Oct 03 11:46:26 <dreamer> does anyone have experience with blocking phone numbers?
Oct 03 11:46:37 <dreamer> I see there is a daemon called Callerx, does it work?
Oct 03 11:48:15 <KotCzarny> i'm using pycallblocker
Oct 03 11:48:27 <KotCzarny> it seems to work fine (sometimes need prodding tho)
Oct 03 11:48:48 <dreamer> prodding how?
Oct 03 11:50:10 <KotCzarny> entering the config and adding/removing something
Oct 03 11:50:30 <KotCzarny> seems that it can forget to load list on device boot
Oct 03 11:53:28 <bencoh> meh :/
Oct 03 12:06:08 <dreamer> I see callerx has a gui. I'm a sucker for guis. so will try that one first :P
Oct 03 12:06:21 <dreamer> (it's a bit newer than pycallblocker too, so who knows it's maybe more stable ;) )
Oct 03 12:06:44 <KotCzarny> pycallblocker has ui too
Oct 03 12:10:31 <dreamer> ok, well too late :P
Oct 03 12:10:42 <dreamer> if I still get stalked by this one number I'll give pycallblocker a try ;)
Oct 03 12:11:38 <sixwheeledbeast> callerx worked better for me
Oct 03 12:12:33 <sixwheeledbeast> There can be a delay in call blocking if the system is under load
Oct 03 12:12:42 <KotCzarny> yup
Oct 03 12:13:12 <sixwheeledbeast> So you can experience 3 rings before blocking on the first call
Oct 03 12:13:35 <sixwheeledbeast> assuming the blocked number calls you a number of times in a row
Oct 03 12:14:58 <sixwheeledbeast> If it's spam I would normally report to telco, if it's just someone yo don't wish to speak to or filter callerx works ok.
Oct 03 12:17:01 <KotCzarny> here they usually use indetifiable voip range
Oct 03 12:17:12 <KotCzarny> so easy to differentiate from random calls
Oct 03 12:17:20 <KotCzarny> *identifiable
Oct 03 12:19:20 <bencoh> /60/60
Oct 03 12:19:39 <sixwheeledbeast> I also tie really annoying calls in with per custom ringtone to have a silent ringtone. Just because i use that
Oct 03 14:16:16 <Vajb> dreamer: I use callerx. It has nice feature. If you reboot your phone you need to do disable-enable in gui. Otherwise it will block all calls
Oct 03 14:17:02 <Vajb> but I use it in whitelist mode. If number is not in my list, it'll be blocked
Oct 03 14:19:47 <sixwheeledbeast> Vajb: IIRC that issue seems to only happen with whitelist mode.
Oct 03 14:20:40 <sixwheeledbeast> I prefer blacklist myself, you never know who may need to call
Oct 03 14:22:51 <Vajb> yeah I thought so and included in my comment after a thought
Oct 03 14:23:23 <KotCzarny> so callerx needs prodding too?
Oct 03 14:23:23 <Vajb> nowadays I keep it off since spamming has degreased a lot
Oct 03 14:23:50 <Vajb> might as well purge it, but then who knows
Oct 03 14:42:00 <dreamer> Vajb: oh, that sounds pretty bad .. so it doesn't load the blacklist but just blocks everything? o.O
Oct 03 14:46:19 <sixwheeledbeast> IIRC on boot it seems to think you are in blacklist mode but your whitelist is loaded.
Oct 03 15:01:10 <Vajb> dreamer: it loads blacklist I guess, but I used whitelist mode
