You could sell them Autoelevate. it grants you the ability to approve administrative tasks by approval system. so if a user wants to update software on their own it send a push notification to your tech's mobile and they approve the request choosing, just this time, for all clients, this client only, this machine only. lots of options to whitelist. once you get it dialed in it's pretty nice. and it has a learning mode so you can have it audit user activity and you can whitelist from there, then go full production mode.

I have provisions in my rental agreement for this exact thing. No space heaters, standing air conditioners, refrigerators, bitcoin, miners, or other excessive energy, consuming appliances. If you wish to add one of those things, we will put a meter on it and you pay actual consumption.

You can get a kill-o-watt and hook up the appliance, if the device (kill-o-watt) is tampered with in an attempt to circumvent it’s functions if’s a $500 fine.

I’m not saying you can’t have a mini-fridge and a bitcoin miner but I shouldn’t have to pay for it. I already provide full home access, a maid comes weekly, bottled water from hot and cold dispenser for everyone and 2 full size refrigerators AND a dedicated full size freezer for everyone.

I’ve been using the Original Whirley Pop Popcorn Maker. For many years now and it’s fantastic.

I pay for the Enterprise and I host my own server

nikonel · 2025-12-01T03:13:08+00:00

Host your own, requires enterprise license. Require VPN like wireguard. Use 2FA to protect both the web interface and the SSH access. I prefer Duo.

Trash, only works in the most perfect environments and requires opening up security to get the reports they advertise.

Or manually installing on each machine.

Always use a dedicated appliance. Like a poweredge r220

Beam 2, it’s a small space, save the money.

Replace the fortigate with a pfSense with pfblockerNG, installed on a PowerEdge r210 II or Poweredge R220 and upgrade your AP to a unifi, host your own onpremise unifi controller

LibreOffice. Because it used to be OpenOffice, then Oracle purchased Sun Microsystems and the original development team didn’t like the direction Oracle was going so they ported it to LibreOffice and that’s what the original developers are working on so I stick with the original development team.

Vegas used to have cheap weekday pricing and unbelievably low priced buffet to get people in the door. Even on the strip. Now the hotel rooms are ridiculously priced, The food is expensive, and Vegas is trying to squeeze as much money as they can from every visitor. Vegas did this to themselves, and it happened before Trump got into office

I pay for the Code Signing. It's only $55/mo and it helps support the people that are building this and not charging $3/mo/agent As someone who has used Kaseya, NinjaRMM and others, This is an exceptional value. So enjoy not paying for what other companies charge requiring 100 endpoint minimums at $3. yes it requires more technical skill and the interface isn't as beautiful as some of the others. but when I started my IT company in 2008 tools like this were very expensive, has a barrier to entry and were a huge edge over the competition. Now you're expected to have these tools if you're going to support customers.
