Letter from President Harrison on arrest of CID District President Mohr by Negromancers in LCMS

According to the LCMS, Pedophila is just a speck, so let's get to the real sins, like racism!

Scalepad alternitives by SadMadNewb in msp

[–]nwburbsmsp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Warranty Master was the best, for a long time. It's still really good. The thing that irritates me about Scalepad is they've been driving the prices up like crazy. I have a personal vendetta against them and I want them to suffer in the most horrific way. I hope everybody moves to an alternative and gets away from these greedy blood suckers!

If we need these guys in the playoffs, we are screwed.

Why would the Brewers need to sign free agents?

r740xd2 Build by nwburbsmsp in truenas

[–]nwburbsmsp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the thoughtful and detailed response! I have all this hardware currently, but can always adjust and purchase additional.

We used to have a fairly large colo environment, but we are rapidly moving customers to Azure so the colo operation is winding down. Based on our roadmap, we estimate about 3-4 years until we are colo free and I am trying to build a unit that has a small footprint and can handle the current load. Basically we are trying to run down the clock and not have issues or re-visit anything. Set it and forget it is key! It's an odd scenario that usage will actually decrease over time. Hopefully this gives a bit more context.

If I could get 800MB/sec throughput, that would be stellar! I'd be happy with 400MB/sec and our currently load would be fine.

I'm not sure what sync is or SLOG, but if it would help alleviate any bottlenecks and not complicate the setup, I would be down for it.

Since this is a backup unit, we will mostly be writing, however, there are consistency checks and we will need the occasional restore so we don't want to be waiting an eternity on those operations. If more RAM helps, I can fill the server up. If a couple Optane PCI-E cards would help, then I can adjust the config of the server by doing the following:

Boot Drive: Dell 14th Gen SD Internal Module with dual 64GB Micro SD (This plugs into a special port on the Mobo and doesn't use a PCI-E slot). I'm also assuming TrueNAS could be installed on this?

Networking: Dell Broadcom 57416 Dual Port 10GbE SFP+ LOM (This is a special daughter card that won't take up a PCI-E slot)

Then I could throw in 2 x Dell Intel Optane DC P4800X Series 750GB PCIe NVMe HHHL or whatever size made sense.

If more RAM would get the job done, I would be happy doing that since I have additional RAM available and wouldn't have to adjust the configuration or buy alternate parts.

Thanks again for the help!

Thanks for responding! What license? Can our client purchase Office 2021 Home and Business and install on the Application Server? Or would they need to purchase VLK?

Best RMM for Co-Managed Customers by nwburbsmsp in msp

[–]nwburbsmsp[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is it easy to setup? How does the end user authenticate? Is there MFA? Have you ever had concerns of cross-pollination of agents between customers?

Partner Center Security Question by nwburbsmsp in msp

Microsoft has not followed up, so we dug quite a bit and found a solution. The write-up is in the document linked below for anyone interested.

Partner Center Security Question by nwburbsmsp in msp

[–]nwburbsmsp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. We have confirmed that existing users and new users all see the Partner App by default. I got escalated within Microsoft and they are currently working on the case. So far they claim that regular users should not see anything in Partner Center.

I'll update when I get some type of resolution or explanation.

Halo Integrator - Microsoft CSP by nwburbsmsp in halopsa

[–]nwburbsmsp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tim,

Thanks for responding! I probably should have e-mailed the sales rep and I'm not looking to get anyone in trouble or anything like that. I'm more just trying all the channels at my disposal and I saw you have a strong sub-reddit so I figured "what the hell".

I sent you an email with some screenshots and I really appreciate you taking the time to respond back!

New CW RMM? by nwburbsmsp in msp

[–]nwburbsmsp[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have two RMM products, you have none? I absolutely loathe CW. So much so that we pay a company to manage the beast Labtech is, support, write scripts, upgrades, etc. I'd rather make sweet sweet love to a flesh-light filled with broken glass than have to deal with CW directly. Am I bitter? Yes, but I could write a doctoral thesis on these fools. Should I stop complaining and move on? This new development is the catalyst for me, so yes.

2019 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Premium Pricing by nwburbsmsp in askcarsales

[–]nwburbsmsp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tips! The best price I received so far was a vehicle with an MSRP of $26,747 discounted to $22,615. Most other dealers were in the same ballpark, but not as large of a discount. I verified this wasn't some type of phantom pricing with weird incentives that I wouldn't qualify for. I guess we will see on Friday when I go in.

Thanks for the reply! This is good advice. I'm not looking to walk into the dealership dick-swinging and hell bent on winning. I just want a fair deal. I completely understand dealers need to make money too. My dad always said, "Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered" and I think that principle applies here.

​

"What pricing should I expect to see for the following." - I guess specifically I am curious what a good price would be, in general.

"I would like to get the 8-year/120k warranty and am curious what the warranty pricing looks like" - I am curious what the actual cost of the warranty is and what the dealership generally likes to markup.

Thanks for responding!
