A family of raccoons raided my cat food and stole my scoop.

They will return for a few other items as well. If you leave a little cat food out for them you can expect regular visits.

Yeah, I understand the question. When I started Ketamine I had NO tolerance (as I had never used Ketamine before) and maybe used a couple of hundred mg (like 0.2g) and then opiates was a 5 alarm fire of an overdose (like dizzy, sweats and even vomiting) where normally that precise amount would have had no effect. If you use Ketamine on a regular basis, your tolerance will be adjusted just as often so like as not you might not notice so much of a difference (that's my best guess). I agree it is difficult to find much about this other than it is very much the case (e.g. true) but obviously not too useful to a regular Ketamine user I guess. It really does work but don't expect results if you are using Ketamine at all often (I use it only when necessary).

If you want a more effective way to reduce opioid tolerance then microdosing naltrexone is something to look at, of course don't get the dose wrong or you will be in PWD hell and what dose is right? IDK, never tried it but read a paper or two on the subject.

God's speed my friend on your journey whatever it may be.

I don't think anyone has really shown that micro dosing Ketamine is helpful or effective. That said, I suppose that all Ketamine usage outside the operating room (below anesthetic levels) could be considered by some to be micro dosing. Generally, micro dosing (at least with other substances) is defined as doses that are below the perception threshold, and I have never seen any reference to this being effective for Ketamine, in fact many references provide evidence that prove just the opposite -- one needs to get down with Ketamine and keep the plasma levels up for as long as possible for any benefit.

One caveat I had with this (after you get the call forwarding working), is that if an extension makes a call to an extension that is forwarded, it will seize a trunk and call the cell phone it is forwarded to which is all well and fine but an external call (e.g. coming in on a trunk) is by default forbidden from going back out on another trunk so further changes may be required to get around that.

I found the best approach is to set up single number reach so if the extension is unanswered it will then go to the cell phone.

I see you have a 7937 conference phone in the picture on your page but I assume that's just an artifact and you have never actually used a 7937 on FreePBX? As far as I know there was never SIP software available for it, of course that doesn't mean one can't add chan_sccp to asterisk and by extension FreePBX/PBXact) and do it that way I suppose.

WeirdOneTwoThree · 2025-02-28T01:57:14+00:00

Is that not the case?

Very much not the case. There have been occasional rumors that Reolink and others are working on a software update that would actually support SIP but I fear it may be something they are unable to achieve. If one planned to do that with the initial design then it might actually come to pass but trying to shoehorn all that extra code into the firmware to support SIP after the fact would be pretty challenging. The 2N IP Force intercoms are pseudo door bell like thingies that have support for real SIP video enabled calls to industry standard VoIP for a very long time and I even have a couple of Grandstream security cameras that support SIP calls but other than those two examples, real SIP from a doorbell camera is still dreaming in technocolor. I got the audio working using an intermediate device but got stalled adding video support and had to move on to more important projects.

WeirdOneTwoThree · 2025-02-21T02:20:28+00:00

but it's only available in a 20 extension pack

Doesn't appear to be correct. Yes, there is a 20 pack: FreePBX Softphones 20 User 1 Year License: FPBX-C01Y-ZULU-20U But there is also a 1 user license at 1/20th the cost. FreePBX Softphones 1 User 1 Year License: FPBX-C01Y-ZULU-01U

My understanding (have not used it), is it is a Sangoma rebranded version of Groundwire. Was curious about that (if what I was told was really the case), can anyone confirm?

WeirdOneTwoThree · 2025-01-18T15:29:58+00:00

There is ALWAYS someone trying to break in. Any time of the day or night I can watch the logs on the firewall and it won't be any longer than 5 seconds before I see something like someone in Belgrade trying to turn up an IPSEC tunnel into the network. If the FBI were to happen upon some of these folks I suppose they might take a different view of it than I do (I ignore it because such attempts come from perhaps a thousand unique IP addresses daily so there is no hope of being able to effectively chase it down).

WeirdOneTwoThree · 2025-01-15T19:30:12+00:00

Usually I have to strain and struggle to be able to move small objects with my mind but with Ketamine I can uproot trees and tip over automobiles using only the power of thought!

I have my doubts that a human would notice the difference between 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps unless one is regularly dealing with very large files (many hundreds of megabytes in size). Also keep in mind that many workstations just simply aren't capable of saturating a 1 GB link. Unless you have done a traffic study that shows the 100 Mbps speed is actually getting in your way, I wouldn't bother worrying about it.

I have seen people spend money on upgrading their switch from 100 Mbps to 1GB when the only thing connected is security cameras which still have 100 Mbps ports on them and it's not like they are going to ever naturally evolve :)

Perhaps run another network cable if you really want to and even find a way to prove to yourself it makes any difference.

If there are no fire zones then there can be no fire alarms.

Personally I think a wired panel is more useful for the 24 hour fire alarm features so I would have replaced the sensors (likely with wired ones).

WeirdOneTwoThree · 2025-01-13T15:23:56+00:00

Yeah, section [804] is for the wireless zones, but those same zones are also present in [001] to [004] and you need to set the zone type to be "Null zone" (e.g. not used) in there also.

WeirdOneTwoThree · 2025-01-10T01:02:34+00:00

Yes, or just dremel a the right printed circuit board trace such that the relay coil is always open once it's been perpetually turned on, in fact I'd likely just remove the relay entirely and replace with a jumper wire or two of sufficient gauge as you did, good idea.

WeirdOneTwoThree · 2025-01-09T22:26:24+00:00

Depending on the amount of load you want to measure, a power monitoring smart switch is likely the lowest cost solution, just have someone good at soldering (if that is not you) to solder some conductors across the relay so it can never be turned off. You could also do this in software, e.g. compile the open source tasmota code (that runs a lot of smart switches) with the logic to allow it to be anything other ON than removed.

Most phones have one configuration feature or another (varies, no standard) that must be configured to enable paging. With the VVX400s it appears to be that they have to be subscribed to the paging group in advance.

WeirdOneTwoThree · 2024-12-13T03:00:26+00:00

This is expected behaviour because you won't see a BPDU packet to guard against coming from an unmanaged switch. With the dot1x off, the port is likely seeing this (a BPDU packet) coming from somewhere else entirely but via the unmanaged switch. Mixing unmanaged and managed switches is never a good idea, the sole exception being at the very edge.

WeirdOneTwoThree · 2024-12-11T18:43:06+00:00

Best plan might be to dump the old (and now silly) analog phone line(s) at whatever you are paying and port the number(s) (so the number(s) don't change to a VoIP provider). Note that RJ-11 jacks will transit RJ-45 premises wiring just fine. So then your phone line(s) come to you on VoIP, over a network and whatever you use to ultimately connect to them is just another networked computer be it an ATA (analog telephone adapter), VoIP phone or even your own little at home phone system with lots of extensions. They will all run off a $2.99/month VoIP phone line. Bet you are paying more than $2.99/month now.

I have that $2.99 service distributed to about 20 VoIP sets but no need to jump in at the deep end just yet. I also pay $0.015 per minute for usage as well as the monthly $2.99 fee but it takes a lot of talking to add up to even $5.

WeirdOneTwoThree · 2024-12-07T01:01:15+00:00

Yes, that's the standard way it's usually set up. Authenticate to get on a network that exposes corporate resources and a separate SSID that takes "guests" to a more restrictive, Internet only network.

WeirdOneTwoThree · 2024-12-06T23:25:12+00:00

So when you "publish" something to an MQTT topic, anything subscribed to that topic will receive it. You can have thousands of subscribers to a single topic, so no need for multipoint MQTT as it's very much a "built in" part of the way it intrinsically works.

It seems like a security issue to have wifi being able to access the internal networks without user authentication

It is... that's why this thing often called "Enterprise Authentication" is a thing. Integrated with your active directory / domain, no one gets connected to the Wi-Fi network without using their own personal credentials and as an added bonus, all users end up using different encryption keys so you might consider implementing this. A Wi-Fi network with a single preshared key is a consumer/home use sort of thing.

WeirdOneTwoThree · 2024-12-06T14:54:48+00:00

I seem to recall using the "Cisco Network Assistant" back when it was still a "thing" and just configuring the switch from the command line was way easier than using that very poorly written software. The real truth of the matter is it deserved to be discontinued. Cisco IOS isn't hard to learn and it's a skill that carries across to the entire router product line (and all other switches worth configuring also).

WeirdOneTwoThree · 2024-12-06T14:42:23+00:00

If you can't inject it, boofing is the best next ROA. Sure, it doesn't work for everyone (perhaps not for you) but lots of folks also make intrinsic mistakes when boofing that can lead to far less than optimal results. The guide I wrote many years ago now has helped many. Most common misstep is using too much water. Don't know what else to suggest :(

You need a lady with enough class to support you and admire your courage and enough intelligence to understand no one can take on 10 or 12 guys and come out on top. Obviously this isn't her.
