First of all it clearly says counter clockwise so like first of all don’t rotate it clockwise like I did. Then secondly google image search rick roll. Thirdly consider the methods and time people go to to land a joke. Like I wonder if it was assisted by AI to just obfuscate it just enough to not be obvious.

Anyway I had to go to the comments too but mostly because I didn’t read the instructions.

Who needs 20! Lol. Says more about me than you.

Hey so it seems like you don’t really get licensing or ‘too expensive’ is just business speak for wanting it done free.

Exchange plan 1 licenses are minimally very very small licenses, but you can get even cheaper. You can even get exchange kiosk. Kiosk isn’t designed for users, it’s designed for things like an MFP then you’re allowed to relay with an authenticated startTLS account setup on the MFP to connect to exchange Online.

However, if you don’t use an authenticated account, you can still send internally. That way your inevitable compromised device doesn’t spam the world with mail throttle Microsoft servers. However you can scan to your own internal staff. And by internal staff I’m guessing at more and more here but I’m betting you have two mail domains. Only domains in your exchange Online Admin centre which are added into the domains, will be ‘internal’.

If you wanted hybrid you should do hybrid using the hybrid configuration wizard and it will connect your on premises exchange to your exchange Online using mail transports. You need to fix up a bunch of things to get that connected. But doing so will count the mailboxes which are on premise as ‘internal’ and unauthenticated mail will be allowed to relay to them.

But 40 exchange online only accounts with exchange plan 1 is hardly a few seconds of wage time per month in costs.

I’m guessing a lot here, but you said you have two different mail servers currently, online and on premise, I can only assume you’ve either got two different mail domains otherwise MX routing would be dead to one or the other. And I guess that because you said you’re getting errors that only happen when you send mail to external users.

So…

How are they placing this data? Api? Not possible to align disk tiers to api requests per minute? Api response limited to every 1ms for some clients, 0.1ms rate for others?

You’re pretty forthcoming about the problems so I do genuinely hope you get some talking points since this issue affects, app&db design, sales, and maintenance teams minimally. Considering all aspects will give you more chance for the business to realise there’s a problem that affects customer experience.

I think from handling tickets, maybe processes to auto respond to rate limited/throttled customers with 'your instance been rate limited as it has reached the {tier limit} as per your performance tier. This limit is until {rate limit block time expiry}. Support tickets related to performance or limits will be limited to P3 until this rate limit expires."

Work with your sales and contracts team to update the sla to exclude rate limited customers from priority sla.

I guess I’m still on the “maybe there’s more you can do to get your feet out of the fire for customer self inflicted injury” like correctly classifying customer stuff right. It’s bad when one customer can misclassify stuff and harm another customer with an issue by jumping a queue and delaying response to real issues, when it’s working as intended.

If a customer was warned and did it anyway, it can’t be a top priority issue, which is your argument I guess. Customers who need more, but pay for less and then have a expectation for more than they get. It’s really not your fault or problem. But if it’s affecting you I guess I’m wondering how to get it to affect you less.

If it’s possible to do, and it causes a user experience issue, especially one as jarring as “stop accepting writes” you should start adding rate limits and validate inputs with rate limits expressed to the user before they hit the error rate.

To me you should already be sanitising input anyway, and this would just be part of that logic. If a user is trying to upload more than x it warns (with link to documentation of the limit). If user has gone past the rate limits, then error.

I’m not a sre or dev, just a sysadmin though. Users expect guard rails. If it’s possible, it’s permitted.

Many of those types while having great brightness and reduced image burn in actually have terrible quality images. Eg no hdr, some may only be 30hz, some may have the contrast ratio which is so low you’ll just be sad to watch a movie on it looking at a black grey mush.

Though like all things, there’s a gradient. Some of the conference room monitor panels can be better but often >3x more expensive than the consumer model due to much better warranty (eg same day parts).

So I don’t have any advice here, just a bit of warning with experience with being around zoom, teams, and display walls from an IT solutions perspective,though generally I use AV partners for model selection and installation on any meaningfully sized conference/boardroom room or special application eg stages.

Look it depends on the age of the car, but let’s take an old manual car for example.

On those cars, there’s a fuel map to rpm. There’s actually a few maps including throttle and ignition timing. But think of a spreadsheet of rpm and fuel at a certain throttle load.

At 0 throttle: The map says to stop the engine from stealing at under say 800 rpm it needs to have fuel added at rpms lower than that to speed up the engine to avoid stalling. At 800rpm it needs a consistent amount kind of a known amount that keeps it in equilibrium. At over 800rpm it needs less fuel the more rpm it has over the idle 800rpm until it’s zero fuel.

And you’ll feel that, you’ll feel that moment the car starts adding fuel because if you’re only engine braking to a stop your car will get near that idle rpm and your engine will start adding power to avoid a stall, and your braking will diminish.

If you take an engine out of a car and try to spin it by turning the crank shaft, it will be hard to turn because the cylinders need to compress air (it’s required before adding fuel and spark to explode that compressed air so it expands).

When that engine is in the car, and you don’t add fuel and spark, then the cars wheels have to turn the engine and compress that air, thousands of times per minute. That force that the wheels have to send to the engine to spin that engine slows you down.

I’m thinking you think the engine itself has a brake on it… No.

Personally, it’s the power of powershell that I use for the hundreds of windows servers. Otherwise it’s the power of Linux bash shell scripts for the dozens of Linux servers. None of the Linux servers run a gui so there’s no options there. Tbh for me, self documenting gui is the slowest way to do work. Configuring hundreds at once with peer reviewed scripts and change control is much more effective since the peer review and change control will be needed either way.

Oh though I use fortimanager a lot of configuring dozens of Fortigates. Only have a few scripts on it though.

So personally the way I wish I could have this is blur on my sfw account, and not blur it on my nsfw account.

Instead I have to unblur on both, and hide all nsfw on one account.

The irony is, if I just installed a second lemmy client I could have it work the way I want.
