@bigbear That's the only size I've ever seen on there. I think the $120 is before the promo pricing.

Or Bangladesh Meteorological Department... one of the two I'm sure

PiHole really is great, definitely worth the $2.50/$5 a month.

@wrx7m said in Uses for VPS:

I got one a few months ago after checking several times a day, for months.

This is how I got mine too, although it only took me like a week. I signed up for the notifications multiple times and never once got an email from them.

@bbigford They have a "Storage Instance" tab that is always sold out, I was lucky enough to grab one like 6 months ago. They've been sold out every time I've logged in since then.

@bbigford said in Uses for VPS:

How much space are you using with NextCloud? What kinds of content are you storing out there? Can't imagine you're streaming from it...

We have a 500GB storage instance on Vultr for $20 a month. We primarily use it for sharing CAD drawings with customers.

Ubnt UNMS, Pihole DNS, WordPress, Dokuwiki, Nextcloud... and probably many more systems/apps.

Maybe you should make an ISO if they're not encrypted or protected? This will certainly keep the titles and menus intact.

I've been using MakeMKV for quite some time and it's pretty straightforward. Definitely recommend.

@scottalanmiller said in US Senate Questions Apple About Intentional Slowdown of iPhones:

A free market depends on things like this being blocked. The senate is spot on to be looking into this. It is a serious crime to use software updates to intentionally cripple products that people have bought. The market doesn't have the power to fix this, this is why we have consumer protection laws.
If the government didn't look into this, THEN it would be picking and choosing.

I guess I didn't think of it like that. Probably because I don't see this as a malicious update, I view it as something similar to Intel's "Turbo Boost Technology." The current state of the device determines the processing power. Granted Intel markets this as a feature and is configurable in the bios, so quite a bit different in that regard.

This is absolute insanity... The way this government picks and chooses who to question and regulate is complete insanity. Let the market do it's thing, if people are that upset with Apple they'll stop buying their products. Simple as that.

TLDR: ISPs will be bashing each other and using NN to justify charging you more for less...

Yesterday I called WOW cable to renegotiate my internet service as my contract promotional period had expired. Comcast was offering 100/15 for $44.99, I was currently paying $55 for 30/5. After getting past the initial sales person, I'm on with retention... I explain to them what Comcast was offering, so she repeats some garbage offer which still isn't even close to Comcast. So when I repeat that it's not even close, she brings up NN and reassures me how serious WOW is about an unregulated internet and how terrible Comcast will be, and that WOW's 60Mbps service would likely be better than Comcast's 100Mbps service because we all know they'll be throttling everything they can. I ended up with 100Mbps from them for $39.99/month.

Any of you on fiber? I got 4.4, too, on cable.

I guess since 13 is the LTS and still the default option on the installer I'll go with that

@JaredBusch Do you recommend sticking with Asterisk 13 on the new install or should I go with 15?

@jaredbusch said in FreePBX Parking and Web Interface not working:

I would export things since you are on FreePBX 14 and are going to FreePBX 14. You have this power now.

Ah yes, didn’t even think about this. Good call!

@jaredbusch This was a clean install of 14, I used the convert script (sometime in July, 2017) to migrate extensions, and the like, over from Elastix to 14. Since migrating from Elastix to 14, everything has been great until fairly recently, I don't know if some updates broke something, something in the OS was corrupted some how? I don't know.

Do you think it would be beneficial to spin up a new instance of 14 and migrate everything over again?

Pretty much this... over and over

It looks like it may have been permission issues? Do you guys know if amportal was ever used in FPBX14, or has it always been fwconsole?

I haven't had any issues, even after multiple reboots, since running 'systemctl start mariadb', but I also ran 'fwconsole chown' during that same session, so maybe that is what cured these issues? I'm not sure, but I will keep digging.
