@thunderbird@thunderbird So… is anyone keeping tabs on #Betterbird? I can’t say I’m fond of everything they’ve done, but in the world of “we care about using Graph with #O365#Exchabge” this is starting to gain steam. I’m resisting g the fork, but I’m curious what the team has to say on the subject.
Indeed the latest round of chat revolved around a version of #TbSync hacked to talk to #GraphAPI.
I've updated my Microsoft Edge notes after working with it for a couple of weeks. If you use Office 365 for work like I do, here's a tip: Maximize (but don't go full screen!) when working with Edge. Read more in the full article linked above.
For Emacs org-mode users, two tips in two new notes: linking to other org-mode headers and plain lists to checklists in org-mode.
"Clara Fritsch..: „Ein derart komplexes und umfassend zur Überwachung der Beschäftigten geeignetes System wie Microsoft 365 muss natürlich mit einer Betriebsvereinbarung geregelt werden. Das ist im Arbeitsverfassungsgesetz festgeschrieben.“"
It took me way too long to figure out what "pmby" could mean ...
Thanks #Microsoft#Office365 admin panel - yet more sloppy work in the world of I.T. which is ever so common these days. Every day supporting this stuff is so disappointing.
Just as we got a conviction in the #Vastaamo case, now #Helsinki primary education IT has been breached and 120k students', parents' and teachers' info has been stolen.
Details are sparse, but parts of what has been revealed sound like a #Office365#breach to me. Not confirmed though.
"Possibly the largest data breach affecting [Finland's] municipal sector"
"Aber München - #LiMux hat doch gezeigt, dass Open Source nicht klappt! - Diese Killerphrase muss sich jede*r anhören, der oder die #OpenSource in der ÖV einsetzen will💀
Dieses Totschlag-Argument wird von Steffen Voß fundiert und überzeugend entzaubert ✨ 🧙♂️
I hate that my paid for enterprise account on #Microsoft#Office365 is part of A/B testing. The screen I get when adding calendar entries has different form fields randomly, it is really jarring.
I miss the days of having software on a computer. This software never changed or went wrong unless you broke it or upgraded it. All these web services change and break constantly ;(
This, right here, is the sign of bad #UX. When I reload this page, it's going to lose all of my state. And this is #Office365, a supposedly professional product. (It's not, it's trash.) When I refresh, it's going to cycle through a handful of SSO pages with no input on my part, take me back to this document, and have lost all context. (Top of the document, cursor before the first character, all comments/edits/etc. collapsed or hidden.)
Office 365 apparently messes with how email works in so many ways. "All of a sudden" SMTP authentication does not work anymore for one of my customers, and fixing that is apparently not easy.
Whatever happened to the simplicity of email: Sending uses SMTP, receiving is either IMAP or POP3.
@Skoop Yeah its all in the name of #security, but that's complete and utter shit in my book. #Office365 is basically turning email into a walled garden where you have to use their clients to make full use of the service which severely restricts its usefulness in my book.
Last I heard it's possible to use "legacy" protocols by setting up app passwords, but for all I know they have stopped allowing for that too. Wouldn't surprise me.
A telling line at the end of the email, which points to #governance in #platformization: "It is important to highlight that the terms of use of Office 365 Education are defined exclusively by Microsoft".
I really wished the EU or something would step up against the monopoly #Microsoft has on #email with #Office365#Microsoft365. MS and #Google as well seem to decide who can deliver mail to their servers and who can’t (spoiler, anyone other than MS or Google).
You can tick off all the boxes (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, no spam reputation) and still they decide whether they want to deliver your mail or not. At the same time they happily spam your mail servers though.
Fun and games with email today… Yahoo and Google have stepped up their filtering game, requiring stricter DKIM/DMARC.
That broke my workplace email addresses.
Consequently, I wound up reviving my old yahoo.com.au email address… fun and games remembering the password to an account I haven't used regularly in the better part of 25 years.
Thankfully, I must've logged in more recently, and changed the password… and crucially, stored it in the password manager. So it's working again.
My home mail server: delivers to the old Yahoo account, no problems at all.
SPFv1 for both work's domains are correct, how the hell does a hobby server admin like me get something right that professionals like Microsoft get wrong?
More #Office365#Microsoft#Cloud joy..
Trying to enable audit logging: "To run this command, you first need to run the command: Enable-OrganizationCustomization."
Connect with PowerShell and issue the command:
"This operation is not required. Organization is already enabled for customization."
What is not to enjoy. Cloud computing simplicity etc. #SoftwareGore
The DMARC record is used to authenticate mail to ensure that the message is not fraudulent. But did you know that you can also set a DMARC record for the default onmicrosoft.com domain?
The onmicrosoft.com (also called MOERA) domain can be spoofed as well, so it is recommended to set DMARC record for the domain as well. More in my today's blog post 👇
