldn’t make it work.

It’s fantastic. Haven’t seen it since the original run. Like most of my media collection, found the DVD box set at a yard sale years ago for like $2 and am finally sitting down to watch it.

I’ve already removed it, so I assume the next Patch Tuesday is going to force re-install it. Sigh.

Probably civil service or non-profit.

I swore I would never work for a large corp ever again after I went non-profit. The culture is totally different and not soul crushing.

Excellent. I just use the CLI executable directly and update it as it breaks. Wasn’t even aware there were Docker versions of it lol.

Weird. I did a test download before replying, and it worked. Though I’m just using vanilla yt-dlp and am unfamiliar with the other two variants you listed.

Try updating. I got that a few days ago using an old version, and updating fixed it.

And I’m avoiding visiting Canada because I know I won’t want to come back.

Any Canadians feel like adopting a middle-aged American manchild?

I just patched that into 0.19.9 (or, rather, changed 64 to 1024 and recompiled) and it fixed it on my end at least.

Will do. Prob even make a post about the process.

Also, yeah, I wish Piefed existed when I originally stood up my instance. Kbin was a thing at that time, but it had its own problems.

Any idea if he’s referring to a turnkey “run a script” / “push a button” type solution that’s not (yet) available?

If all other aspects of it are technically possible, I’d be more than willing to manually muck around in the database to move things ove and take what was learned from that and hopefully make a DB migration script.

Ugh. I’ve already decided I’m not going to 1.0, so if it’s not in 0.19.10 maybe I’ll patch it in myself until I figure out a way to move my instance to Piefed.

Be that as it may, it worked fine in 0.19.3 three hours ago.

This is why I don’t “upgrade” my software unless there’s like a 9.9 CVE to worry about. Always some dumbass regression to spoil the whole thing (and not enough benefits to outweigh that).

Ugh.

That’s a lot of lead. Damn.

Were those samples from water drawn straight out of the well manually or did the test sample go through your pump/pipes? My main concern would be that the groundwater is contaminated with lead rather than the lead leeching from somewhere in the topside system.

Basically:

• It’s safe to shower in
• You may be able to filter it out
• If I was buying a house, and the water tested that heavily for lead, I’d remove it from consideration.

Simple answer: It has to do with the specific way and part that’s degrading in the SNES’s. In this case, it’s due to the way a resonator degrades which is what sets the clock speed for that chip.

Must’ve missed that post. Thanks.
