It sucks being in a position where all my peers in the MSP / IT Consulting industry use and sell products that I am morally opposed to. I'm still trying to find the balance where I can offer good products and services to my clients while offering them an alternative to the closed source proprietary ecosystem that most businesses rely on. I can certainly make more money reselling Microsoft 365 than setting up Mailcow and Nextcloud. And it takes less maintenance. But Microsoft is evil. Is anyone else in the position? Do y'all ever sit your clients down and explain the difference between industry standard tech and it's FOSS alternatives? Help a brother out! #asknostr
