@aaronstuder Sounds like that might be something to do with the format that your SIP provider is sending the calls in. This support post I found might be helpful: http://community.freepbx.org/t/how-to-modifying-incoming-caller-id-number-on-incredible-pbx/32616/24

I'm curious to know how much this increases the attack surface of the Windows platform. I'm in silent celebration at the idea of being able to access my Windows servers remotely via SSH, but I wonder how tight the integration really is with BASH and if that is REALLY a good thing... I mean, how many attack vectors does an already highly targeted closed system need?

Moving my website from Wordpress on Dreamhost to Ghost on DigitalOcean...

Te-di-ous.

I do however really like the nice clean look and lack of bloat in comparison to Wordpress.

The last time I had someone travel to the country that my people are going to be working from they were unable to access their OpenVPN connection. When I researched the solution, using stunnel to obfuscate the traffic is what I found. I implemented it and it worked.

That's weird as OpenVPN already obfuscates the traffic identically. You must be using different settings for them, like using stunnel on common ports and OpenVPN on uncommon. But the two are literally identical on the wire, there is no way to identify one from the other, their obfuscation is exactly the same.

I agree, and I have found articles like this one, that seem to think they can detect patterns in the traffic that identify it as being associated with a VPN connection: http://www.vpnanswers.com/bypass-great-firewall-hide-openvpn-in-china-2015/

Password protected encrypted TiddlyWiki.

TiddlyWiki is small, works without a server, and is highly portable. Since I'm generally the only person accessing the data it is perfect for my use. If you have multiple people accessing the documents you might consider DokuWiki or Mediawiki.

LOL - so you have to obfuscate what you're obfuscating to get through great firewall eh? I thought that was illegal over there?

It's illegal to use a VPN to access legitimate services required to do business in China.

It's legal for the Chinese government to inspect your network traffic and devices, and possibly (with relatively high probability) steal hardware prototype designs and code/software off of your devices.

--edit--

I've got people traveling in a few countries over the next week or so... My primary concern is confidentiality of the data that is being sent across the wire. As soon as their systems are back home and in the office they are getting blasted and physically inspected before being released back into the wild.

Problem resolved! It was a missing route... Because of the order in which the Linux client establishes the new routes it loses it's ability to communicate with the VPN server once the connection is established. I just had to add a route telling it how to get to the OpenVPN server once the connection was established.

route add -host <vpn-server-ip> gw <gw-as-defined-by-default-route>

The last time I had someone travel to the country that my people are going to be working from they were unable to access their OpenVPN connection. When I researched the solution, using stunnel to obfuscate the traffic is what I found. I implemented it and it worked.

So just changing OpenVPN configuration to use TCP port 443 should do the same thing? From what I had previously read they still have some way of detecting and shutting down OpenVPN traffic.

The Altras have a HUGE toebox and extremely comfortable for longer runs where your feet might start to swell.

Interesting.. this is the problem I have with my latest pair of Nike's - the toe box is small.. .just walking hurts my feet. I typically wear size 12 normal - these are just small.

You should definitely give a pair of Altras a spin then, the extra room is amazing and they fit great otherwise. I like being able to "splay" my toes out when my foot strikes the ground, it feels a lot more natural than what you get from most other shoes. The Sketcher GoRuns are not joke either. I was skeptical about buying a pair until I put them on. They are so light it almost feels like they are not there. I've had them for a little over 5 months now and they are just now starting to really wear out to the point I shouldn't run anything over 2 miles in them.

wow, burning through a pair of shoes in 5 months... cra cra!

Normally I try to restrict how much I wear my running shoes for anything outside of quality time on the pavement. These were so comfortable I got into the habit of basically wearing them all the time... And for some reason I seem to be extra abusive to my shoes.

Realistically, if you run regularly for less than 30 miles a week, you should be able to make them last for somewhere in the range of 6 to 8 months. If you don't run at all, the sky's the limit!

You can't eventually ascend and evolve to your higher form if you don't have a respectable beard. I mean, what the hell!? Do they think greybeards come out of the womb that way?!

I also rock a beard but I need to trim around the edges

Yeah, I've got another month or so on this one before I take it WAY down. I'm letting it go nuts for an upcoming trail relay I'm doing in Richmond with a bunch of other running friends. It's the Ragnar Trail series and we all thought it would be appropriate to sport viking-like beards. Well... All of us but one. We're making him wear a knit beard though.

@coliver I started this one Mid-October of last year.

All of my work shoes are just worn and beaten down running shoes that aren't fit for pavement anymore. Fortunately, they are still comfortable.

Merrill Road Gloves, Sketchers GoRun 4's, and (what I'm currently wearing) Altra Torin 1.5.

The Sketchers are suprisingly durable and one of the lightest shoes I've ever owned. The Altras have a HUGE toebox and extremely comfortable for longer runs where your feet might start to swell. The Merrills and Altras are zero drop, but the Sketchers Go Run have a 4mm drop.

Also, it allows for association of articles using tags, and all entries are queriable.

I'm the only person that ever references the documents, so I use an encrypted and password protected instance of TiddlyWiki. Super easy to update, maintain, and implement and no server required. It isn't ideal for all situations, but it works really well for me.

I've currently got an OpenVPN server setup and running through an SSL tunnel created using the stunnel4 package on Ubuntu 14.04. If I'm connecting with a Windows Client everything works as expected. However, when I try to connect a Linux or Android client it appears everything works, but my clients are unable to browse the internet once connected to the server.

Any thoughts on what could be causing this? The SSL tunnel is up and operational, and I can see data traversing the connection on the serverside logs whenever my client connects.

It REALLY bothers me that this works so easily on Windows and I'm having so many problems with Linux. It's just not right...

Any thoughts/help appreciated.

Plus, I have better things to throw my productivity away on rather than wasting it on shaving...

Do you remember if you saw Ohio? It would have either been Ontario + Michigan or it would have been Ohio + Indiana.

If he can't remember that portion of the trip it was probably Ohio and Indiana... X-D

Working full time in a challenging job and doing a degree is really, really hard! Once you've finished your degree things might look a lot clearer. I'd hang on in there until then.

That's true, a big bit of stress and time will change suddenly when that happens. I did 50+ hours a week in grunt labour for basically minimum wage while going to college and it was horrible. But it also got me through debt free with zero loans, zero assistance, zero cost breaks paying totally out of pocket with a degree and a great resume as quickly as possible. So while it was a rough time period, it really paid off.

Fortunately, my wife and I are like-minded when it comes to finances. We're pretty much completely debt free and paying for the degree upfront in cash. If I couldn't afford to pay for it out of pocket I wouldn't have even considered going back.
