Yealink T46s PJSIP Cipher Issues

I’ve been having a lot of issues with older Yealink phones not working with pjsip and TLS. Keep getting busy, and end up setting taking the lazy road (and less secure), and setting old broken endpoints to use UDP instead. You can also downgrade the extension to SIP and sometimes TLS will work, but moving it to PJSIP just breaks it. For security sake, please set your phones behind a VPN if you’re going to register without TLS. I happen to be spending more time at the office lately and wanted to take my spare T46s up there to use, since I was on a Polycom VVX 310 or something (I can’t stand Polycom, I dont know why). When I happen to move my T46s over from home to the office, I had some free time and decided to fix it.


iSCSI Target Server Choices

Building a custom iSCSI target server based on Debian Linux. Will it work?

Servers: No country for old men

It’s amazing how long Linux server can run if you don’t patch them.

Texas Linux Fest April 2nd!

Almost missed Texas Linux Fest this year! Last year it fell on a non-good weekend for me. I’m going to actually try and attend this year. Lots of good sponsors, and good speakers!


Apple? Should I switch?

Considering Apple since I’m a Linux nerd.

Linux World Days 1-3

Jeez, I keep forgetting to write about LinuxWorld.. First of all, sitting on a bed and using the laptop gets very uncomfortable after about 20 minutes in one position.

The weather has been great here.. high 50’s at night and high 60’s in the daytime.. The conference has been great, got so much free stuff, im going to have to get a box for all this stuff and check it as baggage. HP Announced this morning that they’ll be selling linux laptops pre-installed with SUSE 9.1. I thought that was pretty neat. After two days of drawings, I have yet to win the Sharp Zarus. One more chance tomorrow.. Intel had a pretty cool party last night, they had a guy with a chainsaw doing an ice sculpture of an “intel inside” logo.


Linux World Arrival

Made it to San Francisco this afternoon for Linux World. The weather is real nice, about 68 degrees right now.. The hotel is decent, but the wireless seems to be flaky, it’s acting like a linksys router or something.. every minute or so it drops me. I’ve got the same issues in linux and windows with both my broadcom b/g minipci and my orinoco gold.. so im using my orinoco with the externa mag mount antenna.. good thing i brought it, found another access point not owned by the hotel, which provides a much more stable connection, just a weak signal.
