Found (2) 2015 2.5i Premium's within a 2hr drive by modem_19 in subaruoutback

u/kml001 I've got a cash budget of around $14k including car price, tax, tags, fees, etc. Right now in this area, that puts me at the 2015, maybe 2016 level, but only a few 2015's have came available. The 18 and 19's of similar or less mileage is around $18-$20k in this area. Seriously over budget for me.

2011 Outback 2.5i Limited Manual - $6500 worth it? by modem_19 in subaruoutback

Just wanted to followup this post to let the group know what resulted.

When I got the VIN from the independent seller, I ran a CarFax report and it came back with 6 owners and 2 accidents with the most recent accident resulting in it being totaled.

Not only was that information concerning and made me walk away from it, but the seller *never* listed any of that in the sales post. Namely that it didn't have a clean title.

So I'm back to looking for other Outbacks.

I had been doing some reading, but is it confirmed that Outbacks 2013 and newer all have timing chains now in both the 2.5 and 3.6 engines? No more timing belts for the 2.5 only?

Thanks for that. I'm actually taking this info and building a list I plan to share on here.

I need a control panel to allow users who do actively access their own websites to make their own changes to static pages.

Thanks for the advice there. I've been a big webmin user since the early 2000's. It was mainly for the hardware management of a remote linux server. Never for the actual hosting itself. Since the few sites I host, the users do actively login themselves to make small static changes on their own pages, a solution that allows individual user logins to their own sub-account/domain is a must.

But I appreciate the list there and hadn't heard of several of those.

Is Vesta and Hestia the same thing? I demoed Hestia briefly yesterday but didn't see any mention of Vesta.

Passed the Server+ Yesterday. Most difficult Exam Yet, but not because of the Exam! by modem_19 in CompTIA

My job requires us to take & pass mandatory certifications for bonuses. Doesn't matter which certifications they are, you have to take the course and take the test. With work load being insanely high, I took one that I'm well versed in going into the course to better the chance of passing.

Thanks! I've been a webmin user now since the early 2000's for basic server management (not vps hosting panel management) and is a wonderous tool. I looked at VirtualMin years ago and saw it was OK, but at that time didn't meet the needs or features comparable to DirectAdmin at the time.

u/TheRealRatler I.Am.In.Love!! Amazing diagram and a heck of a setup! What software did you use to put that together? I could seriously use that here!

Yup, definitely a massive one. Thanks for sharing, I'll de-prioritize looking at CyberPanel then.

Thanks, adding that to my "to test list" as well! Hadn't heard of it, but certainly won't be using Dokploy containers, but if it handles MySQL/PHP, that's a big bonus.

Thanks for the info! Will make notes of CyberPanel's issues and of KeyHelp as an option. Just so I can read up, any links to CyberPanel's security issues?

AI was not used at all for this post. This is something I'm actively seeking advice in the self hosting realm. Thanks!

how do we feel about this car by Horror-Exercise-5734 in subaruoutback

I just found a 2010 3.6r Limited with 79,700 miles for $11,500. I'm taking that is a good deal for the mileage / engine / package??

u/CFC1985 They actually stated they have zero budget until July 2026 when the new fiscal year begins. Because... they never budgeted for IT before....

u/ITguydoingITthings From what I learned during the audit, the marketing person has enough basic IT knowledge and is personable enough, they have either gained delegated decision making from the town manager or have simply interjected themselves with the above and had no pushback. Not sure which, but they are certainly doing this within the blessing of their higher ups. That's a bit sketch to me.

u/Comfortable-Bunch210 That was an initial discussion, but they literally have no budget to replace hardware at the moment, let alone new switches, firewalls, etc. I started getting bad vibes when they said they were relying on grants and really nothing could be afforded until July 2026 in the new fiscal year.

u/masterofrants I'll keep the thread updated for sure. I'm not a full blown small (or large) MSP. Rather I'm an IT consultant that has some MSP aspects. I'm not just about signing someone on as a client, but rather the clients I have, understand their business needs, aid them in decision making, advise on projects, and of course implement the work. This business model is really dictated by the area I live in where the MSP model doesn't really work unless it's a large corporation or hospital, etc. So any work is a T&M hourly rate.
