News: Sen. Elizabeth Warren wants to build a new agency to police Big Tech ( www.theverge.com )

The bill, sponsored by Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), would create a new agency called the Digital Consumer Protection Commission that would be empowered to go after giant tech firms for a slew of anti-competitive behaviors and failing to protect consumer privacy.

It’s either something like this, or you trust big tech corporations to police themselves. Do you have a 3rd option?

“Corporate self governance” doesn’t exist. Whatever fucks the consumer for more profit is the only rule they follow.

Yeah, I’m not even sure which option I’m in favor of. It’s a shit situation all around.

Hello c/sysadmin, and welcome to the Patch Megathread!

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

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.

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.

FYI, I’m not going to remove this post or anything (and I agree as well), but it’s not likely to be seen by the right people here. /c/Sysadmin is just our community for discussing sysadmin things and I don’t know how much /u/Ruud or any Lemmy devs hang out here.

You might try cross-posting it to these communities:
!lemmy
!lemmyworld
!lemmy_support
!support

Of note, lemmy.ml is the server that is operated by the primary Lemmy devs.

Hybrid Azure AD users who have been converted to shared mailbox can't be deleted. ( learn.microsoft.com )

When offboarding a user, the option to retain that user’s mailbox and give other people access is, convert to a shared mailbox. When you do this it doesn’t delete the user account. It still shows up as an active, unlicensed user. This can be sort of troubling as reporting of active user counts still includes those users....

(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.

Calling all /r/sysadmin reddit refugees!

I setup this community specifically because of the time I’ve spent over the years browsing and relying on reddit.com/r/sysadmin for sources of information on tips/tricks, security exploits & patches, outages, and yes even the ranting about how our jobs all suck. (I like mine, for what it’s worth.)...

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.

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.

Hey @ruud , 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. 😉
