Keep in mind that AD, Office, and Exchange is he holy trinity of getting hacked in the last years.

There are companies that sell parts from used servers, e.g. SAS controllers for PCI.

I’ve got systems that can detect suspicious activities in the net, which result in a shutdown of the router. And not like “could you please shut down” but a hard power off type of shutdown.

Indeed. Whatever you put in a cloud needs backups. Not only at the cloud provider, but also “at home”.

There has been a case of a cloud provider shutting down a few months ago. The provider informed their customers, but only the accounting departments that were responsible for the payments. And several of those companies’ accounting departments did not really understand the message except for “needs no longer be paid”.

So for the rest of the company, the service went down hard after a grace period, when the provider deleted all customer files, including the backups…

When you are working locally, why don’t you use Samba for storing and sharing of documents?

I found a service that syncs our calendars self-hosted. That was the only thing that was missing. Can’t remember the name, works flawlessly and without any problems for a number of years now. If you are interested, I’ll look it up next weekend.

The very same reason why I gave up on Nextcloud. Too many nasty surprises.

And here I was wondering where it went…

When I get replies in my inbox, there is the first icon under it (chain=Link). When the comment it links to is not on the first page, it simply does not go there, it just opens the first page and that’s that.

No. Just reducing the profits should be sufficient.

Dang. No hits for the three topics I was looking for.

But they only took the domain name, not the server? So it should be no issue to just get another domain, change a bit of config on the system and web server, and be up and running in no time?
