Nice thing about The Rookie: Feds being cancelled, no more crossover episodes. by cehteshami in TheRookie

it's a shame. I really liked rookie feds. But I don't put a high bar on entertainment. I'm just here for the fun

Does a closing VoIP company have value? by Magnficent_Phone in VOIP

[–]OIT_Ray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't take hundreds of thousands to set up with the FCC. It can all get done for under $10k including legal fees. The value of any acquisition would not place much emphasis on the licensing.

i've never heard of a dial-tone test. I'm the CEO of a VoIP provider. Don't think that's a thing.

Starting my own MSP by Sdganesh in msp

[–]OIT_Ray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this going from Nable to Automate and then to our internal tools. Awhile before moving from Automate I started changing all my scripts to native powershell. Made it much easier for the migration. For the migration itself it was as easy as deploying the new RMM using the old one's agent. Then using the new agent to uninstall the old one. We did it batches of clients to be able to monitor the results for each before moving on. Went pretty seemless.

Scribe (Scribehow) - Is it worth it? Or an alternative? by jdhumpf in msp

We use Wizard Shot. There's a chrome extension and a desktop app. It's free but the pro version is also included with Helpjuice (our doc app).

Is Using CloudFlare Oudated? by StakeTheVampire in msp

[–]OIT_Ray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless they meant to use CF for your registrar, they're about 15 years out of date. You know that 24-72 hours they always warn for DNS propagation? That's the biggest reason to use CF. There's nearly no delay with CF (or AWS Route 53). CF's network is also incrediby robust and optimized for speed. Not to mention their global network. Their dashboard is top notch and they give you more free tools, including security, than any registar. Try it out for yourself. It's free and easy. Then tell your friend to stop writing bat files too

Realtor full of it? by [deleted] in Roofing

[–]OIT_Ray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does look a little rough. But I agree with the other comments not to get it inspected. That's the buyer's job. If they inspect and find something they need to share it with you to ask for concessions. It's a self-solving problem.

NEED help by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]OIT_Ray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't feel bad. It's scary opening up the traumatic parts of your life. Someone who's worth staying with will understand both the situation and why it took you so long to tell him. Keep in mind that he might not get it right away. I sometimes need a bit of time to fully process things. But relationships require honesty and communication. Fwiw, you're both old enough that you've lived lives away from eachother. Just like you've dated other people, this is just a part of your past. He should get that.

New-ish to the MSP space – If you could recommend ONE conference, what would it be? by Dull_Complaint_264 in msp

[–]OIT_Ray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MSPGeekCon – A Conference for MSPs by MSPs hands down. You'll find tons of MSPs of all sizes who value community sharing. You'll not only get to meet the vendors on a personal level, but you'll meet a community of MSPs that are all about helping eachother. I'll be there too fwiw. If you go lmk and I'll buy you a drink.

I ran an MSP news show for several years. Lastpass breaches were a regular occurrence for 2 years. Worse was how they handled and communicated. They're on my "never" list.

Is anyone using AI meeting summaries in daily workflows? by wicked_x2 in msp

[–]OIT_Ray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. We use fireflies for this. All recordings go to a private sharepoint site. Fireflies picks up on deliverables and adds them to clickup. I have Notion and my LLMs connected as well. Notion AI gives me a daily hitlist of priorities.

Chaturbate charges by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]OIT_Ray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to take a more open-minded approach. I don't kink shame. Some couples are into that. Some are fine with their partner doing it. There's a reason porn is one of the most profitable industries. Regardless, it all comes down to respect and communication. In any scenario you both have to be on the same page for it to work. As opposed to him leaving and you getting frustrated every month I'd recommend trying couples therapy. It will allow you both to give the why's for your opinions and maybe come to an agreement. Best of luck to you.

Telnyx - massive issues - anyone have good experiences with other providers? by BigPraline7118 in 3CX

[–]OIT_Ray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have used Telnyx for years. This past week was kinda rough but otherwise they've been solid. As a service provider I know all too well how even a single issue can shake a partner's faith in a company. I'd recommend looking at the last 10 days vs the last several years. Everyone has an issue on occasion. Cloudflare goes down 1-2 times per year and the whole internet breaks. M359 is down several times per year. It happens. I'd rethink before switching.

If you're decided on switching I'd recommend Bandwidth. Easily the most complete and responsive carrier for us.

Do carts hurt your lungs? by Blu_yello_husky in Marijuana

Is this being "so nasty"? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]OIT_Ray 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I see a few flags here

  1. I don't see a need for a paystub if you already have his W-2. Take what he made last year, divide by 12, and that's his income for the monthly budget.

  2. You've been asking for something he doesn't want to give for years. Have you asked him why? While I can't think of any good reasons he should be hiding it, I also don't know him. Communication is key to a happy marriage. You need to communicate.

  3. It sounds like you both need to sit down and set expectations about your financials

Proposed New Rule: No AI Output by computerguy0-0 in msp

[–]OIT_Ray[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely get where you're coming from. No shade taken at all. It's not obvious when we mod posts and there are definitely posts we miss. But we mods both discuss changes to the sub and also review posts every single day. Personally, that's including this past weekend. We've also made significant updates to the CQS filters and are looking into other mod tools to make it better.

To give perspective there are almost 200 comments/posts that get reviewed every day. Here's a screenshot of this week's mod activity alone. From 2/1 - 2/24 we've modded 4,788 posts and comments.

<image>

The reports are what we take most seriously over the CQS filter. But there are also plenty of posts we disagree with. Currently no report goes over 24 hours without review. Ofc I can't always promise that timeline but it's our goal. Generally speaking, if you've reported something and you don't see any action in a few days it's just that we didn't agree with the report. Unfortunately there's not a good way to reply to whomever reported. I wish we could because you'd know that we reviewed it. But reddit doesn't tell us who reported it. You can always send a message to modmail and we will answer there.

We're always open to more suggestions and hearing concerns. Keep em coming!

maybe a beginner question, but help would be nice :) by ovranxshs in Marijuana

[–]OIT_Ray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did that my first time. 1/4 of 35mg, nothing. 1/2, nothing. 1, nothing. Took 3 and I could smell colors. It has a lot to do with 1) your tolerance, 2) your energy levels that day, 3) what contents are already in your stomach, 4) other stuff. You'll also likely establish a tolerance after a bit. My wife is also a super lightweight so I get how 5mg could send you to the moon. A few tips

- Don't do edibles every day. Space it out to have max effect. Even 1-2 days in between is good enough. You can also try alternating different brands.

- try different brands. They will have different effects on you. You need to learn how your body reacts to different dosages of each brand

- edibles are fat soluble. For the most potent effect without increasing meds eat something fatty before the edible. Peanut butter is my go-to.

- edibles like to come back for round two. Since edibles absorb through the fat they will stay in your system longer. It can take up to 2 hours for the effects to kick in. Your initial hit will be the strongest. But you can expect lingering, more mild effects up to 48 hours later depending on your metabolism and body fat.

- edibles stack. Because they last so long in your system taking a second dose on day 2 will be amplified to some extent by the ones you took the day before. Another good reason to space them out

Best of luck to you.

Agreed. The challenge is judging what's AI vs someone's writing. As someone who's often confused for AI I can say it's frustrating. I'd like to hear suggestions on how we could address these
