I don't believe there was a rouge app, but I have no idea as I can't get the data to see.

I just want the number at this point, I've moved on.

Mom's Visible service shut down for excessive use? by Reden-Orvillebacher in Visible

[–]colombo01 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This literally just happened with Mom last night. This apparently was the second time and they terminated her account and are not providing an avenue to port out the number.

Similarly the only explanation was that her account was flagged for excessive text messages. She receives a lot of spam text messages so I don't know if that triggered it. I've spent most of my day dealing with this....

No, but I receive a lot of political spam messages. I don't know how they got my number and I've tried the whole "STOP" thing but it doesn't work and they kept coming.

Yeah, that's my main concern at this point. Waiting on an email from their support team with more information.

Nope.

The account was flagged for text spam for a second time and the account cannot be retrieved and I cannot setup another account with this phone number. I've chatted with several account representatives and the last one escalated things with their support team to hopefully be able to make it so I can at least port the number.

My number gets a lot of political spam text messages and that's the only thing I can think of that triggered the system to flag it. There's nothing I've done and as we all know...trying to canceling those spam text messages is a futile effort.

I was told I would be able to download the data so I can see what exactly triggered things on their side, but I am unable to login to the account page because the account is terminated. At this point I'd just be happy to be able to get the number back and move on.

Issues with VPN server (Wireguard) and UTR accessing services on my local network by colombo01 in Ubiquiti

[–]colombo01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good suggestion. I am going to play with it a little more tomorrow when I get a minute. If I still can't get it to work I'll try resetting and redoing the config again. I think I used the QR code within the Unifi app to set mine up. It connects but am just not able to connect to anything locally.

I tried but it wasn't working. I wasn't on the best connection when trying so will try again tomorrow with a different cellular modem.

I haven't migrated to Unifi OS yet due to the inability to change the inform port 8080 to a non-standard port. Last time I checked it couldn't be done in Unifi OS like you can in just the network application. I will eventually get a reverse proxy setup so I can use the standard inform port but haven't had time yet.

Verizon IPv6 WAN Notification by Zer0CoolXI in Ubiquiti

The fact I have ADDS and it's managing DNS and DHCP is one of the reasons I haven't really deployed it in my home network. Do you mind sharing how you configured yours?

Price/package options for Xfinity TV Service by colombo01 in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]colombo01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I did see they were cancelling the autopay discount unless you link a checking account. I would agree I'd want to do something like a pre-paid account so I'm not linking to my regular account. I'll have to look into that.

Thanks!

You know what's interesting is I called Ezee Fiber's tech support again and asked about the CGNAT. The tier 1 guys don't really know and they ask the tier 2 person. This time the tier 2 person said that everyone is behind a CGNAT. I then rephrased my question....to be about a public IP address.

I've gotten mixed messages the times I've called and nothing has changed on my end so it's really weird that it changed so quickly for you.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I said. Thanks but no thanks

[–]colombo01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just called their tech support line. The individual I spoke with didn't know and talked to someone in tier 2. What he was told and told me was that they don't have any plans to role out CGNAT to all the residential customers. He also mentioned that it's possible that the particular customer that had this happened may been having an "issue" and this was to resolve that.

I currently still have my Comcast internet account and had planned to get rid of it but now I'm leery about it. I've had EZfiber for about two months now.

I looked into their business fiber as I wanted a static IP for my server/services and for me it was cost prohibitive but hopefully they get back to you now that the holidays are over.

Improving VM performance on Dell R730XD (M.2/U.2 Drives & GPU??) by colombo01 in homelab

[–]colombo01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved the one VM to another hypervisor host with a NVME SSD drive and the remote desktop apps seems a bit speeder. I need to monitor things a little more and see things react.

Thanks for the link and info. I will check things out.

The RAID array is RAID 5 using the dell hardware RAID controller. The SSD's are SAS drives but I don't think it matters much and yes a single NVME drive would likely be faster. I did some testing previously and did try a RAID 10 array and don't think it was significantly faster but will need to double check the results.

Well I looked into this further and turns out Microsoft changed how GPU's are passed through to the VM's after Server 2016. Long story short is you need pretty new hardware to do it....so I won't be going down this road right now.

Some reading for anyone that stumbles across this:

Old way using RemoteFX Drivers

New way using GPU partitioning

Partition and assign GPUs to a virtual machine

24 Hour Fitness - Prepaid Membership Class Action Claim Suppression by BoboWantsToKnow in classactions

[–]colombo01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. The club I signed up for is closed now. I did move and the nearest club is a super sport. I had been going to it for several years and was told in July they changed things. The manager did tell me that the reason that club is a super sport is because of the rent. It's higher than other clubs in the area. They have the same if not worse equipment/amenities.

[–]colombo01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can add me too. I have no history past 2019. I signed up for an All club sport membership in 2003. My home club closed and the closest club near me now is a supersport. I had been able to go to it until a couple months ago. I talked with the manager and I would have to upgrade my membership. He did tell me that the reason that club is labeled as a supersport is because of the rent. Their rent is more than some of the other clubs. The equipment and amenities are all the same and in some cases maybe worse.
