<p><i>sigh</i>  Mom and Dad are fighting...<p>But seriously, this illustrates to me that Codes of Conduct are mostly suspect.  This is obviously a private feud (nobody looks to be in the right here and I don't care who started what), so to pull "they violated the CoC" is pure theatre and bullshit.  I'm a Sparkfun customer and I find that really disappointing.</p>

<p>Hello, I'm setting up a service that uses text messages for something like 2FA: it sends a text message containing a code back to a person.<p>However I apparently have to go through this 10DLC campaign registration process [1] because right now the number is outright blocked by many carriers.  It's odd though because 10DLC seems to be strongly oriented to marketing uses for texting, which I'm not doing.<p>Anyway, getting to specifics: For "Campaign and content attributes" I think NONE of the options apply, but I'm also worried that I will be rejected if I don't include "opt-in" and "opt-out" keywords and text.<p>I've checked 2FA messages still on my phone from various big corps and they don't include opt-in/out text.  But they are huge and I'm a tiny unknown; would it simply be on safer side for me to include opt-in/out in the application, just to reduce the chance of rejection?<p>Appreciate any help, thanks!<p>[1] https://support.telnyx.com/en/articles/6339152-how-to-create-a-10dlc-campaign</p>

<p>Not sure if this is the best, but I use nftables and this article helped me setup port knocking on a debian server:  <a href="https://home.regit.org/2017/07/nftables-port-knocking/" rel="nofollow">https://home.regit.org/2017/07/nftables-port-knocking/</a><p>Then I added a tripwire feature to make it less likely that a random port traversal would be successful.  Here's a snippet of my nftables.conf:<p><pre><code>    define KNOCK_PORT1 = 20000
    define KNOCK_PORT2 = 30000
    define KNOCK_PORT3 = 10000

    define TRIPWIRE_PORT2 = 25000

        }
    
        # handle port knocking
        chain raw {

            policy accept;
    
            ip saddr @banned tcp dport { $KNOCK_PORT1, $KNOCK_PORT2, $KNOCK_PORT3} log prefix "nft banned: " drop

  - result of mining gets back to your server somehow (encoded in which page they fetch next?)</code></pre></p>

<p>Find a Sansa Clip, Clip+ or similar on ebay and install rockbox on it.  Once setup you can just plug it into your computer and drag & drop mp3s like any other USB thumb drive.  They're tiny and it's great having physical buttons; you can pause, skip, etc without looking at the device.<p>There are a bunch more supported players but I've only used Sansa.  See:

<p>Original poster here.  I heard back from OVH that this was their automatic fraud detection system kicking in, and after manual review they removed this requirement.  Apparently I made a mistake entering my CC info.  Doh...<p>Now I feel like I jumped the gun posting, but I also feel relieved.  In any case, thanks for all the support.</p>

<p>I wanted to try out OVHcloud and signed up and paid for a small, cheap VPS.  Then I get this email:<p><pre><code>  Please provide full-color photos of the following using the OVHcloudShare app (see instructions below):
    - A government-issued photo ID
    - A picture of the credit card used in the transaction including:
          1. The name matching the listed name in the Manager account, AND
          2. The last 4 digits of the card number
    - A photo of yourself holding the government-issued Photo ID provided above.
</code></pre>
I absolutely will not do this - it's incredibly invasive and this is just a hosting service, not a bank.  And it's a terrible idea.  If every company starts doing this the security implications are far worse than whatever problem they're trying to solve.<p>Am I crazy?  Is this just the way the world works now because of KYC or credit card scams or something?  Or is it a European thing? (This is a French company and I'm in the USA.)</p>

<p>My dehumidifier isn't on the list but I believe maybe it should be.  Several times now it gets into a state where it's very loud, abnormally hot and it turns out the compressor is stuck ON even though the fan is not running.  Even powering it down (with the button) will not turn off the compressor.<p>Unplugging it and plugging back in will <i>sometimes</i> fix the problem.  Looked into it and it turns out the power relay is getting stuck in the on position.  I have to open the dehumidifier completely to get access to the relay and then tap on it with something hard.  This has worked to unstick it, at least so far.<p>I think maybe this relay isn't up to its task.  I was curious about replacing it with something similar but couldn't find anything remotely as small for switching 120 VAC mains power.<p>For reference, my dehumidifer is a Toshiba TDDP7011ES2.
The relay in question is a Sanyou SFK-112DMP.<p>I dunno, maybe this will help someone out there figure out what's going on.</p>

<p>The wide range of answers to this has been really helpful.  What I'm getting out of it is this:  If you're a linked-in refuser (like I've been so far) then it limits you somewhat, filtering out some potential employers, but possibly in a good way.<p>But you don't HAVE to use it.  Good to know!</p>
