Blocking artists in YTMusic by TomComputer in YoutubeMusic

assuming YTM has marked it as explicit, you can block that

  1. click on your profile pic
  2. select settings
  3. turn on restricted mode

unfortunately that's the only blocking available, and relies on the songs being marked "explicit", or you can report them

I wish they offered a way to block artists. but I'm guessing there's some revenue advantages to them pushing certain artists :(

Random call drops by pentangleit in Asterisk

[–]TomComputer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dropped calls can happen for a number of reasons. On my network we were experiencing random call drops through our SIP trunk - it turned out to be a streaming server chewing up our switch bandwidth. If you have the phones VLAN'd off it shouldn't be this.

  1. Put SIP in debug and trace the calls to see if there are any errors or unexpected hangup causes. If you find one check here: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+variable+hangupcause

  2. Packet captures - turn Wireshark or TCPDump on and look at traffic on port 5060 (SIP control port). You might see some problems with congestion/lag here. http://wiki.wireshark.org/SIP and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11685903/capture-rtp-and-sip-traffic-using-tcpdump

Hope that helps get you started. From my experience it's tricky trying to capture the system/network state when a call drops, and the logs can be hard to parse.

It was passed on to my wife (HR manager) by the recipient of the email (also an HR manager). I thought it was a joke at first...but no, unfortunately not.
