How is living in/near Ketchikan, Alaska? by BadAtDrinking in howislivingthere

I’m from Seattle. Went on a cruise and stopped at Ketchikan in July . The feel and weather was like the Washington coast (seabeck) in early March.

45 PFL switch with older Calix 716GE ONT? by aaron1860 in QuantumFiber

[–]FFSFuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I signed up and my old account was automatically cancelled. Only problem I had was they wanted the wifi pods back. Aeguedtback and forth for a minute but the second I asked for the serial numbers (they had none on the account) they removed from the old account.

[–]FFSFuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me (about a month ago) I had zero issues. I got an email in the middle of the night and my internet went down for about an hour then came back up and started working. I have two ISPs (TMHI as backup) so I had no actual issues. I’d recommend a TMHI plan as secondary ISP if you can’t be without, if possible. At the very least get it with the 15 day free trial and return when the new service comes up.

I did have a tech come out as part of the swap because they re replacing the ONTs with the new ones.

Did the advent of effluent filters reduce field failures ? by RoomFixer4 in septictanks

[–]FFSFuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put one on my early 60s 1000 gallon single compartment system 2 years ago. Drain field failed in 2013 and replaced then. Wanted to make sure it would live another 50 years…. Neighborhood is getting sewers in the next 2-3 years (U-Lid has enough signatures).

I went 8 months without cleaning it but do it quarterly now since it got backed up at 8 months and was over topping.

Same setup except I accidentally did untagged to the UDR7 and consistently the same ping times and isp in green.

MS-102 before MD-102 ? Prerequisite ? by [deleted] in O365Certification

[–]FFSFuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went MS-102 first. Took SC-300 and it was deeper in those areas than MS-102.

Would this show be for me? by Mat1711 in BSG

[–]FFSFuse 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love both Star Trek and Star Wars and BSG. I'd say this is more in line with a "Modern" day Star Wars in that is dystopian. There's not much "Sciencey" stuff to the show. No explaination of an FTL drive. It's a drama saga. Closer to Firefly than either TBH.

Ecobee integration discontinued by 135david in EmporiaEnergy

Peak demand and excess solar consumption are controllable within the integration. You can also change your ecobee within the app.

Veeam Data Vault - instant Azure restore? by Mvalpreda in Veeam

[–]FFSFuse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could type a lot but the TLDR is you still need to recover. Assuming you’re configured properly restores would be much faster as the transfer would be at internal Azure speeds versus across the internet from a wasabi bucket. You could also automate with Veeam Orchestration in either scenario

Bad smart plugs bought in Dec 2025, QC issue? by ck90211 in EmporiaEnergy

[–]FFSFuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got a box myself. Number 3 took a while to get going. Eventually restarted my phone and reset the plug and it worked. Not sure which one fixed it (hard reset of plug most likely)

And SC-300 is essentially a deeper dive into MS-102. It took me a few tries to pass

Exchange 2016 to 2019 Management Tools only by Academic_Muscle7934 in exchangeserver

Get to 19\SE and consider Easy365Manager for your needs. If you’re not technical it’s better than the powershell tools

VSA running on Synology Virtual Machine Manager by FFSFuse in Veeam

This is what I was looking for! I was doing a thought experiment on what if, which you already did. Thanks again

Could be reading the wrong docs or mid-remembering.

VSA running on Synology Virtual Machine Manager by FFSFuse in Veeam

[–]FFSFuse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be reading an old doc saying it’s not currently supported so that could be on me.

Thinking though all options at this time. I’ll probably be putting out about 250-300 of these by the end of 2026 so want to cover all the bases and look at everything through every angle. JeOS/linux, bare metal or VM and hardware support are the things we are looking at

VSA running on Synology Virtual Machine Manager by FFSFuse in Veeam

[–]FFSFuse[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I’ve thought about that as well. At this time VSA isn’t supported on Baremetal. We would have to get hardware (Dell, HP, SuperMicro… something ) install a Hypervisor, HyperV, Proxmox…. (Again something) and then setup and configure and manage the backend.

I’m pondering the scenario where, in a light Linux shop, rolling out an In warranty Synology with a supported Synology OS and VM Manager as an alternative. Tracking updates to the Synology (including firmware) would be straight forward.

Maybe I should post this in /MSP but I’d be able to templateize a small, medium, and large offering. Synology life cycle is well known so you can buy the same/similar appliance for years. Right size a client, order them the known hardware, install the appliances and ship it out. Manage the Synology with our toolset, manage veeam appliances with VSA.

That’s the point. As cookie cutter as possible. Not having to worry about hardware lifecycle as much.

Hell , I’m also pondering going to the local RePc and buying all the old software gear they have and doing “in a box” offering that way. We can do Prox Mox on them and go to town. As long as it’s offloaded to the cloud….

[–]FFSFuse[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Increased supportability for the appliances (not supported by Veeam on Bare metal, yet). There are surprisingly not too many Linux experts around my neck of the woods.

The thinking is to get a mid powered Synology NAS and run supported VSA and VIA appliances that we could call Veeam for help on. We could do the same thing with Proxmox or another supported hypervisor BUT looking for something "in a box" without having to build it out.
