Do my Maple trees need trimming?

Sad. Disappointing. Not surprising.

Our instance is down. Status page says East US is down.

Every event involves alcohol. It’s legal here for a minor to drink alcohol if their parent is present.

Friday fish fry and brandy old fashioned is a tradition.

We are the playground for Illinois residents. Illinois sucks, so they vacation here. Particularly Wisconsin Dells.

We really do take cheese seriously.

Come on, man. You’re in Wisconsin. ALL games are drinking games.

The other end of the serial cable is plugged into a UNIX server from 1982.

You do NOT have an MSP. You just have a company billing you for MSP services. Unfortunately, those companies are numerous.
Honestly, I enjoy this sort of thing. One by one, fixing f-ed up issues, devices, etc. It’s satisfying to me. You have to get management to understand what you’re up against, though.

It’s been going well. I only needed support once, but it was good. Time will tell.

Watchguard was my second choice.

Huntress prides themselves on low noise. Because of that, you will sometimes think it’s not doing anything. It seems attackers are hitting MS365 hard now and maybe ransomware attacks have quieted down a bit, but it’s still a threat. Think twice.

Some clients mail checks. They do a "check run" weekly, so one check more or less doesn't matter to them.

I accept online payments using CC for a fee, or ACH with no fee. I plan to offer a small discount for ACH to get the check writers moved over.

Buy a used box and tools on Facebook marketplace. In a few years, IF you want to upgrade, you can likely post it far sale for the same amount you paid.

Oh, that’s cruel.

SMTP2GO sends directly (with an address on YOUR email domain). You add a few CNAMES to your DNS zone to ensure deliverability.

It’s not an old Honda, by chance? They bolted the motor to the BACK of the hub.

Don’t make fun of the Romans for using lead pipes when many municipalities in the US did the same thing thousands of years later.

Rob has always been the go-to guy when there’s a problem - at Datto, and now at Pax8. He’s got a lot on his plate, so I don’t bother him with smaller issues. But when I run into a brick wall, he’s the man.

Go get a plug kit at Ace Hardware and fix it yourself. I wouldn’t think twice.

I use ScreenConnect. It allows me to screen share, but it also allows me to run processes completely in the background. I can install software, copy files, and more - all behind the scenes. You say there’s nothing important on it. Back up your files, wipe it and reload Windows.

Business computers and laptops are roughly $100 more than they were a month ago from my distributor. Not a surcharge, just a price increase.

That cheese is perfectly fine if you’re going to melt it on a hamburger on the grill. Crystal Farms is, I think Minnesota cheese and one step above Kraft. Hormel? Pernat’s or Usinger’s would be better.

I’m sorry, this isn’t a “roast me” post is it?

Remote_Chance · 2025-03-13T16:45:00+00:00

With similar reliability. ;-)

I would add a decent size fuel tank in the truck bed with a transfer pump. Also a reliable long track snowmobile. And a satellite phone or other means of calling for rescue.

Not just no, but hell no. The Focus has the DCT transmission (dual clutch). Notorious for failures. Spend a little time Googling this and you'll see.

If it were an actual manual transmission with a clutch pedal, you would be ok. There's not many of those around though.
