I have my phone set to auto-deny any number that is not in my contact list to combat the ever increasing amount of spam I've been getting. Unfortunately there is one insurance scammer that has taken to leaving voicemails. Multiple VMs a day for the last two weeks.
I contacted my provider about disabling my VM box altogether. They do not support this. You can, however, redirect missed calls to another number instead.
I now send missed calls to: https://github.com/pjf/rickastley
Eat Rickroll, spammers!

More Asterisk success today. Tested out sending an XMPP message with Caller ID information on incoming call. Works like a champ!

I got Opus working on these Polycom phones. Had to go read the release notes from when they added it. Turns out you have to disable video to get Opus working. This is OK since I don't have cameras for them. Interestingly, the "HD" icon doesn't display when Opus is in use, despite it being a wideband capable codec.

I am saddened by the lack of #ipv6 management support in small business switches.

"Another 10 Years Later" by Geoff Huston
"Ten years ago, I wrote an article[0] that looked back on the developments within the Internet over the period from 1998 to 2008. Well another ten years has gone by, and itβs a good opportunity to take a little time once more to muse over whatβs new, whatβs old and whatβs been forgotten in another decade of the Internetβs evolution."

Well, that was exciting. Talking on the #hamradio with a friend of mine out for a walk when he says "Hey Kevin, can you roll me an ambulance to [cross streets]?" Yeah, that's a drop everything and pick up the phone. He had encountered someone in need of aid and since we were already talking it was easier to have me make the call while he tended to the situation.

@staticsafe What PoE switch do you have again? Is good? I find myself in need of some PoE ports.
