A Phone Fix at Ace and a Backup Plan at Church
Not much today, but two useful fixes.
A phone fix at Ace
I had to fix a phone problem at Ace Hardware. Their internet provider changes the store's internet address from time to time.
I ended up giving their phone system one of my own internet addresses, which never changes. It connects to my network and uses that address. Now when their provider changes the store's address, the phones don't notice.
A backup plan at church
I also did some more work at the church to have a backup ready, in case my automations for the preschool lessons don't work.
Other updates
My ham radio addresses now go out directly through the new server in Kansas City, instead of through a separate provider.
The JPPS assistant now asks for both an email and a phone number when someone reports a problem, and checks that the phone number is a real US number.
I also released a small RustProxy update. I found the problem while giving my proxy server a newer-style internet address. Its firewall was blocking basic traffic that kind of address needs, so the server couldn't be reached at that address, even from its own router. The update lets that traffic through.
