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.

@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

@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.

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There is a current issue with the SSL let's encrypt that I just submitted to them to resolve (they are using an outdated version with Acme 1 instead of the newer Acme 2):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

Correct - you should be using PJsip. Also as far as changing extensions, you can run into the same issue even if you use the same extension number but you change the channel driver from SIP to PJSIP. This is how I've accomplished the task for remote phones that you can't touch. From your EPM, issue a reboot. Then real quick, you change the extension to use PJSIP, go to EPM, and then do a rebuild. If you do it properly, the phone will then grab the new settings and reconfigure itself and work just fine. You can of course do the same thing if you are changing the extension number on it.

Re: Password Managers

What are people using for password managers now days? Personal and for Business / Clients.

@jasgot Let me know what you come up with ... I was just reviewing something similar. I was thinking if the wholesale cost of the phone is like $120 and retail is like $180 ... then to charge $10 / month for phones gives you a cost payback in 1 year, and normal profit at 18 months. I'd think if the contract period is 3 years, then you're for sure in the money and you really hope they keep them for 6 years. We do all inclusive pricing on phone setups meaning we roll in setup, management of the call flow, etc. all in there. So charge whatever you do per extension in that contract with the option of the phones as well. Depends on your business model whether they are a profit center or not. If not, then charge enough to make it worth your while, otherwise, let them get them and worry about warranty on them.

@jaredbusch Thanks Jared, just a brain fart on my end. Works as desired.

@jaredbusch Issue is inbound. Shit - let me try my PJSIP port. I was going on my prior config that is working with Skyetel that is using the SIP port 5060 for PJSIP and works flawlessly.

Does someone have PJSIP trunk working properly for BulkVS ?

I'm receiving:

You're OK with buying renewed drives for your NAS ?

I've gotten calls when I'm with my daughter from them or when my bank account is compromised or the IRS or .... If we've got nothing better to do, I just answer the call on bluetooth and see how long they can entertain us for. I'm like you going to waste my time ... now I'm going to waste yours.
