Buenas! Llevo casi 3 días peleando con asterisk y no logro hacerlo entrar en razón. Intento configurarlo para WebRTC pero no ha podido ser jajaja. Lo más a lo que he llegado es a establecer una llamada pero no escucho nada en el cliente web, tampoco puedo llamar a otros clientes o extensiones desde él. En Asterisk dice que todo está en orden, pero no me termina de ir bien. Alguien ha tenido experiencias con Asterisk y WebRTC? el transporte por UDP funciona bien, eso sí.

A US Marine, traveling home after a tour of Iraq just before Thanksgiving, boarded an extremely overcrowded Amtrak train heading west from Penn Station. He searched up and down the carriages for a seat, but the only one available was being occupied by a fancy French woman’s poodle.

The Marine coughed politely and said,
“Ma’am, would you please place your dog on the floor so I can sit down?”

Without even looking up, she sniffed and muttered,
“You Americans are so very rude. Can’t you see my little girl Trixy-Woo is using that seat?”

Exhausted, the Marine walked the length of the train again - still no seat. He returned and asked once more,
“Please, ma’am. I’m really tired. Could you move your dog so I can sit?”

She laughed and said loudly,
“Not only are you Americans rude, but also pig-headed and arrogant as well!”

That was it.

As the train had not yet left the station, the Marine picked up the poodle, dropped it out the window onto the platform, and sat down.

The woman shrieked, “Is there any man here who will defend my honor? This American thug must be put in his place!”

A well-dressed, refined Englishman sitting nearby calmly looked up and said to the Marine,
“Sir, I find you Americans do many things the wrong way. You prefer coffee over tea, drive on the wrong side of the road… and now it seems -

You’ve thrown the wrong bitch out the window.”

The U.S. Department of Justice said Sunday it is investigating a group of protesters in Minnesota who disrupted services at a church where a local official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement apparently serves as a pastor.
A livestreamed video posted on the Facebook page of Black Lives Matter Minnesota -- one of the protest’s organizers -- shows a group of people interrupting services at the Cities Church in St. Paul by chanting
“ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good.”
The 37-year-old mother of three was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis earlier this month amid a surge in federal immigration enforcement activities.
The protesters allege that one of the church’s pastors
— David Easterwood
— also leads the local ICE field office overseeing the operations that have involved violent tacticsand illegal arrests.

Nekima Levy Armstrong,
who participated in the protest and leads the local grassroots civil rights organization
"Racial Justice Network",
dismissed the potential DOJ investigation as a sham and a distraction from federal agents’ actions in Minneapolis-St. Paul.

“When you think about the federal government unleashing barbaric ICE agents upon our community
and all the harm that they have caused,
to have someone serving as a pastor who oversees these ICE agents, is almost unfathomable to me,”
said Armstrong,
who added she is an ordained reverend.

“If people are more concerned about someone coming to a church on a Sunday and disrupting business as usual than they are about the atrocities that we are experiencing in our community,
then they need to check their theology and they need to check their hearts.”
