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There is a current issue with the SSL let's encrypt that I just submitted to them to resolve (they are using an outdated version with Acme 1 instead of the newer Acme 2):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

@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.

@jaredbusch Client uses it for remote access to their office while they work from home a few days a week and doesn't want someone snooping in their office while they aren't there watching what they are doing.

@pete-s I'm a big fan of Ubiquiti EdgeRouter and its got a nice set of GUI tools to actually show you traffic analysis, how much is being used and by whom. Once you see that they're not eating up their bandwidth (people always assume its slow - throw more money at it with more unused bandwidth) - then you can isolate what and why. As you said, probably some shit switches, or their PC's are so jacked up that they don't function properly. Also - I've found that people end up with a hundred chrome windows open with only 8GB of RAM and the computer can't handle it. They say their internet is slow, when in reality its their computer that can't handle the load being placed upon it.

@dustinb3403 said in Does Mesh Central support blanking remote screen:

With another product I had a customer complain because we had to jump into a server because of performance issues, and they could graph that we too access the active console of the server (all virtual). And thought it was a security risk because we could potentially see confidential data.

Of course we are the domain administrator as well so...

Then their option is to hire their own onsite personnel that handle the same tasks, won't be as qualified and cost them more money. If you don't trust your IT team ... well time to move on. I don't want any clients that don't trust us.

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.

@dashrender said in What Are You Watching Now:

why would you buy that bundle just for one show? Just by Disney+, save some bucks.

I got Apple+ for free year with T-Mobile ... Just finished off season 2 of Ted Lasso ... EXCELLENT show.

@syko24 Why would you stay with a carrier that so badly created an infrastructure that was so easily compromised? I'd think you want to stay with someone that has thought about these measures ahead of time and stays in front of the curve and not be reactionary to it after the fact. I, like Jared have spoken to the president of Skyetel and I have to tell you - they've built theirs from the ground up with these concerns and considerations in mind. They are very confident that their infrastructure is solid on this and based on the confidential talks I've had with them, I'm pretty confident as well.
