De storing bij Microsoft bewijst hoe afhankelijk we in Nederland zijn van dit ene bedrijf. Belangrijk om hier snel over te spreken in de Tweede Kamer, maar mijn mail deed het niet, want ook onze democratie hangt volledig aan een Amerikaanse tech-infuus. Debat aanvragen ging dus even niet. Hopelijk wordt de motie van @laurensdassen@mastodon.nl om de Tweede Kamer digitaal onafhankelijk te maken nu heel snel uitgevoerd! #microsoft Lees het hele artikel @NRC@nrc.social

"Microsoft has demonstrably underinvested in its IT stability. Any IT plan that results in a global, multi-day outage is, by definition, inadequate."
(...)
"Microsoft is too big in every way. Too big to fail, too big to jail and too big to care. Too big to trust. Too big to rely upon. Too big to foster a corporate culture that cares about reliability, a decent workplace, or product quality."

Today, I received two emails from two different customers. Both use Zimbra, hosted on one of our servers, and both wrote to thank us.
They pointed out that in ten years of hosting (both have been with us since that server was first set up), they've experienced only a few minutes of downtime. Always during weekends or at night, strictly for maintenance and updates. In fact, they never even noticed.
They also mentioned that many of their contacts, who are rather desperate today, will probably be getting in touch with us over the next few weeks.
Thank you, Microsoft. Today, you've given me the best advertising I could possibly ask for. And you did it for free.

Governments around the world grapple with not having access to their email, due to a Microsoft outage. It really is time for them to host their own mail services and generally diversify. Relying so heavily on Big Tech is just a really bad idea.

De storing bij #Microsoft365 heeft zowaar tot gevolg dat we op de @NRC@nrc.social site de reactiemogelijkheid hebben aangezet onder een oproepje. (Wat merkt u ervan?) Ons mailen kan even niet.

When ordinary people accidentally send an email to the wrong recipient, there is nothing we can do.
When Trump accidentally sends all of the uncensored Epstein files to all media outlets, he just calls Microsoft's CEO and tells him to have an outage.

Watching #microsoft hit the Find Out phase of firing 10,000 engineers 6-12 months ago.

It used to be my job to explain complex technical outages and incidents to very senior executives who didn’t know anything about technology.
Last year, they decided I was unneeded.
Anyways, I’m having a GREAT day.

EDIT: Please note, this post hasn't been update for a long time and still considers Dovecot 2.3.x - but the underlying ideas are still current.
Quite relevant, today:
Make your own E-Mail server - Part 1 - FreeBSD, OpenSMTPD, Rspamd and Dovecot included

We invented the internet specifically to survive a nuclear war via decentralisation, then spent the last twenty years cramming the whole thing into three cloud providers and calling it "progress."
Ukraine just reminded us in real-time why single points of failure are a bad idea, yet somehow, we’ll still act shocked the next time one outage takes down half the planet.
This is a subtoot about Microsoft.

While you are waiting for your (outlook) mail to come online again, you could waste some hours on my notes on how life is in the great SMTP elsewhere: https://nxdomain.no/~peter/eighteen_years_of_greytrapping.html #smtp #mail #email #openbsd #greytrapping #greylisting #spam #antispam #outlook #microsoft #exchange

I must say, I don't share the opinion that seems to be general here on the mastosphere, that we wish ill on #Microsoft but are sympathetic to the put-upon engineering staff at Microsoft.
You realise that if the heroic engineers get the services back up in record time, that management will crow that they were right to lay off 60,000 people?
"See? We didn't need them! AI Ftw!"
They will feel that a one-day outage every now and again totally justifies firing 60,000 workers.

Reminder that if you're using @libreoffice@fosstodon.org for your office suite needs and their website goes down then your LibreOffice copy will still be on your computer and it will still work just fine.
Those using Microsoft's office 365 right now can't use their office suite and a lot of other Microslop products. https://status.cloud.microsoft/
Perhaps they should rename it office 363 or less depending on how this outage lasts?
