Can't count the times a "nuget restore" in our CI fails with 401, just to succeed on a 2nd attempt a few seconds later. Seems like the IP range is somehow flagged, so there's definetly a downside to it.

giving real relatable task like that is memory excercise, not any reasoning excercise. The training dataset have tens of thousands apps like that

And I could tell you the opposite about 1Password. About half of the time, the extension does not realize ond which domain it is and autofill is broken.

To each their own (bugs).

Fair point - I've had no issue with it but I certainly don't use it as much as I do Bitwarden.

That really sounds line the US is the only country in the world. Considering the world is bigger, I would call Spirit maybe regional, but not small. Ask some europeans, basically no one will know Spirit - as US people may not know e.g. Wizz.

And then, someone added IAM so you could actually restrict your credentials from deleting your database.

First mistake is to use root credentials anyway for Terraform/automated API.

Second mistake is to not have any kind of deletion protection enabled on criticsl resources.

Third mistake is to ignore the 3-2-1 rule for backups. Where is your logically decoupled backup you could restore?

I am really sorry for their losss, but I do have close to zero empathy if you do not even try to understand the products you're using and just blindly trust the provider with all your critical data without any form of assessment.

That would be consistent, which is not something Microsoft is capable of.

But you end up with 1 already large, foreign provider getting all your critical infra, at once?

Be careful, the self-hosted may just be an out-of-date Exchange On-Premises.

The first example I looked at was haute-sorne.ch, which is reported by this tool as "Self hosted/other". Whilst it's true that they appear to self host, https://mails.haute-sorne.ch will land you on a Microsoft Exchange server, patch level 15.2.1748.39.

This is better than typical, being an October 2025 patch. But that leaves open CVE-2025-64667, CVE-2025-64666 and CVE-2026-21527. Which are vulnerabilities with patches out going back months.

Now are these RCEs? No, but this was also the first example I looked at.

Like Aeugst am Albis reports self-hosted, with: "MS365 tenant detected: Managed". But what I don't see, is other cloud office solution providers. Like, it's either hyperscalers or "self hosted". Why no cloud, sovereign even, alternatives?

Edit: there are (Infomaniak...), it was just Firefox json search who failed me :)

So we're doing the opposite. As we're in the German spesking part of europe, our dog listens to English to not interfere with daily talk. It's IMHO one of the best choices to take a foreign language for your dog. You can also use different languages for different setups (e.g. to differentiate fun, working). Dogs anyway don't speak the language, they just listen to the voice, but as an owner it's easier to set context by moving to a different language.

> billions of messages per month

Just tangential, but maybe that is part of the problem, isn't it? Napkin math tells me that esch person in the world receives every month an e-mail from you, and you're obviously just one of hundres of providers, and only half of the population actially has e-mail... I think you get the point.

E-Mail got to the point where it's actually worse then physical mail to some degree. Physical mail at least has a hurdle for the sender, and it's easier to throw away without even looking at it. The amount of low-quality mail and annoying, unnecessary notifications I receive is just at a level where I really think of dropping e-mail except for absolute becessary services.
