Also, your home PBX will work from overseas. Something a lot of cell services will not do, or will not do for free.

oh did not think of that. just need stable connection and bring your phone with you ?

Yup, I use Linphone on both my cell phone and my laptop, so don't need any hardware. Unless I'm setting up an office, then I'll get a desk phone, but that's rare. Works great.

thanks i will check that out

Or use a softphone on your computer, or use the console to the PBX

@scottalanmiller said in The Basics of VoIP SAMIT Video:

I do some of those things. Like my dad in NY has an extension on our PBX, so my kids can call my dad anytime and the calls are totally internal and free. He still has to pay for land line calls and has essentially no cell service at his home. And only one of my kids owns a cell phone, so the other can still make calls.

those are some really cool things and very attractive. I have only setup basic stuff so far but need to experiment more.

Really enjoyed this video session. I understand there are many business advantages but out of curiosity are there any cool things you can do at home with voip that are unusual and you can't do with cell service?

i still don;t understand subnetting the way I should. At least I know it though.

It's $25 a month 8-Core Intel / 16GB RAM / 2TB SATA / 100 mbit unmetered internet / 1 public IPv4.

That's not too bad. Of course, I'd argue that it would be way cheaper to get four people together, and get a "real" server in colocation and split it. Each of you getting way more than this.

Cheaper? Yes. Easier? Nah. I don't want 3 other people mad at me when reboot the host randomly.

It really isn't bad, and as far as I can tell, they've had amazing reliability at the facility.

I bet that they are using something like SM Blades.

Youtube Video

It's actually pretty cool.

that is pretty cool. does the technician at the end really need a hard hat?

i got Netflix, Amazon, and Crunchyroll. Ill never be done

@dbeato said in Pfsense:

Amazon is a pretty good place to buy it specially if you have prime. You will get products much faster than any Ubiquiti reseller.

@reid-cooper said in Pfsense:

Nearly everyone has Prime these days, and lots of people in big cities can get devices delivered in a few hours. Big selling point should you need a replacement.

I do have prime and its for home so will probably make sense to use Amazon

Where is a good place to get Ubiquity products, Baltic?

I've heard several people say that they like Baltic.

Ok cool, thanks!

But you have shipping charges with them as they are a normal reseller.

But for clients with terms, it is a much better solution than dealing with Amazon and credit cards. Pricing after shipping is typically very similar to Amazon.

Ok got it, thanks sir. Its for myself but will compare them and Amazon. For any clients I can see the advantage of what your saying.

brought home spicy beef soup from the vietnamese place

That is really cool

@reid-cooper said in Getting Your SO Into Video Gaming:

Since @Dashrender and @scottalanmiller were discussing this in the YouTube TV thread, and I didn't want to hijack that...

How have you tried to get your SO into video gaming? Some games or activities are obviously more likely to be effective than others. What have you tried, what has worked, who video games with their SO, etc.?

No luck at all here

2.) Shows we watch on FX, AMC, NBC etc (Walking Dead, The Voice, Modern Family, Mr Robot (theres at least 20)

I only have Netflix and Amazon and I have the Walking Dead, Modern Family, etc. Definitely not The Voice, thank goodness, no idea about Mr Robot. Network shows that are good enough for Netflix to want, they get. Just because it's also on a network doesn't mean you won't get it some other way.

Sure months later.

And? That was my point, who cares? There is no one to discuss it with, and once you don't start when it first releases the impact is literally zero. There is no real world negative here.

I think If I stopped watching TV according to a network schedule, I'd probably stop watching most TV in general. Not sure I am ready to go that route.
yeah it's a me thing.

All bonus for me. That's how I know it is that bad, I wouldn't watch it if I had to select it.

yeah, well in that regards... I'd be happy to watch history channel, etc more than I do, but my wife hates those shows... and since I already mentioned that she wants to be in the same room as much as humanly possible.. we watch something that is tolerable by both of us.

Man, I'm glad my gf knows to watch the shows I won't like when we're not together. We have lots of shows we both like, so plenty of stuff to watch together. She has kinda warped my Netflix cue though...

You can set up different profiles on Netflix to keep that from happening. We have all four of us in the house with our own profiles. Works great.

I did that but everyone keeps using my profile. I come home and my suggestions are little baby time, puppy dog pals, chuggington, and a thousand shows liek them

Make one that isn't you and isnt' the default.

thanks I will try that

And training your users, I didn't see that mentioned. That might be the biggest thing.

Good points and your probably right on the training

And beatings, user beatings are often necessary as well.

lol I will remember that but then some of the ladies might not bring me home made tamales and chocolate chip cookies...

Or maybe they will bring more!

Excellent point!
