This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I didn’t do any work today. Not because of this outage but because I was at a conference.
The hardest thing I did all day was not walk up to the Microsoft booth and laugh at them.
The hardest thing I did the day before that was not walk up to the Nvidia booth and laugh at them.
Microsoft and Nvidia sit on huge piles of money and laugh at everyone.
People with money can still be losers. Just look at Elon Musk. Or Zuck. Or Bezos.
If only there was some way to run software like this locally.
Don't be ridiculous. Thin clients and mainframes! Welcome to '68!
Locally or in network? Good luck running nation wide email service locally. In network or “self hosted” is absolutely possible though.
Lots of companies and governments do it. How hard it is only depends on how many users you have.
Locally implies an email server on every machine. While technically possible, it would be an abysmal situation with constant problems.
Hosting your own in network would be much more feasible. You’d likely have some annoyance but beyond that it would work.
Of course you have to ask yourself why they would bother when a large portion goes through outlook servers anyway, and the majority of the other portion goes through Google servers. You’d have to do a cost vs benefit analysis to know for sure, especially if you don’t have anyone on staff that can handle the task.
Anyone know the cause?
80% chance for DNS
10% chance for slop
10% chance for Huang's little Huang poking the servers
I'm on call.
Not for anything Outlook-y, but email via that unreliable disappointment is what triggers our phones.
So now I get to wake up, log in, connect vpn (2fa bullshit), go to the nagios page, log in again, check everything's okay, sigh, go back to bed, repeat every 3 hours.
It's absolute bullshit.
When is Sativa Nutella going to resign?
Not until he’s banged at least three people he shouldn’t have
Well, I know what I must do.
*who
Got caught up on work that was due Tuesday, tomorrow will be hell.
Finished a few deliverables that were due and sent them out. Got that timestamp lol
Teams still worked so I didn't have to call people on the phone to ask team members for tasks.
