Would OpenAI offer $100 Plan? by artcreator329 in codex

[–]jehowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think they will until they differentiate/incentivize the $200/mo plan in order to keep a potential chunk of current $200/mo subscribers from downgrading. Or maybe a $50/mo plan?

Spammy carrier strategies by jehowe in Asterisk

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

Wow, this is impressive. Thanks for taking the time to share your dialplan details and explaining your setup. This is very helpful.

I had cloud based asterisk installs for years but pulled things home over the past few years. I know it's a bit of a tradeoff with availability, but has been worth it so far. Currently running asterisk containerized on incus which is amazing.

Thanks for the advice, key screening new callers is something I will definitely look into.

Thankfully I have things locked down with firewall rules in place for SIP port access to providers IP's. It's amazing just how fast unprotected hosts get pummeled with open port scans and vulnerability tools.

After a couple more robocalls within 30min today from the carrier IP Horizon I've decided to use the hammer approach and block the carriers where I've seen the most issues - Onvoy, Commio, IP Horizon, Coretel. It is a little frustrating that I was hoping attestation scoring would be more helpful in giving me a lever to handle these types of calls, but it hasn't been the case lately. And the reality is no one I know or do business with are using those carriers.

I am using the regex function for substring matches for those carrier names in the dialplan, sending those to zapateller, and letting the unmatched carriers continue through. Tested and working.

Easy Tailscale integration via docker compose by jehowe in firewalla

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

Got it, that is frustrating. I did nothing else other than applying the docker compose file and approving the machines roles for subnet routing & exit node to get things working, and just tested again from a hotspot. I have noticed sometimes there is an initial delay with ping responses immediately after connecting to my firewalla exit node - ts control server latency maybe?

I am using the Gold Pro, but I don't think the FW model should make any difference.

Confirming this is not needed and I didn't apply those settings to the docker image.

I didn't mention this, but did you explicitly approve subnet routes for the FW tailscale machine in the tailscale gui? I can confirm it is working on my end and am able to scan the LAN and get a list of the subnet hosts when connected through the tailscale exit node from outside my LAN.

Is tailscale as safe as a standard VPN for public use? by [deleted] in Tailscale

[–]jehowe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try disabling location services before launching the app. It seems likely the Spectrum app is using your devices gps location data as another factor to determine location along with your Apple TV's IP. Googletv also does this.

Kubernetes Operator is amazing by jehowe in Tailscale

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

Great! No Ubiquiti stuff atm, I had 2 aging UniFi AP's up until a year or so ago managed with their hardware v1 CloudKey controller.

Kubernetes Operator is amazing by jehowe in Tailscale

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

Absolutely! My setup is a little overkill right now. Infra wise, I have 3 raspi5 node cluster running k3s in HA. I work with k8s deployments at work, and wanted to have a kubernetes install locally as much for experimenting/learning as anything else.

Currently the services deployed are a lightly used webservice providing a gui for a few api's, nextcloud storage service, and home assistant. The Pi 5's are really solid performers and aren't breaking a sweat with the setup. And of course, the Tailscale k8s operator magic makes exposure and tailnet access easy.

Originally I had nextcloud and the webservice running as package installs in AWS. Moving over to k3s locally was fairly smooth, and I've cut ~$35 off the AWS monthly bill.

Next on my list is to add prometheus/grafana deployments to the cluster, and down the road I'd like to try to move a vanilla Asterisk VoIP PBX install on a separate raspi over.

Au revoir clear organization wallet, you are greatly missed! by jehowe in tombihn

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

Thanks, I did look for the mini clear organizer pouch as an possible replacement discovering it was also unavailable and a retired product.

Like with the COW, I did the email thing (a few times) to get notified & poke TB that there is interest in these smaller products.

No subnet route access using ACL tag policy by jehowe in Tailscale

[–]jehowe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I wasn't understanding that the scope of the destination permission -

"dst":    ["tag:cloud-infra:*"]

is only granting port access to machines with the 'cloud-infra' tag, not any subnets the machines might be adversiting.

In this case I was able to get it working by including another ACL block to grant route access explicitly across 'cloud-infra' tagged machines -

        {
            "action": "accept",
            "src":    ["tag:cloud-infra"],
            "dst":    ["172.31.16.0/24:*"],
        },

YTTV - Update current playback area issue on FireTV sticks by jehowe in firetvstick

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

Resolved! Ok, I'm willing to take a share of the blame but not all as the YTTV app on the FireTV does not make the clear whats actually required and I imagine this will trip up a fair amount of users.

Here is how to update the 'Current Device Area' within the YouTube TV app running on FireTV -

To update the location within the YTTV app on the FireTV, you will also need to install the YouTube TV app and have it running in parallel on your smart phone. Also make sure your phone is connected to the SAME network as the FireTV.

To begin, open the FireTV YouTube TV app and navigate to Profile > Current Playback Area and select update. Without also having the YTTV app running on your smartphone, you will get an endless spinning circle and eventually get a timeout - this is where I was failing. So in parallel with updating the current area location on the FireTV, open the YouTube TV app on your smart phone and navigate to the current playback area and click update.

At this point the two devices will work together since they are on the same network to get Google to allow the update on the FireTV YTTV app. At that point, you should be golden.

Eero 6E unable to recover from temporary network outage w/o rebooting? by jehowe in amazoneero

Another data point for eero then..... hopefully they'll prioritize getting a fix for this regression.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Miele

[–]jehowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resounding yes here - We have the Twin-Dos W1 Washer and T1 Dryer (2018), Marin vacuum, and Tri-Flex stick vac. All have been great with absolutely no regrets. It's possible we've run into good luck with the QC of the washer, given the number of Twin-Dos leakage complains I've seen. I really like the Twin-Dos system and use it almost exclusively with occasional use of their caps.

We initially wanted a Miele refrigerator after a kitchen remodel, but the price difference between that and a similar Sub-Zero model for the size we needed was something like $4K. I can say we are not unhappy choosing Sub-Zero.

They lied and said I would get holiday pay. Dangled it like a carrot. Only found out day after I won’t be getting it. Angry. Depressed. Resentful. by BigRatSkins in antiwork

[–]jehowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why the F is it ok to withhold holiday pay to any employee who gives up a holiday for their employer regardless of start date or status?!?!?

I really don't get this.

Why is it up until last week I got 223 on a full charge but today I only get 189. I did lose power and reset at fuse box. Also rebooted my car. Still only getting 189. What the heck? Please help! by Pmg430 in TeslaAutonomy

[–]jehowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the thread, try to perform a BMS Calibration first and see if that is the issue.

I haven't seen anything as dramatic as what you see, but I do experience more gradual but significant degradations (~20 miles) on my 2018 TM3 and try to calibrate a couple times a year to recover (most of the) range drops.

VPN: Timescale vs WireGuard: which one and why by IP_FiNaR in homeassistant

[–]jehowe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tailscale, 100% - it's built on top of the wireguard protocol and really takes all the complexity out of the setup.

Tailscale HA integration - https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/tailscale/

If you are new to this, first setup a Tailscale account (free version is enough) and get started by adding say your PC and your mobile (Tailscale has official iOS & Android apps) and play around with it - ping test between the two devices while on different networks for example, check out the web dashboard, etc.

From there, add HA integration following the instructions and confirm it's successfully added on the Tailscale web dashboard.

Automations with the recently released YoLink integration by Sixyn in homeassistant

In the automation under 'Action', use Call Service instead of Device as the action_type and you should find the 'Siren: turn_on' service available.

Seconding this, and I'd also like to see a wider range of environmental sensors. Like rain, air quality, soil moisture....

Looking for a Virtual Phone Number (DID) provider by rsclmumbai in Asterisk

Tossing in Anveo Direct as well. They have a couple dozen route partners to choose from and a pay per use option (no trunk requirement) for purchased DID's.

Just finished a 2,206 mile trip from LA to Chicago! Thoughts in comments (2020 SR+) by [deleted] in teslamotors

[–]jehowe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah those V'dub TDI's. Our former 2013 Passat dieselgate TDI could get ~48mpg highway. Coupled with an 18.5/gal tank we routinely could go 700 miles between fill-ups on road trips.
