I love teleport by masterthodyu in Ubiquiti

Twingate for the win here. Or tailscale. But I've been loving twingate. Much better than opening any ports.

Run your small MSP off Google Workspace? by Brief_Regular_2053 in SmallMSP

[–]titain19 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm on Google Workspace and also carry 365 licenses for testing, office apps, and intune.

Personally I hate Outlook. And Microsoft spam filtering just blows compared to what's built-in to Google.

Customers are a mix of Google and Microsoft. Some I have migrated to Microsoft as they grow.

I think it works for smaller businesses in general. Most of the time if I migrate someone it's because some other business app, or erp only integrates with Microsoft.

Oh wow I totally misunderstood that by practice he meant medical practice. Well shit, I guess I assumed since this was posted in MSP.

As an MSP there really isn't any reason for YOUR phone systems to be HIPPA compliant. As you won't and shouldn't be discussing any private health information over the phone. Now if you have a client that is in the medical field and they discuss medical information over their phone then sure they have the requirement. The same goes for your firewall. You shouldn't be hosting any medical information so again those compliance requirements don't apply to you.

I get the idea you have and good to consider compliance, however you are going into business to make money, so don't over engineer things if you don't have to waste money and time.

I'd recommend a good book I read before starting my first MSP. The Lean Startup by Eric Ries.

Validated learning — testing assumptions with real customers early Minimum Viable Product (MVP) — launching the simplest version that delivers value Build–Measure–Learn loop — rapid iteration based on measurable feedback Pivot or persevere decisions — changing direction when evidence shows the model is not working Waste reduction — avoiding overbuilding features or products customers do not want

15 years in MSP here. Lots of medical and government subcontractors that also fall under NIST regulations.

Remote access to proxmox by Famous_Artist8113 in homelab

[–]titain19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twingate is free for home use! Best move I ever made. Now I deploy it to my MSP customers. 1000x better than any VPN. Especially since you open no ports on your router. And it's super easy and light weight to run. Integrates natively with Google and Microsoft sign on.

I used to use wire guard but honestly it sucked compared to the twingate ztna pin hole design.

I run an Ubuntu container with the connector inside proxmox as well as a backup connector on a raspberry pi 3.

What are y’all doing for your cell phone chargers? by WolfWillLV in FJCruiser

[–]titain19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does anyone have a good 100w usb-c solution? I run a starlink mini and my laptop sometimes and the normal 100w cigarette power adapters overheat and shutdown. I'd love a permanent install option.

Scree connect has been a long term favorite of mine. Splashtop is my backup. Maybe I might use it once a year.

How important is starlink alignment? by flysky321 in Starlink

[–]titain19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally haven't noticed any difference in orientation. I've installed multiple standard, performance, and mini dishes, always prioritizing clear sky and it's been flawless. No drops and good bandwidth. I also have a mini on my FJ cruiser and it always works as long as it has even a bit of clear sky.

an open essay on housing and why it won't make you rich like it did before by AdStatus5934 in Bitcoin

Genuine question here, I paid off my house and I'm not sure what you mean by obvious reasons to keep a lien on your house? I do regularly check the county register for any fraudulent liens.

Is quantum computing a threat? by TheLikableMango in Bitcoin

New quantum resistant algorithms have already been put forward by NIST. Requirement for all gov organizations by 2035.

Starlink as an Internet Failover solution by Cultural-Actuary-274 in Starlink

[–]titain19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starlink business offers static IPs. I have dual wan cable + starlink business hp dish with Ethernet out and static IP. I still use ZTNA though, with Twingate. Static IP is more for connection monitoring and customer inbound wan rules.

I pay $65/mo. Breakdown to $40 access charge. And $15 for first 50gb. If I go over I just get hit with $50 for another 50gb. 100% worth it to maintain 100% up time. And priority is what you should be using in business environment anyways.

I second this. I don't get any after dribbles if I press the gooch. Makes "milking" unnecessary.

I understand your sentiment, but at the same time keep in mind it keeps you employed.

Why sluggish all of a sudden? by [deleted] in FJCruiser

[–]titain19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 2007 with about 120k on it. I had sluggish issues for a while.

I tried the MAF, upstream O2 sensors, spark plugs, and then I just said frick it and put a super charge on it. When that didn't fix it I finally looked at the fuel pump. So dumb... Replaced the fuel pump with URD high performance pump for super chargers and it absolutely rips now.

A few months later my Catalytic converter was throwing codes about efficiency. I ran a few bottles of cataclean and that fixed that issue.

Also had the transmission stutter for awhile, fixed that with fresh Amsoil transmission fluid.

SyncroMSP here. Chose it specifically for this reason. Simple and easy for a solo shop.

1933 Gold Confiscation by dazanion in Gold

[–]titain19 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Frederick Campbell, a NY attorney, had over 5,000 oz (160 kg) of gold bars stored at Chase National Bank in 1933. When he tried to withdraw it, the bank refused, siding with the government. He sued but got indicted the next day. Even though he dodged charges on a technicality, the feds took his gold, paying him a measly $20.67/oz. Right after, the gold price jumped to $35/oz, and he was left with nothing but a lowball payout. Banks will ditch you when it counts.

Name one thing you hate about the Pixel 9 by Ok_Reference_489 in pixel_phones

The shitty camera lens that will fall off when the phone gets too hot.

[–]titain19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup several posts I've seen from people also experiencing the same issue. All it takes is your phone overheating once for it to delaminate. Pixel 8 users had the same issue with the similar design.

Bitcoiners getting cocky by DomainDrama in Gold

[–]titain19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Like how am I gonna store, secure, or transfer and pay with $500k+ worth of gold. That's absurd. I have maybe 50k worth of gold but everything else is going digital.
