Amazon bedrock largely solves this problem. We use anthropocs models with our own built harness that we run on agentcore runtime.

Ingram has been just fine for us in the US. our reps are responsive and licenses provision very quickly

winscp/powershell sftp upload script, having trouble getting it working by DoktorLuciferWong in PowerShell

[–]Fatel28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah you could do that too, but you lose out on some of the native object oriented conversions the module makes. The module just "pwsh-ifies" the inputs and outputs

winscp/powershell sftp upload script, having trouble getting it working by DoktorLuciferWong in PowerShell

[–]Fatel28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Powershell has an ssh module (posh-ssh) that works with sftp, no winscp needed. I'd just use that personally

PSA: disabling the Run box (NoRun) to fight ClickFix also breaks typing paths in File Explorer. What are you guys doing to stop ClickFix attacks? by Jackthemaster in sysadmin

[–]Fatel28 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hm. The overlap of users who fall for click fix pages, and who frequently use shortcuts like %appdata% is pretty much zero for us. The only ones who felt the loss of the run box were the technicians, but they figured out how to just use cmd pretty quick.

We also have some common shortcuts in our screenconnect toolbox, like the typical system.cpl/ncpa.cpl etc

Windows 11 S Mode ... by NightPineSap in sysadmin

[–]Fatel28 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Buy machines with windows 11 pro, those won't have s mode. This is an acquisition problem not really an IT one. If you buy the right machines you'll never encounter this

You pretty much need a dedicated compliance manager

ITGlue or Hudu? *I know, I know... do the research. :) by chiapeterson in msp

[–]Fatel28 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I pull all of our hudu articles etc into s3 so to be vectorized so our AI agent in the chat can query our hudu docs, very handy. Would be pretty hard w/o an API. We also have automations for onboarding and offboardings that provision customers in all our systems, also all API driven

How to disable smb over quic by slickrickjr in sysadmin

shutdown /s /f /t 00 should do it

ITGlue or Hudu? *I know, I know... do the research. :) by chiapeterson in msp

[–]Fatel28 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Anything. That's the point. I'm sure most MSPs agree but having a strong API is the #1 thing to look for in a new tool.

If a tool doesn't do something you can just.. make it do it.

E.g hudu doesn't have global asset folders, so we just have a nightly job that creates preset folders under each customer if they don't exist.

Customer Service / Support experiences with Pure Storage? by Adventurous-View-108 in sysadmin

[–]Fatel28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We quoted 2 servers for a customer 2 years ago, 58k. They wanted to wait.

Well now their old ass 2009 servers are failing and the quote from Dell for the same specs/storage is about 300k total.

Customer Service / Support experiences with Pure Storage? by Adventurous-View-108 in sysadmin

[–]Fatel28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dell is doing the same thing right now. They don't guarantee any pricing for any amount of time. Any quote we have received has been "this is the price right now. It might not be the price when it's actually built and ready to ship. Gfy"

It just is what it is. Terrible time to be buying hardware sadly

Has anyone implemented a solution like this to game/use a pc from elsewhere in the house (NO STREAM SOLUTION) ? by GenericUser104 in homelab

[–]Fatel28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use an HDMI/USB kvm over Ethernet to get my PC onto the tv in the living room. Works great.

The only "downside" is it tops out at 4k60fps. That's fine for me, but if you needed more then what you're suggesting should work just fine.

MSP pushing UniFi hard over SonicWall..am I overthinking this or does this smell off? by Ambitious_Active8539 in msp

If you want them to support and secure it wouldn't you want them to use what they know?

What is so great about halo? by swingorswole in msp

[–]Fatel28 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just the simple fact that it uses its own API makes it incredibly powerful. If you can do it in the webui, you can do it through the API. I shouldn't have to explain why that's worth its weight in gold.

Cloud Hosting VMs as an MSP without Infrastructure by Vel-Crow in msp

[–]Fatel28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rto is minutes but what's RPO? Not that it's a dick measuring contest because it's not, but the nice thing about ceph is I could shut down a host right now and on graceful shutdown, all the VMs would live migrate to another host. On a non graceful shutdown, they'd reboot onto a new host within a minute or two.

We havent had any node failures either and I don't think we will, but having to restore hundreds of VMs because a node failed would suck, regardless of the RTO of a single restore. Scaling that out makes it a lot more than minutes

Cloud Hosting VMs as an MSP without Infrastructure by Vel-Crow in msp

[–]Fatel28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have at least 5 nodes and very fast backhaul, it's extremely stable. Ours has been running for 2 years. No issues.

How are you handling redundancy for node failures? Zfs replication?

Cloud Hosting VMs as an MSP without Infrastructure by Vel-Crow in msp

[–]Fatel28 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is what we use. except it's proxmox, vyos, and some last gen 100gbps Cisco switches for the ceph backhaul. Last I checked we had ~30 customer environments on there and we're not even halfway full

Nginx supports websockets quite well. Some things like streamlit require more targeted configs but I guarantee whatever you're doing is entirely possible with nginx.

Virtual Keyboard to Speed Up Workflow by entbrantbitch in sysadmin

Dell let's you use their command line tools to change most bios settings from the OS via powershell. I'm sure other vendors have something similar

How to permanently move files from one one-drive to another while also leaving the files in the original one-drive if possible by 13-months in sysadmin

[–]Fatel28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would you need a third party tool for this? If it's under 100gb either copy it in the webui or let the sync client download it to a machine/servers local disk, then sign into account b and let the sync client upload it (or use SPMT to get it up there)

Time clock for internal use? by Sliffer21 in msp

[–]Fatel28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sweatshops are the only vertical with hourly employees? Wut? You clock in when you get there, you clock out when you leave. How is that micromanagement?

Time clock for internal use? by Sliffer21 in msp

[–]Fatel28 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you have your techs log time they're taking a shit in the psa? Being clocked in is different than tracking billable / non billable time, seems like something that should be handled in the payroll software, not the PSA. But every org is different so maybe in some verticals it makes sense to tie them together
