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.

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

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There is a current issue with the SSL let's encrypt that I just submitted to them to resolve (they are using an outdated version with Acme 1 instead of the newer Acme 2):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

@Pete-S look up youtube videos by Lawrence Systems. I think he does a great job of explaining things and is where I turned to when I first started using them.

@JaredBusch I've used 960 with remote mics - works well.

@nashbrydges If they're done with it ... wish they'd release their NVR as open source and let others use and update it.

@brandon220 That is absolutely outrageous. That is my main business - we do hosted VoIP solutions and handle everything from the phone lines to to the management at a set monthly rate. Guaranteed we're about 90% cheaper than that - probably 95%, anyhow not trying to push our service but its an option if you want to set and forget it. Meanwhile ... For sure that sounds like a no brainer operation for a hosted solution with FreePBX. Different locations, doesn't matter, routing phone numbers wherever you want, works great. Want to add softphones with groundwire - that works too. I've heard AT&T wants to get out of some of that, and just WOW. I laugh my ass off when they charge $100 / line, but this brings it to a whole new level.

FWIW - Hate SonicWall (I think most people don't know how to configure them properly) - and Hate SIP ALG - most routers don't implement it properly and it does nothing but fuck things up.

@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 Vultr reached out to me in an Email:

"I’ll keep this short and sweet. First, I just want to thank you for being a Vultr customer. We really appreciate your business.

My name is , and I am a Solution Architect at Vultr. We know that, like many of our customers, you are probably using both Vultr and another cloud (or multiple clouds). We recently launched a competitive discount program for our current clients and I’d love to offer you further incentives to bring more of your cloud workloads over to Vultr (and hopefully save you more money).

Whether your workloads are growing exponentially or you’re looking to lower your overall cloud expenses, I’d love to learn about your current architecture and provide some expert guidance."

Just assumed you do a lot of biz with them too and that they probalby reached out to you as well and was wondering if it was a BS sales call or worth the chat.

@jaredbusch Did they offer you a "cloud consultation" - if so, was it worthwhile?

@jaredbusch What do you mean by "setup right" ?

@jaredbusch What if they get some new IP's to route their web stuff through those? Obviously they could get attacked as well, but perhaps it would take whoever is attacking some time or they'd lose some interest.

@notverypunny
I'm curious on this as well. We have used MC successfully and now want to add TacticalRMM ... what is the advantages of having them seperate versus being on the same box? Don't like the idea of redoing all the existing MC clients, but if it makes things better, fine.
