Another small suggestion - 14 days seems way too short for a trial; most SaaS trials are 30 and I often end up emailing for extensions before onboarding a new vendor. This is not a cost skimp, it's to avoid making the wrong decision.
Not everyone goes to the cloud by default. There are many orgs out there that want full data sovereignty for better infosec without relying on someone else's servers.
This kind of comment (not your actual comment) shows the pitifully simplistic people making crucial decisions in UK public IT. On prem vs off prem
has nothing to do with this yet cloud is phrased as a key tenet of improvement. I suppose give it a few years it'll be described as "LLM ready" too.
Thanks for posting and well
done. Small suggestion for your writing style: use less ALL CAPS / BOOM! / WOW! styles and embrace less dramatic wording: it would make your site read more professionally and be easier to digest. Good luck.
Another horrible idea akin to anti adblock detection. VPNs are there for a reason and historically originate from corporate LANs needing to extend to executives' company devices. They're now mainstream and many millions of corporate devices will have all egress traffic routed through corp data centres that are by definition VPN endpoints, or cloud solutions like Palo Alto GlobalProtect. Have extreme caution using something like this.
I'm almost leaning toward a loose paper notebook, a small desktop scanner for when I get back from the office and coding up a tensorflow OCR automation to run a little container that ships pdfs to Nextcloud in nice folders. If I need to view a previous note, it's on my Nextcloud everywhere. Minimal vendor lock in, actual paper too, but a lot of moving parts.
Tl;DR - Apple's own apps tend to be quite good at not tracking you, whilst others call a wide variety of proprietary and third party tracking endpoints.
Why is there absolutely nothing cached by default? How many times does the topology of the Atlantic Ocean change every day that an outline cannot even be shown? I get not caching high zoom levels, but there is literally zero optimisation here done.
I made some ufw/firewalld rules to block all inbound traffic to my servers from cheaper VPS providers like Contabo, OVH and DigitalOcean, to filter out bots and scrapers. I have repeatedly seen attacks originating from these providers due to compromised servers (probably due to less technical customers compared to AWS/GCP leaving :22 open), or customers who are running data scrapers for their next big LLM I'd rather not entertain (due to cheaper pricing than AWS for egress traffic I'd guess). Data correct as of 13-Dec-2023. Disclaimer: I am not saying these corporations are malicious; like all networks they are subject to abuse from their customers.
i know it might sound like something from an alien movie but my setup is 100% on premise with no Azure or O365. I did some googling which says an "HTTP PING" is kept going like a long running socket essentially. I think I'd still need to pcap the Exchange cluster to determine what happens before and after a notification fires.
Pretty much a non story and hence MS didn't bother entertaining Akamai's rage bait post here. A lot more things can go wrong with a default AD install as others said. Yawn.
