I'm working on some interesting stuff this morning, and I'm really enjoying it. So far, no calls about yesterday's issue, which is reassuring.

But I did get a new call, awaiting a follow-up: a few months ago, I sent a (low-cost) quote to modernize a network stuck 20 years in the past. This included new routers, 4G failover (which they currently lack), transitioning from a PPTP (!!!) based VPN to WireGuard, and using IPsec and/or WireGuard for site-to-site connectivity (which is currently handled in a way I'm embarrassed to even mention).

I've been managing some servers for them for a few years (not in the right way, IMO, and there's a plan to fix that too), and they were enthusiastic about my project (and how cost-effective it was, thanks to choosing the right hardware).

Today's call: a colleague who works with them told me they're reviewing a quote this morning for a "professional", "AI-powered" (and hyper-expensive, with recurring fees) firewall because my proposal is supposedly "too basic to be effective".

If they go that route, that's their choice, but I'm always baffled by how the grass is always greener -trusting the first stranger who shows up with buzzwords and pointlessly expensive products.

On the flip side, this afternoon I have an on-site visit with a potential new client who, and I quote, "prefers to spend money on consulting for open-source products than on useless licenses".

Just for that attitude alone, I'm going to offer them extremely favorable terms if the premises are right.

Anyway, it's only 9:20, but the day is already shaping up to be quite interesting.
