Hi,
I have been trying to make whatsapp-chatgpt run as a service on my dedicated machine.
I can run it as root running "npm run start" in the application directory /opt/whatsapp-chatgpt/.
I then created a shell script /opt/whatsapp-chatgpt/run_whatsappgpt.sh to do this for me. It works flawlessly. This is it:

#!/bin/bash cd /opt/whatsapp-chatgpt/ npm run start 

I then created a service /etc/systemd/system/whatsgpt.service.

[Unit] Description = WhatsGPT After = network.target [Service] Type=simple Restart=on-failure User=root WorkingDirectory=/opt/whatsapp-chatgpt/ ExecStart=/opt/whatsapp-chatgpt/run_whatsappgpt.sh [Install] WantedBy = multi-user.target 

Using journalctl -u whatsgpt.service, I can watch the service failing:

Jun 02 08:16:40 box.foo.bar systemd[1]: Started WhatsGPT. Jun 02 08:16:41 box.foo.bar run_whatsappgpt.sh[461845]: > [email protected] start Jun 02 08:16:41 box.foo.bar run_whatsappgpt.sh[461845]: > npx vite-node src/index.ts Jun 02 08:16:43 box.foo.bar run_whatsappgpt.sh[461857]: npm WARN exec The following package was not found and will be installed: vite-node Jun 02 08:16:43 box.foo.bar run_whatsappgpt.sh[461857]: npm ERR! code EBADENGINE Jun 02 08:16:43 box.foo.bar run_whatsappgpt.sh[461857]: npm ERR! engine Unsupported engine Jun 02 08:16:43 box.foo.bar run_whatsappgpt.sh[461857]: npm ERR! engine Not compatible with your version of node/npm: [email protected] Jun 02 08:16:43 box.foo.bar run_whatsappgpt.sh[461857]: npm ERR! notsup Not compatible with your version of node/npm: [email protected] Jun 02 08:16:43 box.foo.bar run_whatsappgpt.sh[461857]: npm ERR! notsup Required: {"node":">=14.18.0","npm":">=8.0.0"} Jun 02 08:16:43 box.foo.bar run_whatsappgpt.sh[461857]: npm ERR! notsup Actual: {"npm":"8.5.1","node":"v12.22.9"} Jun 02 08:16:43 box.foo.bar run_whatsappgpt.sh[461857]: npm ERR!

Jun 02 08:16:43 box.foo.bar systemd[1]: whatsgpt.service: Consumed 2.927s CPU time. 

To me, this seems like npm is not running in the correct working directory. I have been playing with different solutions, such as avoiding the shell script and running npm directly from the service, but to no success.
What else should I try? Thank you!

Reputation Based Income Tax Act
We pass the reputation-based income tax act for gods and encourage it's passing for people. Reputation formula shall be based on:
Number of gods and people who have rated a god, and the value of an economic transaction, and the number of people killed/destroyed. Ratings are truthful and must be published for all gods, even those not participating. Destructions may be removed with sucessful reenlivening.
All people a god interacts with or gains funding from may rate a god, these comprise half of a god's formula. The other half is how other gods rate them.
Each destruction provides a reputation score of "0" and a negative income packet of 2x-$mean annual income year that must be replaced.
Each god's taxpayers and donors rate them on a 0-100 scale. Rating value is that times the amount of money you've given the god plus mean annual income if you're simply a follower. Tax rate is 100-this score.
$1 given or value x your individual ranking= score.
All income must be reported to congressional theories.
Naming Act
Law we can do it and name or solicit identities for preexisting gods, produced at the rate of at least 40,000 /month.
Land and Avenging Gods Act
Any person can win godhood status and land by actig as an avenging god or creating one to tae land penalties from those who destroy or kill wrongfully. Land penalties are 100-1/number of people wronfgully killed. They go to the first avenging god or god team to act and press a case before Chaos//COngress.
Free Media and Journalism Act
Journalism shall be provided by a network of drones that deliver information and report on deaths, destructions, election and other pressing events. Attacking a drone, viewers, listeners, media consumers or the network itself is destruction. Anyone may start a messenger drone network. No game rules may prevent the network or press from reporting on information to anyone.
Law
Congress wins and prevails over success or what remains of it. People should care about congress and protect it.

Cisco switches are a crucial component in modern network infrastructure, providing the foundation for data transmission and connectivity. To effectively manage and control these switches, network administrators need to understand the various configuration modes available. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the configuration modes offered by Cisco switches.
User EXEC Mode:
User EXEC mode is the default mode when accessing a Cisco switch. It provides limited access to basic monitoring and troubleshooting commands. In this mode, users can perform tasks such as checking switch status, running diagnostic tests, and verifying network connectivity.
Privileged EXEC Mode:
Privileged EXEC mode, also known as enable mode, offers a higher level of access than User EXEC mode. It allows administrators to execute more advanced commands for switch configuration and management. To enter this mode, users must provide the correct enable password or use authentication methods like TACACS+ or RADIUS.
Global Configuration Mode:
Global Configuration mode allows administrators to make changes that affect the entire switch. In this mode, users can configure global parameters, such as device hostname, domain name, and enable passwords. They can also set up features like Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Virtual LANs (VLANs), and Quality of Service (QoS).
Interface Configuration Mode:
Interface Configuration mode enables administrators to configure specific switch interfaces. By entering this mode, users can assign IP addresses, enable or disable ports, set port speed and duplex settings, and configure access control lists (ACLs) for traffic filtering. This mode is particularly useful for fine-tuning individual interfaces to meet specific network requirements.
Line Configuration Mode:
Line Configuration mode allows administrators to configure settings related to remote access to the switch. It includes console, Telnet, SSH, and auxiliary ports. In this mode, users can specify settings such as baud rate, session timeout, authentication methods, and encryption algorithms.
VLAN Configuration Mode:
VLAN Configuration mode is used to create, modify, and delete Virtual LANs (VLANs). In this mode, administrators can assign ports to VLANs, configure VLAN trunks, set up VLAN routing, and implement features like VLAN access control lists (VACLs) for enhanced security.
ROM Monitor Mode:
ROM Monitor (ROMMON) mode is a low-level diagnostic mode that allows administrators to recover the switch in case of a catastrophic failure or to perform firmware upgrades. It provides access to basic commands for booting the switch, copying files, and resetting passwords.
Conclusion:
Understanding the various configuration modes of Cisco switches is crucial for efficient network management. From User EXEC mode for basic monitoring to Global Configuration mode for making global changes, each mode serves a specific purpose in the configuration process. By leveraging these modes effectively, administrators can ensure optimal performance, security, and customization of their Cisco switch deployments.

With the popularity of Ordinals NFT’s on Bitcoin blockchain. I was curious, how long until a token issued directly on Bitcoin which passes the Howey Test? and because of that falls under the scrutiny of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission?
Also, Ordinals greatly lower the barrier to introducing illegal, objectionable or classified content directly on to the chain. How do we stop it on a decentralized blockchain? It's possible to prune the content from stored data on Bitcoin. Which ensures that anyone running a full node has an option to opt out of storing any illegal or unwanted material. I was curious if we can do the same on Quai Network blockchain as well?
Finally, there is a growing resentment due to the increase in congestion leading to high fees. There is an ongoing debate whether lightning network can support and sustain this surge?
We know, PoEM consensus mechanism will be a better solution because of the reason explained by Dr. K here. What does the community think? Ordinals on Quai Network is a good idea?

Kubernetes
I'm trying to set up a pod running a pptp-client.
I want to access a single machine behind the VPN and this works fine locally , my docker container adds records to my localhost's routing table, all is well.
ip route add x.x.x.x dev ppp0 I am only able to establish a connection to the VPN-server as long as privileged is set to true and network_mode is set to "host"
The production environment is a bit different, the "localhost" would be one of our three operating nodes in our Google Container cluster.
I don't know if the route added after the established connection would be only accessible by the containers operating inside that node.. but this is a later problem.
docker-compose.yml
version: '2'services: pptp-tunnel: build: ./ image: eu.gcr.io/project/image environment: - VPN\_SERVER=X.X.X.X - VPN\_USER=XXXX - VPN\_PASSWORD=XXXX privileged: true network\_mode: "host" This seems to be more difficult to achieve with kubernetes, though both options exist and is declared as you can see in my manifest. (hostNetwork, privileged)
Kubernetes Version
Version 1.6.6
pptp-tunnel.yml
apiVersion: v1kind: Servicemetadata: name: pptp-tunnel namespace: default labels:spec: type: ClusterIP selector: app: pptp-tunnel ports: - name: pptp port: 1723---apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1kind: Deploymentmetadata: name: pptp-tunnel namespace: defaultspec: replicas: 1 strategy: rollingUpdate: maxSurge: 1 maxUnavailable: 0 type: RollingUpdate selector: matchLabels: app: pptp-tunnel template: metadata: labels: app: pptp-tunnel spec: hostNetwork: true containers: - name: pptp-tunnel env: - name: VPN\_SERVER value: X.X.X.X - name: VPN\_USER value: XXXX - name: VPN\_PASSWORD value: 'XXXXX' securityContext: privileged: true capabilities: add: ["NET\_ADMIN"] image: eu.gcr.io/project/image imagePullPolicy: Always ports: - containerPort: 1723 I've also tried adding capabilities: NET_ADMIN as you can see, without effect. Setting the container in priviliged mode should disable the security, i shouldn't need both.
Would be nice to not have to set the container to priviliged mode and just rely on capabilities to bring the ppp0 interface up and add the routing.
What happens when the POD starts is that the pptp-client simply keeps sending requests and times out.(This happens with my docker container locally aswell until i turn network_mode "host" on.)
sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 ]LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests But this is without hostNetwork enabled, if i enable it i simply get a single request sent, and then modem hangup.
using channel 42Using interface ppp0Connect: ppp0 < /dev/pts/0sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x7 ]Script ?? finished (pid 59), status = 0x0Script pptp XX.XX.XX.XX --nolaunchpppd finished (pid 60), status = 0x0Script ?? finished (pid 67), status = 0x0Modem hangupConnection terminated. Declaring the HostNetwork boolean let's me see multiple interfaces shared from the host, so this is working but somehow im not able to establish a connection, i cant figure out why.
Perhaps there is a better solution? I will still need to establish a connection to the VPN-server but adding a routing record to the host may not be the best solution.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I am unable to use almost any game. It says it cannot connect to the network to verify license. I attempt to restore and it says “cannot connect to PlayStation network. PlayStation network might be temporarily busy. Please try again later”. I’ve checked the psn status, it’s all good. I’ve restarted my PlayStation, didn’t work. I’ve restarted my router, didn’t work.
I’ve tried every solution I can find, nothing works. I really don’t know what to do here

I can't play any games on my account because my ps5 claims it can't connect to playstation network. I can download games from my account, and access the playstation store. Nothing seems weird on my phone app, and when I check the network status on Google it says everything is up and running. So I tried to contact playstation support directly, so I go on their support site and request to chat with someone. They tell me to restore my licenses. Ok, sure that makes sense. I try to restore my licenses and get a can't connect try again later message. Support tells me to deactivate my console from a phone or PC. I try to login on my phone, and it asks to verify my identity by doing puzzles. Like, seriously this is verbatim what it asks. So it says I have to solve 15 puzzles. These puzzles tell me to move a person sitting on a chair in a 3x3 grid to the right chair, and each row is marked with a number and each column is marked with a symbol and each puzzle tells you a number and symbol to move the person to. This immediately raised red flags because I've never seen anything like this before, but I was using the official playstation.com website to do this so I went along. I solved all the puzzles correctly 3 times but each time it says I missed one and has me re do it. So I can't get into my account, and now every time I try to connect to an agent they get disconnected

Any fix?

Hello - I am currently exploring other networks and moving away from Verizon. I am currently on a mint mobile trial but am unable to get VOLTE to work on either my unlocked Galaxy S20 (sm-g981V) or my unlocked s23 (sm-S911U1). It works fine in my wife's pixel 7. Is there some sort of VOLTE lock that Verizon puts on phones? Data, texting, and calling work but I can use data and be on a call at the same time.
Also, I get IMS registration status as off.

At my current job we have a relatively new system (less than 5 years, but installed before I started) that has an Allen Bradley PLC as the main controller with some local I/O, but a lot of remote I/O including a couple racks of Beckhoff I/O and several EtherCAT devices that talk to the Beckhoff.
The Beckhoff is configured with an Ethernet/IP Slave that is controlled by the Allen Bradley PLC using a generic ethernet module.
The problem with this system is that none of the remote I/O or ethernet/ip devices are setup with communication alarms. To make matters worse, if the Allen Bradley PLC goes into fault or loses communication with the Beckhoff, the entire EtherCAT network holds last state.
I went into TwinCAT for the PLC and found that it's 100% setup in the System Configuration. There's no PLC program. There are variables created for all the data going to the Allen Bradley and then the Ethernet/IP Slave are linked to EtherCAT Master using the variables.
I've read the TwinCAT manuals, spoken to my automation specialist, and spoke with Beckhoff tech support. None of them seem to know a lot about getting the EtherCAT Master to go into alarm and de-energize the network of devices. This seems like it should be really freaking standard for what's essentially a PLC configured to be remote i/o bus to not have some canned solution to configure the I/O for last state versus fail to off, fail to on, fail to min/max/predefinied analog output.
As someone who comes from Allen Bradley, I'm expecting to see dip switches, or an I/O configuration setting, but it seems like everyone from the Beckhoff side just looks at you sideways.
In fact my automation specialist got really defensive when I started asking questions and implied that he recommended this solution to our vendor and that there's nothing wrong with it when there's obviously serious problems with it.
This is my first experience with Beckhoff and while I like the platform there are clearly some quirks that I need to learn all the to work arounds.
I'm working on getting a spare PLC so I can run a test setup in my office. The machine with the Beckhoff is in production right now and doesn't have much if any downtime. I would like to know if I can just link the communication status from the Ethernet/IP Slave to one of the variables in the EtherCAT Master that will just disable everything easy peasy.
Tech support seemed baffled by this question and said I would need a PLC program. Does Beckhoff seriously not know anything about basic I/O configuration or did I just talk to the wrong person? It just baffles me that they would give this Ethernet/IP slave functionality, but not have a way to have status faults cascade into other networks.
Anyway, hoping there's a way I can handle all of this in the TwinCAT System Manager, not so that I have to do less work, but mostly so I can show my vendor and my Automation Specialist how to fix this the right way easy peasy, so it's easy for them to justify going back to fix this for all the systems they installed improperly.

Yes the in game error code and license thing is happening. However in addition PlayStation network is going haywire. I have been completely booted from opening any game due to a licensing verification issue. I can’t even restore licenses because it says it can’t connect to psn halfway through. Idk what’s going on
