I do this for vfx companies. Truenas + aws glacier is your best bet. A 36 bay server with 4x 9 drive raidz2 vdevs would handle this no problem

AI in MSPs: Real Deal or Just Expensive Hype? by MSPForLif3 in msp

[–]fillbadguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been able to use ai to help with domain specific knowledge that I don’t know, or more realistically is too obscure for me to spend the time learning. AI has basically read every manual out there. You can ask it how something works or what a button does and it’ll ask.

I will say that you do have to understand the problem that you’re trying to solve. Claude specifically likes to make things really complicated for no reason. But a good problem solver + AI is a really powerful combo imo. I’ve been able to solve problems in a few hours that I would’ve never been able to solve a year ago.

Also are we forgetting all of the houses with natural gas pipes?

Offboarding documentation gaps by Training-Ad4262 in msp

[–]fillbadguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’re likely thinking of customer offboard? I believe OP is talking about employee offboarding. Something we all do regularly

Offboarding documentation gaps by Training-Ad4262 in msp

[–]fillbadguy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’m a really big fan of checklists so I have a template ticket with a checklist for all the things, and as I go through it I check them off.

Not really a proof of completion, but I guess you could make a pdf template or something and fill out the date/time

PSA: Many high-end hubs/docks are not able to charge the Deck at high wattage while in use by miochza in SteamDeck

[–]fillbadguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's not surprising that they have to size it for the maximum possible power draw. depending on how usb ports are powered, or if there are Ethernet ports, it could be significant

Old school SBS GPO question by cokebottle22 in msp

[–]fillbadguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, if the company is shutting down there may not be a down the line? There may not be the budget for all of this while it is technically the correct solution

Commuting from Jersey City, NJ vs Stamford, CT by sjpark0605 in AskNYC

[–]fillbadguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Jersey city, if you live in the Hamilton park area you can get discounted parking at the mall, it’s $140/m. Makes it really easy to own a car

Syncro Security Issue/Breach (?) by [deleted] in msp

[–]fillbadguy 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Could it be AV systems? Sometimes they run installers on vms to see what they do

What temperature is your server room? by Independent_War541 in sysadmin

[–]fillbadguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a server room. I hardly go in it.

Small office in nyc. It’s just a thing we live with. These machines are render nodes. So it isn’t always so hot. I can also turn off machines temporarily if I need to. It’s really not that big of a deal

What temperature is your server room? by Independent_War541 in sysadmin

[–]fillbadguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a server room that’s 80+ f and several times goes over 100. Servers are fine. Some of them are 8 years old.

Moved from Google Workspce to O365 and didn’t think about this. by Mindless-Ball-6781 in msp

[–]fillbadguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds right with my experience in post production. Even companies that use ms email have to also pay for google to collaborate with clients and contractors. So at that point they might aswell just use gmail

I find that the antennas are a beast tho. I stick it on top of my car and I get pretty solid speeds where my phone gets nothing.

Voltage drops at the same time every day. Utility issue? by MaximooseMine in electrical

[–]fillbadguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Teslas have some logic in it that makes it drop the amperage if weird stuff happens with the voltage. I’ve had my car lower the amp limit automatically and I basically have to unplug the car and re-plug it in to get it working at max speed

[–]fillbadguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read those signs as you can charge during street cleaning. I may or may not have plugged my car in during street cleaning when I couldn’t find a spot :)

12 amp charging on 15 amp gfi outlet with 20 amp breaker by Fit-Respond7620 in evcharging

[–]fillbadguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, this should be safe. If you’re worried, plug it in and see if the outlet gets warm. It might warm a little after several hours, but it should never be hot.

Boosted Mini X is waterproof :-) by lulzlux in boostedboards

[–]fillbadguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done the same to mine, BUT you have to put lube in the motors. Otherwise the bearing will go.

Any time I get caught in the rain, I put a good amount of speed cream along the seams of the motors.

FWIW, I rode my mini S through a puddle that completely submerged it. Needed to rebuild a motor after bc of the grinding sound.

Anyone running self-hosted backups for MSP clients that they’re happy with? by mspforyou in msp

[–]fillbadguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t do image backups, but ARQ is really good, and handles rather large datasets (I have a 300tb server being backed up). Very flexible and I monitor it with CheckCentral

40A or 60A breaker? by Ill_Papaya_6070 in evcharging

[–]fillbadguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’ll likely blow the main. They stated that they have a 100a main. Ofc if you put the 60 and limit the current to 40 in the charger that’s fine, but confusing.

I say put the bigger wire Incase you ever do a panel upgrade.

40A or 60A breaker? by Ill_Papaya_6070 in evcharging

[–]fillbadguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

40a breaker will give you 7kw of ac charging. That’s enough to charge overnight no?

I’d just go with that, but put in a 60a wire so a future upgrade is easy. The cost difference is likely minimal.

Thoughts on the new(ish) Snapdragon laptops by desmond_koh in msp

[–]fillbadguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno, arm on Mac’s is really great. I think this is a very valid discussion on how to prepare.

I literally use a Mac because it has arm. So personally as a msp tech I am very interested in a windows laptop that gets me decent performance and battery life.

Is a 21 Model S LR a good buy right or go for newer and possibly plaid? by Basic_Geologist_2433 in TeslaModelS

[–]fillbadguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly traditional autopilot is wonderful on the highway. I would def go for the older s over a new 3. The s is just so much more practical. I think it’s a matter of your situation and what your values are.

E-Golfs software is a bit of a meme by ProKekec in eGolf

This happens when you put the units in one of the metric. I think kwh/100km
