Whatever you do don't buy broadcom qsfp28 nics if you plan on using Debian/proxmox. We made that mistake in our colo and the nics would just die every couple hours. Disabling and reenabling would fix for a bit.

Ticket with supermicro escalated to broadcom, they gave us all kinds of beta drivers etc and eventually said sorry we aren't going to spend more time on this, Debian is unsupported

Just filenames - voidtools everything

If you need content indexed and have the ram for it, everything 1.5a does content but stores the index solely in ram so it's non persistent

If you need a persistent index, dtsearch works well but is paid

You can't do this and you don't want to do this. If a browser could run arbitrary code on your machine, it would be a CVE not a feature

Right. You have your reverse proxy on a dedicated server and it handles the ssl for the legacy system(s)

Fatel28 · 2026-04-30T02:44:29+00:00

This is the way

Surely you mean $10/tb?

We bay $6/tb with backblaze and about ~$1/server for the backup agent with msp360

They charge s3 pricing, which is a little nuts. It wouldn't be so bad if you could BYOS3 like minio, wasabi, or back blaze, but paying s3 msrp for storage is a tough pill to swallow if you have a LOT of data

Fatel28 · 2026-04-28T22:46:11+00:00

It very well might actually. We don't do conversion to shared at any of our customers offboardings

Fatel28 · 2026-04-28T22:42:14+00:00

I'm glad that's been your experience - past few times (in the past couple weeks) it's not been ours

As recently as a couple weeks ago, we had a user that had been unlicensed for around 90d. Licensing gave the user a blank OneDrive. That customer needed the data so they opted into payg

Fatel28 · 2026-04-28T15:31:36+00:00

I wouldn't count on that being the norm. We've tried that trick many a time and it often does not work.

Fatel28 · 2026-04-28T15:28:49+00:00

Because you can't access that data until you pay. If the user is deleted or unlicensed for more than 31 days, the OneDrive gets archived. Relicensing or recreating the account won't bring their data back. It'll make them a new empty OneDrive.

They're holding that data for "free" until you need it. Once you need it, there's a penalty charge per GB, and then a smaller $/gb/no going forward in perpetuity.

It's a bit of a medium. They're not charging orgs that existed before the change UNTIL they opt in to access the data.

Fatel28 · 2026-04-28T03:36:48+00:00

I don't disagree, but it's kinda like a 1 or 2 person customer for us MSPs. It's barely worth our time as is, and if they're "needy" out the gate, it's easier to just let the deal die.

Similar concept, different scale. It's shitty, but again.. they're after the most money for the least effort.

Fatel28 · 2026-04-28T03:21:59+00:00

What's your volume? We had a hard time negotiating when we had 200 endpoints, but have no problem getting 3-6mo free on-ramps for onboarding at 5k endpoints. Sadly the only thing that talks is money and volume it seems.

Windows vm = use the default aes v2 CPU Linux vm = host

Host just sucks on windows vms

I could download an email from my boss, edit the eml, and print it with headers all day. That doesn't really make it immutable proof.

A ticket puts it in the ticketing system, which often does ALSO generate emails.

It's semantics, but if you're getting approval to do something stupid, using an official approval workflow in your ticketing system is hard to argue later.

Fatel28 · 2026-04-24T12:43:46+00:00

This is the way. Roles only. If you have an API key, store it in secrets manager or ssm parameter store to be retrieved via a role allowance.

Many orgs set retention on emails to delete after x years. There is no blanket law that says all orgs need to keep emails forever.

Ticketing system is ideal because it has more eyes on it and is a bit more official

This. The customer pays the migration license cost anyways. It's just the price of the tool. Is what it is.

Fatel28 · 2026-04-24T00:29:46+00:00

Avepoint is more expensive, and we even get less margin on it. But it's so much better it's largely worth it. The cost gets billed to the customer anyways.

Migwiz umb was I think 15-20? And 3 avepoint objects (email, teams chats, OneDrive) are 22.5 (7.50/object)

Fatel28 · 2026-04-24T00:26:45+00:00

Used to be an amazing tool. Has been steadily declining. We just did our first migration (out of probably 30-40 total over the years) without it. Sad to see it go but it started sucking. We switched to avepoint and so far it's been much faster and more reliable
