| 15:45.24 | kim27 | wonders if the 114% is an edge case where a person holds a title at two different companies. I could see an edge case like that causing issues. |
| 15:53.18 | jima | kim27: fwiw, netflix blocking tunnels is very much a matter of contractual compliance with the already volatile content owners. |
| 15:55.18 | *** join/#utah pashdown (pashdown@peteashdown.org) |
| 15:56.01 | kim27 | Yeah I've read all about it, but I wish Netflix didn't do such a good job at blocking them... especially since I only wanted IPv6 :'( |
| 15:57.36 | jima | i asked someone to pass along the musing that they could validate whether a tunnel was coming in from outside the country by using an ipv4-only check...the response was a photo with an extended middle finger. tsk. |

| 15:58.59 | kim27 | There are a bunch of providers of location information for IP addresses, however, to validate that the tunneler is inside of the US is a bit more challenging. Probably need to do some sort of latency check. |
| 16:02.26 | kim27 | as the tunnel provider may be in the US, but the person tunneling in may be outside of the US. |
| 16:02.33 | jima | yep. |
| 16:03.10 | jima | and that's not even always out of sneakiness...sometimes the closest tunnel server (by latency) isn't in the same country as the user. :-\ |
| 16:03.32 | kim27 | Interestingly enough, I think the tunnel may work fine if you tunnel into your home from outside of the US, as I think Netflix is blocking IP addresses of data centers... |
| 16:04.01 | jima | (trying to access netflix when in a country they don't license for...that's more likely to be sneakiness i think) |
| 16:04.03 | kim27 | although, I suppose Netflix could be doing some sort of MTU trick... |
| 16:09.09 | jima | enh...i think there's enough garbage PPPoE/PPPoA implementations that that wouldn't necessarily be reliable. |

| 18:50.06 | kim27 | jlp_znc have you seen https://youtu.be/b_WmjWAGkLI ? |
| 20:27.19 | youtah | no |
| 20:28.46 | youtah | Someone is making spam calls with my phone number again. (spoofing my number) so I am getting all of these people calling me back. Grrrr. |
| 20:34.03 | youtah | blames jima |
| 20:42.10 | romanovic | I hate those. I get a lot of 801-<my prefix>-xxxx calls that are clearly spam. Makes me wonder whose local number they are using |
| 20:43.38 | romanovic | if anyone is legitimately trying to get hold of me and shares my prefix, I haven't answered any of those numbers in 2-3 years. unless they're already in my phone book |
| 20:44.51 | jlp_znc | kim27: that's pretty crazy. |
| 20:45.20 | jlp_znc | that third guy was probably needing a new pair of shorts after that one. |
| 20:49.02 | aeryndunham | romanovic: I get tons of those too |
| 20:49.16 | aeryndunham | I figure if someone legit calls me and I don't answer, they can leave me a message |
| 20:50.41 | youtah | or text me |
| 20:50.46 | aeryndunham | Yeah, exactly |
| 21:16.27 | jlp_znc | aeryndunham: yeah, and that's what I do with my sister-in-law, too, when she calls me. she can leave a message (which she never does... except sometimes "call me", which to me is the same as no message at all since she doesn't say what she wants/needs) |
| 21:18.25 | aeryndunham | Yeah I hate messages like that |
| 21:18.29 | aeryndunham | just TELL ME |
| 21:18.31 | romanovic | is there a way to redirect specific people to a custom voicemail greeting? like "state your business and leave your number, or else I'm not returning your call" |
| 21:19.17 | jlp_znc | my OGM says something like "leave your name, number, and a brief reason for your call, and I'll get back to you"... the "if you don't, I won't" is implied. |
| 21:19.26 | jlp_znc | but maybe I should add that to the message :D |
| 21:20.10 | frostyfrog | manithree: Yup. http://utahsdr.org/ 5000 KHz |
| 21:20.54 | frostyfrog | Also, pop it into AM mode |
| 21:23.02 | romanovic | I want to fool the voicemail detection so they put a human on the line to listen to my automated message. something like "Hello? ........ This is the [28th] time you have called without leaving a message. Please stop." |
| 21:24.13 | frostyfrog | romanovic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXVJ4JQ3SUw |
| 21:25.45 | romanovic | put together a mail response for a similar reason to send to organisations who bury him in mail *after* he has enrolled in their paperless program, because it happens so frequently and they won't stop |
| 21:45.00 | frostyfrog | You don't like the free kindling, eh? |
| 21:47.54 | TodPunk | romanovic: One of the things I plan on doing next with Phone Janitor is adding a "test if human" condition where it will answer and give them a random addition/subtraction problem and get their input of the number. If they don't pass, they get sent to voicemail. |
| 21:48.28 | TodPunk | All my current effort is on new job and writing a mobile app for it though, so it's kind of taking a while =cP |
| 21:49.07 | TodPunk | If you ran your own VoIP server you could do the tracking thing pretty easily and do fancier IVRs the more they don't interact. |
| 22:57.06 | romanovic | frostyfrog: i have literally tried. I used to keep a burn box. It takes a surprisingly long time to burn through 50lbs of unwanted mail out in the firepit, and I'd have to do that every 4-6 weeks to keep up |
| 22:58.07 | romanovic | although I did read about one method to soak and compress old mail into solid paper blocks or logs for burning... haven't tried that yet |
| 22:58.36 | romanovic | TodPunk: that sounds like a cool project. the world needs it |
