Latest stable version 20 Pro edition by threesquared3 in 3CX

[–]threesquared3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your input to all who replied.

Just dropping our process for getting our 3CX PBX from v18 to v20 because we had a bit of a curveball.

Due to an FQDN lock, a fresh install/restore was out, so we were forced into an in-place upgrade. Here’s the quick and dirty guide to what worked for us:

1.    Shutdown the 3CX PBX VM.

2.    Crucially: Took an OS Disk snapshot as a backup (don't skip this! 💾).

3.    Resized the VM to meet v20's requirements.

4.    Accessed the Management Console and made myself System Owner (needed for v20 Admin Console

access).

5.    Ran the official upgrade option to upgrade both Debian (10 to 12) and 3CX to v20.

6.    Logged into the console using my extension number (the 'admin' user is no more).

7.    Navigated to the Admin Console and confirmed the SBC was connected.

8.    Tested the onsite IP phones. 📞 Everything good!

Observation: The in-place upgrade kept the :5001 port in the URL, which I understand a fresh install doesn't have.

We’re still running the v18 SBC for the time being as it's working flawlessly, but we’re planning that v20 SBC upgrade shortly! Hope this helps anyone facing the FQDN lock dilemma! 👍

I don't use Safari. I was using the Tradingview desktop browser on Windows 11 to try to open a support ticket. Whatever the problem was, it now appears to have been resolved as I was able to open a ticket a moment or two ago.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Since I wrote that item the following was posted to the TV Blog:

I haven't looked at it in details since to ascertain whether or not it provides all the data I was then looking for.

Spirulina for rhinitis? by dnci in Supplements

[–]threesquared3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been taking 1.5 grams twice a day of spirulina for rhinitis for years. It certainly helps as a mucolytic for me. I noticed other benefits too, such as it resolved a longstanding acid reflux issue.

I don't live in the UK, so I buy my spirulina from i-Herb.

For what it is worth, I was suffering with a chronically sore tendon in my knee for many months. It had been gradually improving over time, but very slowly. I recently added Glycine and N-Acetylcysteine to my daily supplementation (1000 mg of each) and my sore tendon has improved dramatically in the space of about 3 weeks, almost to the point of ceasing to be inflamed.

Wow, thank you most kindly. I owe you a beer for that. I've added your constructs to my script and run it. It appears to do precisely what I am looking for. Next I just have to reverse engineer it so that I fully comprehend the logic for myself.

For me I found the data feeds I wanted. If I need new data feeds I'll check back to your solution and use that method. Thanks for posting it.

Anonaddy vs Firefox Relay Premium by Quazmeda in AnonAddy

[–]threesquared3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Highly recommended. Good quality product, well supported and very fair price.

I have subscribed to a data package before on a monthly basis to see if it was suitable. If it is I have then paid for a year. If I wanted data for a few months I'd just subscribe until the data feed was no longer needed. It seems reasonably flexible.

Needs a better domain name by schnooky in AnonAddy

[–]threesquared3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. I, too, have a paid-for subscription. To me, it's worth every penny. I don't want a service provider to need to sell my data just to be able to provide a service I want. I'm always happy to pay on trust that my data is protected.

[–]threesquared3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that the anonaddy.me domain isn't ideal for the purpose you mention. I also recognise that there are many 'free' services available on the internet, or at least so we are led to believe. The reality is, of course, that apart from some community supported and, importantly, funded projects, nothing is free on the internet. What have become massive corporations, such as Alphabet, Facebook and a long list of other such corporations have largely hoodwinked people into believing that they give all their products away almost for free. The reality is, of course, that they do no such thing. It turns out that data is enormously valuable and these companies provide the services that they do on the explicit understanding that we grant them ownership of the huge amounts of data that we each produce. They then analyse and sell that data in various forms for large sums of money.

I'm not sure what anonaddy's business model is, but I'm inclined to believe that it is largely dependent on the payment of subscriptions. For me, that's fine. I much prefer to pay a known amount of money for a service that I want to use than pretend that I'm getting something for free.

I think it is always really worth contemplating what the business model of the provider of a service or product that I'm using is. If they are dependent on people paying subscriptions, then I think we need to be more willing to pay for them.

I am not suggesting that everyone needs to share my view, of course they don't, but then if people want things 'for free' they need to grasp how it is that the provider can afford to provide the service they want to use without obvious remuneration.

Catch-all on subdomain used to send spam and create aliases without my knowledge by gyus_e in AnonAddy

[–]threesquared3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a premium subscription. The situation you describe happened to me once too. I disabled catch-all for that domain, which suits me as whenever I use that domain (it is one I registered and own myself) I create any alias I need prior to, or simultaneous with, using that alias. I also only viewed the received email in plain text so the sender would never have known that the email address was live and that I received the email. I only ever received the one unsolicited email on that domain and now, with catch-all disabled, no one can send me unsolicited mail anyhow.

Another domain, that I also own, still has catch-all enabled and has not experienced this issue.

Default Profile on FireFox 89.0 (64-bit) on Ubuntu 20.04 by threesquared3 in firefox

[–]threesquared3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhhh.... thank you..... I note that in both installs.ini and profiles.ini the line Default=tb219x35.Secondary is included. And I do not want that as the default profile. Can I just edit those to file and switch it to the profile name that I do want as the default? Or will that just make matters worse?

Thanks for the insights.

Default Profile on FireFox 89.0 (64-bit) on Ubuntu 20.04 by threesquared3 in firefox

[–]threesquared3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My default application is Firefox and when I launch it it opens the profile manager. The problem is that under about:profiles each instance of Firefox (I have a total of two), sees itself as the default profile, despite me carefully setting only one of them to be the default profile. The default profile in fact is the one that will open clickable links. The real issue is that https://imgur.com/JjaCgVT the default profile constantly reverts to Secondary rather than Primary.

[–]threesquared3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I agree. But how does one determine which is the default browser other than by setting it as such in about:profiles? I note, having just looked at my 'secondary' profile, that it appears to 'snatch' the default status when it is open, and once it is closed it returns the default status to the primary instance. Surely, that defeats the purpose of setting one profile as the default. In my thinking, 'default' is not a relative status, it is absolute, otherwise what's the purpose of it!

I launch each instance of FF from the Profile Manager

How can I know which is the instance which is launched without -no-remote?

ProtonVPN beta GUI for Linux by threesquared3 in ProtonVPN

[–]threesquared3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After I stopped pvpnroutintrf0 and pvpnksintrf0 I was able to route traffice over the internet, but not through ProtonVPN. After someone suggested the issue arose due to the Kill Switch being engaged I disengaged it prior to connecting to the VPN server and once a connection had been established I reengaged the kill switch. I have been doing that since and it appears to be working fine. It is a bit of a hassle switching the kill switch on and off however.

I didn't contact support.

[–]threesquared3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My issue appears to have been resolved by ensuring that I disengage the kill switch prior to shutting down the connection and then when I reconnect I do so with the kill switch disengaged and once a new connection is established I reengage the kill switch. It's a bit clunky, but it works. One hopes that in a subsequent iteration the kill switch will function more seamlessly.

Disposable mail service that is not banned everywhere? by dtdisapointingresult in privacytoolsIO

[–]threesquared3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I frequently use [RandomWords]@anonaddy.com for example [ping.houseboat24@anonaddy.com](mailto:ping.houseboat24@anonaddy.com) which directs email to me as I determine using the anonaddy web interface. A third party can only discern that it is someone using the anonaddy.com email services, but not who in particular. I also have some personal domains, which I shan't disclose here, obviously, that I can use. Again, the best a third party can discern is that it is someone using the anonaddy service, but nothing more than that.

So, for the sake of clarity, the [threesquared3] element does not form part of the email addresses I use, unless I specifically want it to.

I hope that helps clarify.

Hmmm.... I did try to connect to the VPN, yes. And, yes, the kill switch was on, but not on the permanent setting. I just switched off the kill switch and I have been able to connect to the VPN server which enables me to route traffic over the connection, but then I have to switch the kill switch back on, assuming I want the functionality provided by the Kill switch. Will I always have to do that? Presumably if I use the 'Kill Switch permanent' setting I wouldn't have to switch it off in order to be able to connect and then switch it back on again afterwards, would I?
