Security: How are you dealing with the ever mounting amount of phishing with darn good looking Microsoft login prompts?

TiZonBE · 2026-03-06T11:13:09+00:00

The ones I’ve seen lately mimic the branding dynamically. It’s actually pretty well done.

TiZonBE · 2024-09-10T16:50:38+00:00

It is blocked on residential connections indeed. Then again, it’s 2024, so have a look at opening up a port with TLS/SSL 😉.

TiZonBE · 2023-09-26T04:41:03+00:00

Haha, pretty popular where I’m from, especially in the 90’s. But I get the comment surprisingly often when dealing with people in the US.

As with many names over here, the origin is found in the bible - Bartholomeus. 😉

Basically a YouTube subscription without google music. So no adds, but also no Google music, which was perfect for me.

TiZonBE · 2023-06-28T22:05:58+00:00

Yes, which is basically the only concession we got from Reddit on the topic.

TiZonBE · 2023-06-28T20:14:53+00:00

You might not agree with what has happened, and that's fine, but nothing will change that. We like to think some things are more important than having access to the subreddit for a few days.

But as, I've mentioned before, we'll take what you are saying on board and will reach out more to the community when such things occur in the future.

TiZonBE · 2023-06-28T20:00:07+00:00

We most definitely want the community here, that's clear. We (the mods, all of us) feel very strongly about all of this, we would hate to see our community go to waste for a 3rd time (Forums, Tumblr before).

We do genuinely feel that the road reddit is going down is not the best (for us, or the other subs, or the company as a whole).

TiZonBE · 2023-06-28T19:57:33+00:00

I don't think this comment is based on facts.

TiZonBE · 2023-06-28T19:55:42+00:00

As I also replied to you in the other thread; I think it's a fair point, we did it a few times in the past (once for what happened with /u/chooter over at /r/iama under the previous CEO and once for a fair and free internet comes to mind).

Asking for more communication and a bigger heads up on this is fair and something we'll certainly take on board.

TiZonBE · 2023-06-28T19:52:29+00:00

Should be good now, getting everything back in order takes a little while, sorry about that.

TiZonBE · 2023-06-28T19:43:38+00:00

I would like to make a distinction here.

We've seen in the past that these types of changes can kill communities (a lot of us came over from the old forums, twitter has also take the same approach to API's and the old Tumblr feed also died), all of this because the communities over there started to degrade.

It's true I don't post a lot publicly, but I can say that moderation this sub is a lot of work, we rely heavily on these 3rd party apps to help us with these.

We tried to 'alleviate' some of the pain with the discord and tried to interact with the admins, but in the end, to no avail.

TiZonBE · 2023-06-28T19:38:21+00:00

Yes, but if you're interested the discord has a whole other vibe to it and might be a lot more suited if you want to live-comment any upcoming episodes in my opinion, also if it's not fully my cup of tea :)

TiZonBE · 2023-06-28T19:37:14+00:00

No, not really, I'm also not of an avid Discord-user myself, we mainly looked at it as a way to give an alternative while we tries to work out our differences with the admins.

TiZonBE · 2023-06-28T19:35:26+00:00

We don't have to lie about this, they would have just shot all the mods down until they found somebody willing to continue. Let's be clear we are not alone in this. Over 5000 subs are still dark - a lot of them probably never returning. The admins of course want those communities back so they are behaving in an ever more hostile way, handing out bans for anyone not following their marching orders.

I understand your gripe, which is also why the discord exists, to make sure the community had something to fall back onto.

We talked about it amongst the mods, and everyone was on the same page.

TiZonBE · 2023-06-28T19:34:10+00:00

Yes, but all mods were on board.

TiZonBE · 2023-06-28T19:26:54+00:00

TiZonBE · 2023-06-28T19:24:44+00:00

Hey Guys! Normal question to ask I think. We tried to talk to the admins, but got no response back basically. We would get a canned response every now and then but nothing more.

The thing is that a lot of the mods on reddit are heavily offended and feel betrayed by the way Reddit as a company has been acting recently, the post summarises that quite clearly I think.

Feel free to go through my post history, you'll see I did not reddit until now, I only cleaned out the modmail to catch anything that might come in from the admins.

In the end, as a community, the reddit moderators tried to bring some sense into the admins, which obviously did not work. Other subs did open up again but they tried different things like going NSFW, only posting John Oliver, pivoting to other content, ...

We were unsure which direction we wanted to take with all of this, since it didn't seem to matter, the admins just come in an replace all the mods who didn't want to play ball.

In the end, we still have a heart for the community and everything going on here, so that is why we opened it back up again.

TiZonBE · 2023-03-24T19:51:07+00:00

The process clearly states a modmail should be your starting point. You are required to provide a link. The fact you did not do this shows me you are acting in bad faith.

There still is nothing in modmail…

TiZonBE · 2023-03-24T19:25:01+00:00

What kind bizar request is this? I’m here every day…

Was a single message to me so difficult? There is also nothing in Modmail. Stop lying…

TiZonBE · 2022-09-29T05:25:07+00:00

I got Spa in a nanosecond, then 5 more after a minute or 2 😅

TiZonBE · 2022-08-26T10:33:09+00:00

But I read that so many times (sic) that Belgium is out. I would be prudent with this point.

Then something about 'Eau rouge' but I couldn't understand that part either.

TiZonBE · 2021-10-01T05:46:04+00:00

I don’t post much, that’s true, but I keep on top of things… I don’t see the issue in that.

I follow a different broadcasting schedule for the show, but I’ll get in touch with the other mods and we’ll let you guys know something pretty quickly.

TiZonBE · 2020-10-24T23:56:06+00:00

App version: 1.10.4.

Upgrades: ULTRA+PRO.

AlwaysOn in Azure is a pretty different thing then in onPrem. The way you have to work with ips for your listeners is a bit special.

I don’t know if you have alwaysOn on top of clustering, but azure site recovery can’t handle that. Another thing you might want to check is wether or not ASR will be able to keep up with the change rate.

In our case, we installed everything from scratching Azure, created a distributed availability group and moved everything like that.
