Who would have thought that when you centralise every-bodies corporate email infrastructure on one provider you can knock out the entire economy pretty easily?

I don't need to preach to the Lemmy community but this is one reason moving everything to the cloud is risky.

    (tiny voice) Oh no. My work email. It's not working. That's terrible. (/tiny voice)

    Sent emails this morning using my extremely reliable self hosted system then remembered the recipients and the rest of Australia use Ronald McDonald cheeseburger emails. Not my problem.

    My core email is still postfix and dovecot and has been for a long time now. There is extra stuff to support dkim, spf, mta-sts, cert renewals, spam, abuse etc. We use native imap clients. No webmail or calendaring or integration with office/document stuff. Run a totally separate system for end to end encrypted messaging, group chat etc. Not really big into the self hosting thing except as a means to an end. Less is more for me but mail isn't much of a hassle in return for a lot of control.

    Quieter morning for me at least, nothing getting in or out on the work email. Hopefully I won't get a flood of urgent stuff coming through when they get it back up again.

    The company portal profile broke on my android phone so I couldn't make calls without a reboot. I'm loving this

    Completely unfounded Conspiracy Theory; Jenson Huong had a dead-man’s switch in all Nvidia GPUs which will cause the failure of all LLMs globally when he is fired.

    MS Outlook being down is just the beginning of the end of the AI Bubble.

    I saw this before I started work and immediately blasted everyone MICROSOFT HAS SHAT THE BED. NO I CAN'T FIX IT. IF SITES NEED KDMS, GET A GMAIL FROM THEM.

    (we email out a lot of cryptographic keys so that cinemas can unlock and play films. My boss is also a person who thinks any form of mail issue is a life-threatening event caused by Problems Taleya Must Fix. )

    Guess they just haven't invested in AI enough 🤷

    I wonder if their AI directive, or if their recent buyout option / layoff for one fourth the workforce had anything to do with this?

    Nah, it was probably just an intern somewhere.

    Or maybe the crazy leftists hacked Microsoft!?
