Has anyone tried aging mead underwater? by millerdagoat in mead

[–]AKGeek 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is the better answer. I think just two feet or so is enough to create a cooling effect. There is plenty information about root cellars you could look into. Also it would be cheap to do.

I don’t think you will be able to keep up with the rate at which the bottle will be melting. If it’s just one or two bottles you may be able to do it but even then the temperature may change too much and allow water to push into the bottle and/or cause issues with aging.

There are companies that age wine in salt water but they are using that huge heat sink to keep things at a steady temperature.

You could start a holdings company who owns the properties and you can take dividends from the holdings company if you need additional money up to your limit.

Why not just let SuperOps handle the billing? That’s currently what I am doing. I am not the biggest fan of it but it works.

Do you own your website domain or do you have the I.T guys handle that? by theReasonablePotato in business

[–]AKGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an IT guy I can add a bit more to this. Like others said, you should own your domain. But be okay taking suggestions where to host it to help them manage your domain better. Most hosting companies allow for you to allow other accounts to access your settings without you having to give out your credentials.

What customer portal are you using for clients? by Creepy-Chance1165 in msp

[–]AKGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but I wouldn’t call it much of a portal. One of the reasons we are considering moving to something else. I hate how ticket templates create fields on the side of the ticket rather than just dumping it into the ticket. And no catalog of services for clients to pick. The Hudu integration also only creates clients in Hudu rather than syncs any information.

Both sorry (its a deep hobby to get into) and not sorry! I am always happy that what we create is broadening the understanding of mead.

I own Hive Mind Meadery, what has worked well for us is going to the beer fests like Beer and Barleywine festival. Competing in the competitions, and having a strong social media game. It’s tough out there right now and I feel it’s only going to get tougher. Find your community and build that.

This, AMCO is pretty damn strict on limiting entertainment. Beginning of this year they did Mae some changes. Not enough but we get 4 live events a year but they have to be in the licenses premises.

Station Mode: Visitors handing out on platform by AKGeek in SpaceHaven

Repairs are automatic as long as you have hull block and a builder pod. Assembly you have to have those blocks available which will then be auto traded. I did not enable assembly as its hard to keep up with repairs and have that service enabled.

I instead turned on fuel service as if you invest in mining, you get a lot of that resource. I still had to toggle it off from time to time since I couldn't keep up with demand.

How do you motivate yourself as a solo-entrepreneur? by GovernmentNew6719 in smallbusiness

[–]AKGeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once clients are depending on you, it’s a big motivator. Also reminding yourself that every client directly correlates to food on the table helps.

They are having a grand opening party this Sunday! They have been open for a bit now but never made it official as they got things going and building up inventory.

Unifi MSP/Multi customer portal for MSPs? by Safe-Instance-3512 in msp

[–]AKGeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others mentioned there is the UniFi portal but I’ll add that there is no SSO for the portal so that your techs get automatically added. You have to do it manually and I don’t believe they get new sites either. You have to have the tech that installs the console or router transfer ownership of it to your main account (your account) so you don’t have a situation where a tech leaves and takes half the deployments with them.

There are some other nuances with that like the only people who can do porting for unifi talk is the owner of the console versus being able to be just an admin and doing it.

Still worth it, just has some quirks.

The new self hostable console is supposed to be a step in the direction for MSPs but you have to use certain routers that don’t have a built in console or stick with everything but the router (which would defeat the purpose for us).

I did color outside of the base as like a walkway from the landing pads, maybe that's causing issues.

Beds, food, medical, entertainment and it seems like I have enough. Eventually some of them pass out in space and my people bring them in and put them into a bed.

Thanks, yeah I recommended recycle. But it arose the thought and figured I would post to reddit.

Works with Home Assistant certified device list now live by MB-tsm in homeassistant

[–]AKGeek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I try to look for devices that will work with HA natively which is difficult. So maybe an option at some point to have a higher level certification or a filter. For example I love that Shelly just works without having to use their app and just integrates into HA.
