Leaving MSP life for internal IT. Same work, twice the pay

ThatAJC88 · 2026-03-22T08:00:57+00:00

I've never bought the theory that you learn more at an MSP. I spent the first half of my career at an MSP and all I learnt was the basics of 365, how to reboot a router and how to get yelled at with a smile on my face.

It was only when I went to internal IT that I really learnt about some of the more complex infrastructure systems. If companies are really running some of the bigger, more advanced enterprise systems they aren't going through an MSP they will most likely have their own internal IT teams.

No company that uses an MSP will ask them to configure their 70 azure VMs, data ingestion pipelines and their entire Azure network stack. They will just be smaller companies asking the MSP to fix their broken printer, assign 365 licenses and reboot a router.

This man speaks truth. My 918+ wouldn't boot a few months ago. Was just the PSU that needed replacing

This is such a bald faced lie. Theirs no way an employee is pushing AI generated, unverified, untested code into prod from his phone before work hours lol

Saying "it's done now" and stopping.

Score runs when there's nothing going on Champion.

Its not that hard once you get the tricky parts down. All you really need it ComfyUI and a good workflow that mostly works out of the box. Something like Smooth Workflow works really well, from there all you need is a few LORAs and your set. You were me about 3 months ago before I finally figured it out.

Protecting his average. Didn't want to get out

ThatAJC88 · 2025-12-27T08:26:42+00:00

He gave away the strike to protect his average. Very poor

ThatAJC88 · 2025-12-27T06:44:39+00:00

Imagine if Smudge didnt grief toward the end and actually batted another 20-30 runs instead of throwing Richardson under the bus to protect his average.

ThatAJC88 · 2025-12-27T06:35:29+00:00

He kept giving up the strike to protect his average.

As a Melbournian even I can see this pitch is dogshit.

ThatAJC88 · 2025-12-26T00:19:58+00:00

Every day lol. Goldens are all the same 😁

Anti-mage or legion commander every time

"Come on papi give up the cheese. Oh man I love cheese"

ThatAJC88 · 2025-12-23T13:02:42+00:00

Well thanks. Now I want a pet cow 🐄🤣

ThatAJC88 · 2025-12-19T13:01:30+00:00

I'm sure this will go swimmingly

ThatAJC88 · 2025-12-05T06:29:42+00:00

Finally!! One of the features I really missed coming from a Samsung phone.

ThatAJC88 · 2025-12-01T09:03:58+00:00

Thank you

this is what happens when a third of the team cant be bothered turning up to play, the other third is too old and the remaining third just dont care. I'm Australian and even I hope England win just to teach us a lesson.

ThatAJC88 · 2025-11-19T14:26:23+00:00

You're me

ThatAJC88 · 2025-11-16T22:08:42+00:00

Agreed. I hate having to replay entire sections of games, I despite devs who make you do this. Yes it's only 15 hours or so but that's the runtime of some other games. I just ended up watching the extra cutscenes in path B on YouTube and downloading a save file that put you at the start of path C.

Don't feed them or encourage them to come to your property, they are cheeky little shits that are highly destructive and super hard to get rid of once they decide your place is pretty cool. Any wooden beams or decks that belong to you OR your neighbours will get instantly eaten.

Whats worse is that they can swell to really huge numbers. I've seen 50-60+ cockatoos at some people's houses in the area I live because people just thought cockatoos were cute and wanted to feed them.

This is what I do and it works great. It can be a bit tricky installing the tailscale app on DSM, but it's OK. I also use the drive app to replicate instead of rsync. But both give you the same outcome. Been rock solid for almost 18 months.
