I’ve had nothing but issues administrating Office 365. A price hike like this is incentivizing me to push other products like Google workspace.

Nice parts are definitely user email tools and some of the audit tools, but I keep finding myself in scenarios where I get error 500s on the server side when I pop open dev tools and it’s like I don’t want to tell my users that they’re SOL but they sort of are if I can’t resolve some error on Microsoft’s o365 servers. Microsoft likes to ask what I did to fix the case if I fix it before they do and I just laugh and not rely to those. They can pay me extra for that or hire me if they want that info.

I've been using one drive for my phone photos backup, joplin notes store and keepass. It seemed like the most economical solution cus other vendors don't really offer 1TB, it's usually something stupid like jumping from 200GB or 2TB. Don't know if I should invest in a NAS or something, but I just don't wanna deal with the hardware and networking if I have to open some ports at home , unless I can use cloudflare as well

Look into Syncthing if you have a home server - very easy phone backups that cost nothing.

I use ms office 2007 it runs perfectly in wine and still has the cool version of wordart

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Huh, do you think I can run Office 2013 in Wine? It'd the best version of office IMHO.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 days ago (1 children)

No idea, that one has the boring word art

Would I see Copilot in the OHook'd Office 365? If not, yay!

This is like adding ESPN to the live TV package.

So glad I never had to deal with cable, or internet companies.

Just $25/month with Visible and I have unlimited data with tethering.
