How do you "restart" receiving Firebase Alerts on short code 44398 - firebase

I often use Firebase phone auth in my applications. I have one user who religiously sends "STOP" to all text messages. Big oops. Now she can not login to any application using the system...
Short code phone # = 44398
If the user types "STOP" to that short code, the system responds with:
Firebase: You are opted out and will receive no further messages. For
HELP, reply HELP. Msg & Data rates may apply
Type "HELP", the response is:
Firebase: For more info: https://firebase.google.com/support/ -
Msg&Data rates may apply.
My question. How do you "RESTART" the service? The Firebase support page offers no help here.
I've tried "GO", "RESTART", "UNSTOP". All of those fail.
Here's a posting on how Twilio addresses the topic. Twilio uses START, YES and UNSTOP to restart a service (on long code source). Each of those fail here.
Twilio also provides a link to standards for short code expressions., but I'm not seeing anything on restarting a service.
Here is a screen shot (of my phone):

Missing videoTrack in a multitrack stream in Ant media server 2.4.1

We have a Multitrack web conference implementation using AMS 2.4.1 version. Its working great for our use case, except in one scenario. When there are N (< 3) number of users and they on there camera simultaneously, then few remote users are not rendered as we don't receive the video tracks for those users in newStreamAvailable. We only receive the audio track for those users. We are able to reproduce this quite frequently.
As a backup, I am trying to poll AMS using getTrackList with the main track Id to get all available streams, but I am not getting any message trackList
var jsCmd =
{
command : "getTrackList",
streamId : streamId, // this is roomId or main track id
token : token
}
Any insight would be helpful.
Thanks,
We were able to resolve the issue, posting here to help anyone who might be facing a similar issue.
With push notifications from the server, we might encounter issues when for some reason push operation doesn't succeed. In that case, it's better to have a backup plan to pull from the server and sync.
The Ant Media Server suggests pulling the server periodically for the room info. The server will respond with active streams and the application should synchronize.
For reference, please refer to following link https://resources.antmedia.io/docs/webrtc-websocket-messaging-reference

Why SMS sending is failing using plivo in R?

I am trying to use R script to send SMS internationally. I am using correctly Auth ID and Token, both numbers are verified. But I haven't bought any number from "Plivo". Is this the reason my message is not sent?
The code is getting compiled without any error. But no SMS is sent or received. I am sharing my code below:
#!/usr/bin/env Rscript
library(httr)
AUTH_ID="**************"
AUTH_TOKEN="**************************"
message<-"Eddie is confirming the message"
url="https://api.plivo.com/v1/Account/**************/Message/"
POST(url,authenticate(AUTH_ID,AUTH_TOKEN),body=list
(src="+966123456789",dst="+4912345678910",text=message))
Can anybody please tell me that what could be the possible reasons that why message sending is not happening even the source code is correct?
But I haven't bought any number from "Plivo"
The answer is:
To send an SMS with Plivo, you need a Plivo bought number.
Obvious logic:
If this was not the case, anyone could send messages from any "verified" phone numbers?
If you meant verified as in "account verified":
This is not what Plivo is used for, you need to check if your Mobile Carrier is providing an accessible internet accessible API (I doubt it.) If you need to use sim-linked numbers, you can always use modems and AT commands, but it's fairly unreliable.
I think you should buy a $1 Plivo number, unless you need it to validate gmails or things of such.

Telegram, tracking message edit/delete and editing my own messages (Client, not Bot API)

So I'm trying to implement the logging of telegram chats into my ELK storage in a proper way, and the existing solution with tgcli is too old (I also have a PoC which logs message edits from Android client via Xposed, but its implemented on top of UI level and is ineffective)
I need to receive edits/deletion of messages, and do it with client Telegram API.
Spent a day on researching it:
support for editing messages appeared in May 15, 2016 (telegram blog)
telegram-cli's tgl library is 2 years old and most likely has no support for that layer
I looked into telegramdesktop source as it was very promising, unfortunately their git history has no scheme changes poiting to edit support.
And the official layer version list is truncated. Security via obscurity eh.
from some tests done with golang library used in shelomentsevd/telegramgo, edits in supergroup are handled by TL_updateChannelTooLong message
Now I don't want to lose more time picking the libraries/sources. So, I'm asking about the experience with either of the following libraries, I'm looking for exactly one library which will allow to implement the required features fast - for someone who doesn't want to dive deep into MTProto's specifics.
sochix/TLSharp is missing explicit examples about getting edits. Probably would be hard
danog/MadelineProto seems like a good place to start
there are also tdlib, libqtelegram, TelegramAPI
It's much easier to do it in telethon.
Here is a sample code I've put together gathering snippets directly from the docs.
from telethon import TelegramClient, events
API_ID = ...
API_HASH = " ... "
client = TelegramClient('session', api_id=API_ID, api_hash=API_HASH)
#client.on(events.MessageDeleted)
async def handler(event):
# Log all deleted message IDs
for msg_id in event.deleted_ids:
print('Message', msg_id, 'was deleted in', event.chat_id)
#client.on(events.MessageEdited)
async def handler(event):
# Log the date of new edits
print('Message', event.id, 'changed at', event.date)
with client:
client.run_until_disconnected()
Docs for: MessageEdited, MessageDeleted)

System Center Configuration manager Push Notification with read receipents

We need to push Push Pop up notifications for ex: “urgent message to warn users” and also generate a report on the success rate as to how many users in the network received it and read it, how many users did not receive it or did not read it.
Microsoft has suggested to use SCCM Power Schell scripting to send Client notifications with close button to confirm receive.
Is there any other way of accomplishing it through SCCM without any customization?
Have you considered pushing a VBScript to all clients which displays the message? If the user clicks "OK" to say they've read and understood the message then it could exit with a return code of 0, otherwise it could return a 1. It's then trivial to report each computer's success result in SCCM.

How to get test agent's state and queue length

does a codedui tests agent exposes an api to get information
about it's status in real time?
if so where can i find details about it and purhapse code examples?
edit:
i've found a way to get some information on test agent via command line (link in the comment section),
still would love to know id there's an api to enable other types or actions, specifically restarting the agent
Looks like there is a lot of functionality to be accessed through TestAgentConfig.exe. I found an MSDN blog post that goes into some details on the feature.
Specifically, to start or stop the agent: "Start/Stop service - sc \machinename stop vsttagent ; sc \machinename start vsttcontroller. If the agent and controller are in different domain, you can use IP instead of machine name."
