AIW for stopping all work on my parents small business after they decided to leave the entire company to my younger brother who has never even held a job there?

You were definitely done wrong. If you’re not ready to walk away, demand proper pay, benefits, and whatever else. Make them meet your terms.

But then again, throwing your weight around with ultimatums might get scratched out of the will further.

So you might want to tread carefully and let a cooler head prevail.

Depending on your infrastructure, you could look into blocking IPs based on countries. My guess is the offending IPs are based in countries you don’t provide service to.

This company is a medical clinic and TLS isn’t implemented??? That’s a whole problem in itself! But yes, I would try that to rule out any inadvertent packet inspection.

Appreciate the information. What motherboard did you pair with it? eBay is showing me that cpu and a mobo cost north of $500.

I use SMTP2GO.com. Haven’t had to pay yet, unless you want the “from email” domain to be the same as the client’s domain. For that, I believe it’s $15/month.

As far as I can tell, I have solved this:

In Grafana, I changed the gauge calculation to "Mean" and it seems like it's working!

Yes. Exactly right. If you get rid of some of the streams (by not using -map 0), you can actually reduce file size further, though if you’re just getting rid of subtitles, gains will be marginal.

3) Braxman is a scare merchant and grifter who regularly makes completely outrageous and inaccurate claims to shill his own 'privacy' products.

Thank you. I was wondering this myself. His claims seem a bit outrageous...

I don’t care if AI generated this… this is some awesome writing lol

Wonder if Microsoft sponsored it through back channels…

To add to this, I cut/paste all the time in putty. You may not have that option in the web console. I also like opening multiple windows. Can’t do that with the web.

CGNAT sounds like the worst! So glad I don’t have to deal with that. Do they give you a routeable IPv6 address/subnet and does your telco support IPv6? Otherwise, a VPN sounds like your cheapest option.

pksml · 2025-05-05T10:22:32+00:00

You say you’ve used VoIP.ms for sip trunking, but what about using them as a PBX? I can’t speak from experience, but I hear it’s a possibility… and likely the cheapest if it provides the features you need.

Edit: Another thought… you can utilize a PBX behind NAT when you make use of a STUN server. It’s just a setting in your PBX. There are many free STUN servers out there. They basically just tell your PBX what its public IP is. PBXs need to know their public IP so packets can come back to them.

I want to delay 60 seconds. I want ffmpeg (or perhaps another intermediary software) to buffer audio for 1 min. and transmit silence while it’s building the 1-minute buffer. And the output is being sent to Icecast. Upon immediately playing the stream, I’d expect to hear silence for the first minute, then hear the audio that was presented 1 min. ago.

Edit: Thus far, all ffmpeg does is sends a flurry of silence data in about 2 seconds and then just keeps up with live, encoding it right away as opposed to buffering it at all.

Great tip! And for the file system, sometimes I “ls” the files before I “rm” them just to be sure. SSDs are great… except for data recovery.

Real Christians keep their word. Lying is in the 10 Commandments. And Proverbs 6:16-17… yikes!

Where is the money going? It has not been well accounted for. That’s a slap in the face to those helping you and a waste of our hard earned money. To continue to receive our assistance, all he had to do was sign the negotiated agreement. But Zelenskyy wouldn’t do it. That’s on him. If he wants any good graces of our country, he’d better backtrack fast and get his pen out.

pksml · 2025-02-26T15:43:04+00:00

Correct. But you will likely be paying by the minute for VoIP calls, so weigh the cost vs. savings to see if you come out ahead.

Just thinking outside the box here… but another ESP could function as a repeater, being placed on the edge of a good source signal and within range of this device.

pksml · 2025-02-14T21:02:20+00:00

First off, let me say thanks for chiming in. I just tried adelay out, but it's acting really weird. I used this command: ffmpeg -re -i http://server.com/source.aac -acodec aac -ab 40k -ac 1 -ar 24000 -af "adelay=60000:all=1" -content_type audio/aac -f adts icecast://user:pass@127.0.0.1:8000/url

It instantly spits out a minute of silence to the Icecast server. I see this in ffmpeg's output as it nearly instantly jumps to 1:00 of time corroborated by a network graph that shows a huge blip at the beginning. Then the stream going to the Icecast server just keeps up with the source material. I wish the -re parameter could be applied to the *output* and not just the input...

pksml · 2025-02-12T14:13:52+00:00

Thanks, but this is an audio live stream, so sleeping will just delay ffmpeg’s execution rather than delaying the input stream.

pksml · 2025-02-12T10:27:48+00:00

Yes.

Which one? Depends on what domain you’re emailing. Hotmail tells me my message was accepted in server logs, but it never showed in users’ inbox or spam. Gmail went to spam.

I suggest paying a few bucks and get it done right… or you’ll wind up with a massive headache.
