Exchange Server is effectively dead mid October too. Technically they have Exchange Server SE as an option, but it’s clearly not how they want people using Exchange anymore. They don’t even want hybrid setups.
Which is extra annoying because if you have Azure AD (I guess it’s Entra ID now) syncing from an on prem AD forest, half of the mailbox management shit in Exchange Online just doesn’t work and forces you to make the changes on-prem anyway.
Yep, was literally made as a marketing stunt.
Windows Server is less of a general use server, and more of just a staging platform for Microsoft’s other specific server based software installs. And even a lot of those don’t co-mingle on the same server well.
Have fun with that then. Sorry about your balls.
If you’re competent and technologically saavy enough to use a Linux distro as your daily driver, you can learn to make Windows work for you too.
Waste of effort if you don’t need to interact with any Windows environments for school or work, but definitely possible.
For me? I’m happy to get paid to automate shit using PowerShell that should have been basic built in functionality from the start. PowerShell is just the most convenient scripting language due to being packed-in with most Windows installs, and tons of built in functionality for interfacing with other Microsoft products. So as long as Microsoft keeps sucking, I’ve got a comfy paycheck.
And if the year of the Linux desktop ever finally happens? I’m ready, I’ll be cheering, and I’ll be ready to get paid helping companies to make the switch.
I’m usually a Windows “shill” or at least a casual defender of it, as I work in a Windows environment and it’s not as bad as people pretend it is. No shade against Linux, I love it and Windows is bad. Just not like “I’d rather self-castrate” bad.
Anyway…
But for a home server? Either be super lazy and set up samba shares from your Windows desktop for the drives (avoid having a server at all) or bite the bullet and use Linux. You’ll get so much more out of a Linux server that it’s not even funny.
I can understand where they’re coming from, but the examples given seem particularly… minor?
Not sure if it’s my privilege showing, or the article author chose examples to make this seem goofy.
It’s good enough for corporate (with multiple other lines of defense).
Sounds like a good case for brute forcing the filenames. Just do the proper thing and don’t leave your cloud storage publicly accessible.
Some alternative options: there are many many new tab page extensions you could try for a different look/layout, or you could put together your own basic html page of shortcuts and set it as your new tab page.
They crawl wikipedia too, and are adding significant extra load on their servers, even though Wikipedia has a regularly updated torrent to download all its content.
I mean, I’m not a dev and I haven’t dove deep into the forks in a while. I just remember that they added something to their readme on github during one of the recent “firefox is dead” cycles that said that LibreWolf’s focus of privacy first makes it poorly suited as a general use daily driver.
They were getting swamped with people looking for help because the defaults caused certain sites to not function or something.
Dude what the fuck?
So my bad, I didn’t clock the PPA abbreviation being about the experimental adtech bullshit they pulled.
But I feel like my point still stands. Claims that Mozilla is harvesting user data should be (relatively) easily proven by audits of the source code. Disproving things tends to be harder, and I’m not the person making the claim.
I’m not “gatekeeping” shit. I’m saying that bold claims should have facts backing them up, and so far I’ve not been shown anything to back it up.
(Edit: to be clear, the claim that these local AI features would be an increase in user data being harvested)
You appear to have strong feelings about this, so I was hoping you had more than specious claims based entirely off a major gaffe.
I’m not saying that Firefox and Mozilla should get trust by default. I’m saying that if they are doing shit as heinous as what you claimed, there should be evidence that can be pointed to.
Even something as simple as “hey, their prepackaged versions aren’t reproducable by compiling the source code”.
There are enough people who care a lot about this, and the source code is right there. No one should have to speculate on any of what Mozilla is or isn’t doing here as it’s all out in the open.
I feel bad for the LibreWolf devs who continue to desperately say that it’s not designed to be a general use browser.
Show me where the data is sent back to Mozilla. It’s all open source. I’ll wait.
Could be tests for a parser to convert it from string to object.
Not like your end users are going to type each piece into a separate field.
I’m already seeing a permutation of this at my workplace with Microsoft’s low/no code automation frameworks. Power Platform I believe is the name. Also seeing it with some other proprietary automation tools.
While I respect the motivation of these business folks to try and automate their processes, it’s distressing watching these people slap together something of equivalent quality to what I’d expect from freshman in an intro to programming course (I’ve been an assistant for some of those classes, it’s not pretty) and then try and balance all sorts of business critical stuff on top of their mess.
What is extra frustrating is that we already have in-house software devs for this sort of stuff. They’re already understaffed, but this motivation for automation could be a perfect opportunity to right-size that team, build a proper “tech project management” group, and really start to lean hard into making the best use of all these tools. Instead, a few enterprising project managers took a single continuing education course for some proprietary automation software and somehow got the office politics clout to spin it into an entire department based around their little pet system.
Meanwhile I’m sitting here in Systems Admin and Enterprise Architecture land watching these half assed “solutions” eating absurd amounts of resources to do shit that could be accomplished with a small DB and maybe 1k lines of code.
No, you cannot have a VM with a fucking 1TB drive. We’ve seen the files that go into and out of your current systems and if you found some way to bloat those into anywhere close to 1TB then something is seriously wrong.
PowerBI especially, they keep sending all their queries to the first gateway server we built instead of spreading them over the multiple ones we have. The end up maxing out the RAM and bringing the primary gateway down. Now, it should automatically offload new queries to the other gateways when one gets full, but queries are handled by batch, so if one batch is too big it can’t split that batch over multiple gateway servers. We’ve reached the point where we can’t just add more resources to the VM, they need to split shit up better.
So I guess all this is to say that it’s already happening to a limited degree. I don’t enjoy being a gatekeeper, but so many fucking people need so much more training before they start trying to automate shit, and the ever increasing marketing of “you don’t need to have a single coherent thought in your head to become a process efficiency master” is fucking poison.
What’s the saying? Rather have a lazy smart person than an industrious idiot?
So this is your project? Judging from your username here and the test messages shown in your screenshot here and on the Github. Nemesis.
Brand new lemmy account with only this post on it.
And the entire Github codebase is made up of a single commit of all the files 2 hours ago as of the time I’m commenting.
As I’ve said before with similar posts from (I believe) other users/coders: just be up front about if something you’re posting was your weekend project or just something to fill out a portfolio.
This came out a day or two ago, which removes that hurdle: https://lemvotes.org/
Just paste the permalink in. Works on posts, comments, and users.
It was only a matter of time.
Does anyone know if KDE is any better with this?
