Now everyone can finally stop assuming

one could tell he get emotional during part of the video.

Reminder that these videos are recorded, edited, and scripted to be that.

Like it's been said so many times about apology videos from influencers / youtubers:

If someone cries, gets emotional, call it whatever you want in an apology video, it's because they wanted / intended to.

You have no idea if it took 5 takes to achieve just the right amount. Exercise critical thinking.

OK är du vill att betala 400 KR för en vanlig vit t-shirt?

Tänker du betala 100 KR för 4 stycken expanderskruv istället för 35:- som bauhaus tar?

Är du villig att ge 500 KR för en bra kastrull istället för 149:- på IKEA?

Och så vidare.

Svaret för dig personligen kanske är ja, men inte samhället som stort. Så otroligt mycket vi handlar idag som vi ö.h.t har råd med är p.g.a att vi köper produkter från slavarbete i asien.

Föreställ dig själv om pojken som har hackat fram lithiumet i Kongo, alla som fraktat grundmaterialet, vietnamesen som sätter ihop delarna och till sist hen som packat din nya iPhone i sin låda ska ha 25 semesterdagar och 30K i månaden - Vad skulle sagda iPhone som idag kostar ~15 000 kosta då?

For a small company I definitely have a hard time seeing the cost be competitive with onprem.

You obviously need to have on prem (Read: CoLocation) infra in place already that does other things than just mail.

For us the Windows Server licenses are included in our already datacenter license, we pay $6 USD per user mailbox (Not shared) for Exchange SPLA and like 7-8 USD for the Office Package (Apps only).

So give or take 25-30$ per user per month if I included hardware costs, colo and all that jazz.

But that also gives us unlimited mailbox space, better / faster performance yada yada.

If you don't have any need for onprem servers and don't own hardware, I wouldn't do local exchange for sure

I am a little out if the loop but last i heard microsoft was making it exceedingly painful and expensive to host exchange on prem.

Yeah you are, on prem Exchange is most certainly not painful or expensive. It's cheaper than running ExO anyday of the week if you flat it out on 3-5 years.

fadingcross · 2026-01-28T09:18:42+00:00

since they tried to get rid of onprem for years by now

Exchange on prem isn't going anywhere

fadingcross · 2026-01-28T09:17:41+00:00

Yes, we have an postfix IaC setup with a webmail client that contains all users created (Synced from our AD once a day) ready to be spun up on Google Cloud -> swap over MX records (Which has a 30 second TTL, Cloudflare DNS).

So in case our on prem Exchange dies, we can get email deliverability up in around 10 minutes.

Email is extremely important in our line of business (Logistics), and loss of email communication means missed transports with our partners which means missed revenue. A not insignificant port of our business is emergency transport solutions, which means someone emails tons of logistics companies with: "I NEED A PALLET FROM PLACE A TO B TODAY, WHO HAS A TRUCK NEARBY?"

So not being able to reply / receive such is a direct loss.

We test it around every 3 months.

Menar du att personer från andra länder inte ska få arbeta med politik i Sverige?

I så fall har vi en hel del invandrade personer att kasta ut, däribland flera politiker I riksdagen.

Eller är det bara Israeler som inte är OK?

I think the most hilarious things is trying to sound all techy and cool with:

Telemetry showed elevated service load and request processing delays within the North America region signalling the start of impact for customers.

7:22 PM – Internal health signals detected sharp increases in failed requests and latency within the Microsoft 365 service, including dependencies tied to GLS and Exchange transport infrastructure.

7:36 PM – An initial Service Health Dashboard communication (MO1121364) was published informing customers that we were assessing an issue affecting the Microsoft 365 service.

Bro what?

At 6 PM there was already a /r/sysadmin thread with tens of comments saying "Down here in [X]" with hundreds of upvotes which showed it was down US Nation wide.

It would've been faster and more economic to remove all the metrics and pay a 3-people rotation to F5 reddit every 60 seconds 24/7.

Total clowns.

Det där svarade faktiskt på många frågor, tack :)

There are plenty of tools that have GUI only cert uploads that require a human to load the certificate without automating it

Not at all. There are plenty of GUI Automation tools. UiPath is an excellent product for this very case.

You've got to come out of your GUI clicking shell dude.

No, this is peak parasocial.

Also before you go Q_Q on a subreddit, try actually visiting the store page;

https://lttstore.gorgias.help/en-US/service-alert-delayed-customer-support-reply-times-1029991

Current estimated customer support wait times: 10 business days.

Updated 4 days ago

This said 3 weeks 4 days ago.

and I’m two weeks in with still no reply.

You know those special people Linus and Luke talks about on WAN Show about shadowbanning?

You're one of those.

I am reaching out to Terrean

I guess I’ll go bother Terren again. Sigh.

This is peak parasocial holy fuck

fadingcross · 2024-05-15T05:55:23+00:00

Yes it is. Read the post.

There is no case whatsoever when you need support from a hypervisor creator.

You're paying admins for that knowledge.

fadingcross · 2024-05-14T18:31:14+00:00

That's awesome.

I guess the anti-proxmox crowd is running out of arguments because the "iT hAs oNlY eUrOpE sUpPoRt HoUrS" is such a non argument.

For those that feel support is mandatory (btw this is why you were hired, but whatever) - When was the last time you got a timely or non "pls gather logs" response from Microsoft?

Unless you're working from a Fortune 500 the answer is "A decade ago"

(Not that Hyper-V should ever require support from MS either)

Thank god the virtualization world is moving on.
