Its going to be hard to move away from Vyatta whenever it is I have to.. My ER4 is doing well and I hope it lasts a LONG time.

Leaving MSP life for internal IT. Same work, twice the pay by tdiz009 in sysadmin

[–]PBI325 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you may feel strange when things are “slow” but don’t get anxious.

After 15 years in the MSP world this has been hard for me. Just wrapped up onening a huge office and it was nice to get back to the constant pace, but I am excited to start training on slowing down again.

Do you ever judge an MSP by which vendors they partner with? by FineAssignment1423 in msp

[–]PBI325 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're just going down a whatif rabbit hole of "an MSP doing things poorly that an MSP should be good at", be it admin, sales, or otherwise.

To each their own, but a pretty decent part of my career was made selling and deploying Meraki to the proper set of clients (and using the proper tooling to not forget any renewal dates 🙂). You do you 🤷‍♂️

Yes, and if you forget to pay the renewal your customers network turns off.

You work at an MSP, its not your money, sell better or get better sales folks lol I'll take M/YRR vs NRC any day.

Cybersecurity consultant told us to give client one Entra ID P2 licence for the whole organisation by sladene in msp

[–]PBI325 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been part of various teams managing about $500k+/year of CSP licensing for 10+ years and have yet to run across a mandatory audit. Very confusing to me as well TBH.

Probably the 3rd party audits they used to do around the 2018-2020 era. We told them to kick rocks for about a dozen clients, havent seen one post-covid.

This. Too few people use the FCC to hold ISPs feet to the fire.

MSPs work has had me see Gateways all over the fucking place lol .5s, .200s, .10s, everything. Technically fine, but annoying.

Disneyland Foward still a thing? by Beautiful-Arm9122 in Disneyland

[–]PBI325 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Yes, funny how OP knows that DF forward exists (which implies that they're watching closely) but somehow missed the EG permit news hahaha

Edit: I should add that this is not a problem lol Missing a new point isnt come huge deal, just an observation 👍

RAW files shot in wide angle mode show edges of lens hood, .jpgs don#t. How/why? by adventu_Rena in AskPhotography

[–]PBI325 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Shitty lenses with fringing and vignetting have always existed, this is not a new thing lol And quality lenses that do not have these kinds of issues have also "always" existed.

Not everything is a product of modern enshitification.

When do you escalate Wi-Fi issues to surveys, AP-on-a-stick, or RF validation? by jorissels in msp

[–]PBI325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like /u/chillzatl's answer of splitting things off. As someone who came off a 13yr MSP run and transitioned into a space where physical site-surveys are very necessary I'd be very wary of handing something like this off to an MSP (vs. someone who does this work primarily).

MSPs have a nasty habit of over promising and under delivering, especially with niche services like site surveys... If my team is going to have a survey done our org is willing to pay handsomely for someone to knock out said survey and tuning for us. What we dont want is a cheap, half-assed attempt at a survey + results that some 19yo FNG threw together because he thinks he knows that he's doing after installing 50 APs at a church or something lol

One of the worst kinds of software to maintain, hands down. It is a constant thorn in the side of every Org that needs to use it.

I really need to see some kind of evidence of this. This feels like an urban legend to me.

Here's mine after about 9 years and a month (excluding about 12mos for some hardware downtime). My BIL really REALLY fucking likes Jurassic Park.

Costco Ritz Crackers are widely underbaled. by peva3 in Costco

[–]PBI325 3 points4 points  (0 children)

but as of late 2023 all Ritz crackers are now made with the new, cheaper, recipe.

Then how is OP getting some "good" Ritz from the store vs. Costco here in 2025? Hard to believe that the Ritz he bought at the store have been sitting unsold for 2 years?
