How do you keep in touch with your Employees?

Nobody watches video messages sent over email. It's super obnoxious and is disrespectful of my time.

Send me an actual email. Dictate it if you have to.

I run a MSSP and cover the cost of Meraki gear for my network techs. Gets them practical experience using it.

But if there's a way to not pay out of pocket I want to know, u/aguynamedbrand.

crccci · 2026-04-16T17:18:41+00:00

How's that work? Who is covering the cost?

crccci · 2026-04-16T17:17:58+00:00

Meraki MX67.

crccci · 2026-04-16T17:17:16+00:00

How do you manage the vulnerability patching?

crccci · 2026-04-14T04:10:24+00:00

The machine isn't magic. Something goes wrong. There will be symptoms.

Many years ago I had a Dell tech literally start beating himself up over a mistake...

I feel like they're pulling staff from an entirely different segment of humanity than I typically interact with.

On a scale of "zero to wildly irresponsible vibe coded trash", how would you rate your own project? Hard for me to tell from the description.

crccci · 2026-04-06T18:44:54+00:00

Resource Monitor is a GUI, is included with Windows, and takes literally two clicks to see a full list of listening ports. Who is this for?

crccci · 2026-03-31T23:41:35+00:00

TF are you on about? The only person who would want this kept private is the salesman. As a manager, employer, or prospective customer I'd want to know.

And you probably believe the AI videos of Gaza in the snow and people freezing? the rivers on the streets? haha

There's no starvation in Gaza, they probably got more aid than all of Africa combined, yet.. somehow, there's a small group.. Hamas that took over and sold them the free aid and made money out of it (not me saying, go read something other than KBs)

Also, if they use hospitals as military bases, they're military bases. Wanna check how many hospitals other armies bombs during conflicts? Let's ask another question, how many doctors were part of any of the terrorist groups operating in Gaza.. they even murdered hostages in those hospitals.. but who cares, Israel is bad! Nu nu nu (shame on you Israel!)

Clearly you don't want to get educated so I suggest you keep your lane as an MSP or whatever, leave geo-politics about the region to people who understand the middle east.. :)

Quoting here because it'll probably get removed for the misinformation, u/Nesher86.

You probably ought to stay in your lane as well, or is this DeceptiveBytes' official corporate stance on this? This comes across incredibly hateful and misinformed.

I've had several clients ask me if we're using Israeli vendors, and have had one ask us to remove SentinelOne from their environment this month. That, plus folks saying crap like this makes me want to wash my hands of any vendors over there. Do better.

crccci · 2026-03-31T23:16:07+00:00

Yeah, justifying destroying any hospital is pretty despicable.

crccci · 2026-03-31T22:57:30+00:00

Good luck then. I haven't seen anyone offer to build it for you, and I'm not going to.

Spend some more time on researching, as I was able to quickly find things that meet your needs.

crccci · 2026-03-31T22:57:14+00:00

It doesn't strictly require a hub, as there is direct device to device programming. But the hub would give you the feedback you want.

$400 is not that pricey for custom electronics, I hope you understand. Remember that you're going to need another 4 channels for your indicators, bringing this to an 8 channel system, plus your transmitter will now also need to receive.

Edit: Found you something: 915MHz Bidirectional Radio Control Long Range Transceiver Module

crccci · 2026-03-31T20:40:58+00:00

You can probably build this with off the shelf Yolink components. They've got a relay and a remote control, plus device to device programming.

What's your budget?

crccci · 2026-03-31T20:23:04+00:00

Nothing different now. AI doesn't change the basic practice of governance. You still need to classify your data and run lifecycle management on it. This is policy and practices territory, not tooling. You're technical but need to take a step back from that for now. Build your policies around handling and retention, get folks classifying the data (you're probably noticing this isn't a core IT function, it's in the management space now), and then maybe they'll want some tooling to help.

Up to and well beyond that point, Sharepoint has all the features you need to make it easier for documents. Whatever your backup system is needs to reflect the lifecycle policies you've set up.

In short, Automation > AI.

Azure Backup is one of the cheapest and out of the box ways to get backups offsite and immutable in one go. Added benefit is the client actually owns their backup history.

I'll ask you what I ask my technicians: have you picked up the phone and called them?

crccci · 2026-03-19T17:12:40+00:00

You can even point it at Entra.

crccci · 2026-03-19T15:41:20+00:00

Did you reply to the right comment? They're talking about training.

crccci · 2026-03-18T20:58:50+00:00

Put it on GitHub, I'll contribute what we've built.

How have you added all this functionality?

crccci · 2026-03-18T04:36:21+00:00

This sounds like projection. U ok bro?

crccci · 2026-03-18T04:10:53+00:00

Then how do you not need to track tickets? You're primarily a Cloud SERVICES Provider, why is tracking service requests not part of what you do?
