Right? That’s like giving your age in days. “Oh, I’m a little more than 15,000 days old.”

The problem is that many peoples’ opinions tend to be ill informed, irrational, and stupid.

(I know this post is a month old, but I just came across it.)

We deal with this by not dealing with it, so to speak. We keep the on-prem AD account disabled and just move it to a synced OU called “Terminated”, then strip all group memberships/permissions from it. Once we’ve held onto the shared mailbox for the required length of time, we then delete both the on-prem AD account and the shared mailbox.

Don’t get me wrong, a pihole is good to have for anyone who has the competency to set one up. They’re not the answer to stopping people from sharing AMP links, is all.

Because a pihole doesn’t stop people from sharing AMP links, it only prevents you from viewing them. So it’s probably not a good answer to give when someone recommends that other people not use AMP links.

Does having a pihole somehow stop people from posting AMP links?

I don’t know, go ask him… seriously, we need contributors. :D

Sure, crosspost away. As long as we’re not getting too many duplicate posts within /c/sysadmin about the same topic, it doesn’t matter much the source.

If you’re preparing for it, is it really that “unexpected”…?

If they absolutely refuse to allow you to share or email an individual vs. a distro group then I’d do it that way, but not using an “anyone with the link” share depending on the sensitivity of the information. If it’s something that isn’t as sensitive sure, but otherwise they’ll need to setup credentials with that distro group and use it to login to access the shared folder.

Usually in these kind of situations I fall back to sharing a OneDrive / Teams (SharePoint) folder out to the external vendor. Anyone can say that they can’t receive the encrypted email and there could be legitimately good reasons for that, but if they don’t know how to login to 365 to access a shared folder that’s on them.

I share your sentiment at this point. I saw a thread where the one Lemmy dev / admin was talking about how they will not use Cloudflare or other major CDNs for lemmy.ml, and that they host on some minor provider because of privacy concerns. They said they were focusing on optimizing the Lemmy code instead to make it more efficient.

While I understand that and those concerns aren’t wrong, and certainly the code should always be written to be more efficient… at some point it’s going to meet the reality of millions of ex-reddit users hitting them, and they seem wholly unprepared for that. /u/Ruud seems to know what they’re doing with lemmy.world and building it to be able to scale.

Even though I’ve created the /c/Sysadmin sub on a handful of the larger Lemmy servers now, I’m thinking that lemmy.world will be my main going forward.

Hey @ruud@lemmy.world , thanks for chiming in here on /c/Sysadmin! I’ve been trying to figure out how to best manage the Sysadmin communities I’ve setup across different Lemmy servers, but it’s looking like lemmy.world might be my new home server since it appears to have the best uptime and stability. 😉
