Also noticing Spectrum in my area is suddenly upgrading speeds to 200mb and even 400mb x 20mb for free! Just over the past week.

My dad got that UBNT Amplifi unit and the speedtest kept saying 200mb, so he thought it was wrong.

This all immediately following Net Neutrality bill? Whats the catch?

It's a Trojan horse right before they throttle all of your content. Either that or they think you're cute and are trying to butter you up.

You know, my wifi has been crashing for the past 24 hours... its all just a conspiracy to sell more UBNT #deepstate

They just want to be physically connected with you

All a plot to sell more FrontRow Cameras, sold out for months I assume, havent seen a single person wearing one yet...

EDIT: Last chance to get the prices below, free shipping etc. Order goes in Tuesday and the pricing will be gone.

There are some discounts on other Yealink and Polycom models as well if anyone is interested.

Been working with @DustinB3403 for a while on a large order. We just got some incentive pricing for end of year that is deeper than any usual discount I have ever gotten.

Limited Time Pricing

Yealink 48s = $164.50
Yealink 46s = $121.80

For my D&D Campaign, I used Google Hangouts, specifically the Hangout On Air functionality.

But Google killed it a couple years ago.

I have been limping along with YouTube Live Events, but meh, it still launches a fucking hangout on air window. WTF Google...

So I want a new solution.

Zoom would be great but the 40 minute cutoff does not work for a 4 hours D&D session.

Anyone else have a good recommendation for a free home use service that has session recording? Screenshare would be great, but I like to share my Roll20 screen so when I do go look back at a video to find something I forgot, I see the screen too.

Have you tried Jitsi Meet?

https://jitsi.org/

https://meet.jit.si/

Also can stream to Youtube. Everythings open source, download and run your own server. Has desktops clients as well.

@jaredbusch Apparently doing updates on FreePBX broke everything, and my dumbass didn't take a snapshot before installing the updates. So I'm restoring from one of the Vultr backups.

That doesn't sound like a good solution to use if you can't update without things breaking...

I think you just have to know what you are doing, dont feel bad @EddieJennings because most of my FreePBX broke from updates. I think someone thats worked with it for a while just knows what to do and what not to do.

Yeah you need @JaredBusch bush magic touch on this. Still time to through a consulting retainer on the 2017 tax year!

@eddiejennings said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Restoring vultr snapshot

Scary, shouldnt be necessary to resolve your issue. Just restart firewall and clear Fail2Ban. Unless I am not understanding. @JaredBusch would probably know better...

You might also be interested in the UMA concept, which in the USA is more commonly referred to as a General Access Network.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_Access_Network

Yeah, no. I don’t want GAN because central network still.

It is for voice/voice application access over network API's, so that you can deliver guaranteed VOIP over a carrier network.

If not carrier towers then what would you prefer?

Assuming I read it right, GAN is about the phone connecting over the internet.
So no tower involvement.

Please understand im talking about a situation I desire, not one that exist

The positive about GAN/VoLGA/UMA is that you dont just have to provide best effort over the top OTT reliability. You can provide guarantee reliability across cellular and cable carriers.
'
This obsoletes the PSTN and allows any app to use its own signaling platform, the FCC refers to it as Nomadic VOIP.

For some reason its popular in Europe and not here though.Also wideband is very common in Europe where you are only likely to experience here with Facetime calls and on-network VolTE calls. (The crystal clear audio).

It is for voice/voice application access over network API's, so that you can deliver guaranteed VOIP over a carrier network. So if I want to deliver reliable voice and E911 to a data only device, GAN (or truly VOLGA or UMA) provides me as an independent voice app provider the ability to do that.

Methinks my night's about to get interesting.

For the first time ever I'm getting E-mails from FreePBX fail2ban.

Hi,

The IP 50.xxx.xxx.33 has just been banned by Fail2Ban after
85 attempts against SIP on localhost.

Regards,

Fail2Ban

Said IP address is our local office's IP which is a trusted network in the responsive firewall.

Probably a power or internet surge causing all your phones to reregister and possibly were cut off while trying to do so...

All the E-911 stuff is their with mobile. Even in the UCC apps I have been using (in case someone dialed 911 there instead of via their own phone).

I'm not talking about cellular mobile, I'm talking pure LTE with no phone system back end (like what we have today - AT&T/Verizon/CenturyLink, etc) Instead the phone would get rid of that radio for cellular calls, and only have LTE radios, and the other non "phone" things. Now how do you provide 911 like services? i think something like an Emergency help app required by law that would connect to some type of universal system and route calls based upon the LTE tower you're connected to.

VoLTE for Telecom and VoLGA for apps has been out for years (which is very commone in the EU like Orange Wireless)

I use only volte on my prepaid.

So it is already as you say

I don't want that either - that's still totally reliant upon the strangle hold the phone companies have with the phone numbers. Plus I love the idea of decentralized communication.

We could use VOIP with something like Email or DomainName based connections, allowing PBXs to all talk direct over the internet to each other... Of course we talked about that the other day, and the issue with spam, but I have spam problems already, I don't know that it would be worse than it is today. Heck, one thing we'd be rid of is the cost of call - long distance would be dead, so having your PBX hacked resulting in huge phone bills because of the use of the LEC would be gone ( still bad to have your PBX hacked though).

That’s what the domain based alias was for the signal.org I was doing.

Open and secured voice and messaging based on DNS, using VoLGA to carry and provide reliable voice quality.

Then can the tower thing, which crushed my life saving...

Voice over LTE General Access

Very popular just about everywhere bus the US

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VoLGA_Forum

All significant bandwidth 10+ years ago was porn, no joke.

Even Napster wasn’t too big a deal because of end customer upload limits.

I have lost good contacts to this when I didnt realize that active sync didnt disable the local contacts. Assuming thats what was going on above.

My updated Outlook app keeps freezing up when I search for contacts, but I am using G Suite and Gmail in it, so maybe that makes the difference.

they didn't sync to icloud?

I don’t sync to iCloud anymore
