Exactly, here in Florida they're right 50% of the time, which is why South America has it figured out. Nobody there cares if its right or wrong, but watching the weather wo-"man" is just very entertaining to watch.

@dafyre Damned lawyers trying to cover all their bases - LOL

Just grabbed 2 WD 12TB externals to shuck for Synology @ $175

Yes, was very nice on two fronts. First off - they had a plan of attack for such an incident occurring, and their plan worked out just as written up.

Secondly, and almost as important was their communication to their client base letting them know what was happening with each step along the way.

Very happy and impressed with them.

@eddiejennings I am going to be an odd person on this one, but I like the decision. There are often times I want an additional snapshot and can't because mine are maxed out. Now I can pay for an extra one and grab it. If I use more, than its my issue and I pay the cost. Completely get it.

@obsolesce I've been investing a bit in rental real-estate. I call it my triple play:

1. Hedge against inflation
2. Life insurance policy
3. Retirement plan

@JaredBusch

There is a current issue with the SSL let's encrypt that I just submitted to them to resolve (they are using an outdated version with Acme 1 instead of the newer Acme 2):

FYI - we've resolved the issue, and I can only assume anyone else that has installed Postcards should have the same issue.

The problem is indeed an issue with Let's Encrypt, and specifically:

docker: jrcs/letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion

To fix this issue, please update the docker-compose.override.yml file during builds.

Row 35 should read: image: jrcs/letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion:latest

This will insure that the current version for the let's encrypt proxy is called and eliminate the issue.

@dashrender Look at your generational wealthy families. Doesn't matter if they made their money bootlegging, oil, etc ... the generational money is from real-estate. Between interest rates being so low and the tax code made for the wealthy (which I hate), you get to depreciate your rental property. It's almost free money if you can get it. I'm a very fiscally conservative person and own my rentals free and clear, but I am thinking to get notes on them so I can multiply my investments. My formula has been to get single family homes or townhomes on the cheap - foreclosure or tax deed auctions. Then I fix them up so they're nice. Then I get to charge a higher dollar, be pickier on who my tenants are, and have fewer issues with maintenance. I don't like to do the grunt work, I'm too busy running my VoIP company, so the best thing you can have is a good rolodex. Have a couple good Plumbers, Handymen, Electricians, and A/C guy. My next goal with these ridiculously high housing prices is to refi my home, and then get a HELOC. That gives you access to cash anytime you need, so you can shop the auctions, buy a propery, fix it up, rent it out, then 6 months later get a mortgage on it and then pay back the HELOC.

My favorite property - I bought my first townhouse in 2014 for $55K - probably put 5K into it and now rent is all the way up to $1700 / month.

This sounds like a complicated answer, but so is your problem. ... What if you setup 2 tenants - Tenant 1 = client, Tenant 2 = overflow - then limit the first tenant (your client) with trunk Skyetel to the 4 trunk limit. Then on Skyetel, you setup failover Tenant1 -> Tenant2. Then Tenant 2 will grab the extra calls destined to voicemail. Then you setup a trunk betweeen those two without the 4 trunk limit, and that trunk on Tenant 1 goes immediately to voicemail.

@wrcombs That's why I have a couple power supplies for laptop. Keep one at desk at home, and the other stays in bag. If by chance I accidentally leave the charger at a client's or something, I'm not screwed.

I wonder if chatGPT would be able to help. It certainly does structure things nicely when I've asked it to create a manual for example.

@scottalanmiller What makes nachos breakfast nachos ?

I really like Synology for this. Plus you get extra little benefits like complete backups of workstations, and then you can backup your critical synology folders to any cloud platform you like including another dedicated Synology for backups.

@Pete-S That's a commercial module that relies on using their official distro. I use PIAF, and would prefer to find an OSS if available.

Has anyone done a Zoho CRM integration with an asterisk/FreePBX based system?

Has anyone here every bought Acrobits either White-Label or Full-Featured? If so, what's your experience been like? Considering it ... for a main reason can't find a decent desktop VoIP app.

@Pete-S Not sure if he even has a CRM setup. Often when clients like an aspect of a current implementation, telling them that you can't, that you must do it a different way isn't always met positively. They say - Yes I want the new better stuff, but I still need this old piece.

What is their current system that provides those reports? I've been toying with making a whole external CDR system for asterisk based systems and have contemplated what data is required. Rather like the simple graph of Call Quality with happy faces.

@JaredBusch Yeah, that sucks, but I'm holding out hope. I've actually been thinking about getting back into use pfSense on Qotom.

@JaredBusch I hope they catch back up. I see they now have the ER-x in stock that hasn't been around for a while. Hoping they get the rest of their supply chain worked out. I did buy a dozen just in case though.
