todays #blighters have given up with the French Embassy, but are bizzarely *constantly* trying to dial wrong numbers or what appear to be valid numbers (today, someone in Denmark appears to be being targeted) but with a *really* bizzare set of escape digits beforehand..

Either they are #vibecoding their #SIP #hacking scripts and have 0 idea of how telephone numbers are actually formatted, or they are hoping to get a reorder back from someone who *has* misconfigured their #trunk or left it insecure, and then use that one for actual calls..

Just over a month and I've tamed all the #trunks (with abundant snake heads at the end), made sure 1500+ #blighters are yeeted (with more trying every day) got inter #PBX #trunk working between on-premises and cloud #FreePBX - just waiting for porting of first analogue number to check this (and CLID presentation) works and then main office one can follow.

Took many late evenings, a lot of research of everything from old #BritishTelecom training manuals to some from Universities in India and the Indian telecom companies, and I've learned a lot more about #SIP even since 2008 when I built the first #VOIP #PBX used at work.

Thankfully #routers seem to handle #SIP over #NAT a lot better than they used to (even got an extension it working over #LTE with #Linphone)

A woodland walk

There are days when I really feel I should have carried the big camera. And yet days when I’m thankful I didn’t. Today was a blend of both of these feelings… No Sony, but I did have my iPhone 11

You can see the difference in the light looking east and west

A casual stroll through Michaelwood (a wood so good they named a motorway services after it), in gentle spring sunshine. Everywhere I looked I felt I could have taken a decent photograph, and I did try, albeit with only my old iPhone.

Spring is come, and everything has a green hue…

And then it rained… it poured… water ran down the tracks and into the ditches and onto the roads and it just. didn’t. stop…

Of course, no-one believes anything about it being Friday 13th.

In the end I hid under a railway bridge and rang home for rescue…

(There was once a gate… I like the way the mossy branch follows the lean of the gatepost.)

Yes… She drove out to pick me up… I stayed mostly dry ish.

Did I mention, I love my wife?

"Scientists have determined that the whiskers lining the [elephant] trunk are crucial for that sensitivity thanks to their unique structure, amounting to a kind of innate “material intelligence, according to a new paper published in the journal Science."

Unique structure of elephant whiskers give them built-in sensing "intelligence"

The material properties change gradually from base to tip for better navigation, more precise manipulation.

This audio from #SouthPark has been playing rent free in my head for a bit. Enjoy!
