I miss clippy. Was my first pc.

I was so confused when I started that game. I thought I’d get arrested or something for looting.

I’m picking a brand for a service offering HaaS. And am hoping I can find a brand that has central management.

Oh wow, good thing they caught that.

SUPER hesitant to change

Yes they are.

I’m moving to lemmy. Reddit is practically dead in the tech subs. I assume msp won’t move. Mostly because half of the mentions of FOSS in the sub get down voted. Because msp sells proprietary.

Hey, is there any centralized system I can put on a Linux box that will notify me of battery health of multiple UPSs.

I started a managed Services business and I’m trying to find a battery backup solution. That I can centrally manage.

I’ve never looked into Central management for UPS’s before. So I’m not sure if there’s anything out there like that.

Given your experience though I’m guessing you might know.

I’m just trying to avoid running into the situation where I have a dying battery at a client’s location. I’m trying to be proactive.

I am one of the few. I make use of FOSS and support it when possible.

It’s annoying that msp is so against using Foss.

With Microsoft and Google pushing everything to the cloud. Foss is going to grow in the business market.

Synology & OnlyOffice is a great combination to keep your office documents offline.

Hmm, never thought of that. I guess the reddit api fiasco was a catastrophic event.

For my clients, it’s all m365. Except for their router, and backup solutions.

The solutions are paid, but the software is OS. Unifi, pfsense, Synology, sync…

In the msp realm, there’s always someone who doesn’t understand FOSS. And their knee jerk reaction is, “No!”

If an open source project offers a support package, imo, it’s generally OK to use. Means the project is, or is attempting to be, a profitable business.

Bookstack, Odoo, OnlyOffice come to mind.

Unless the product is good

I shout out the creator of bookstock as often as I can on Reddit. He’s pretty active there.
