Entry level Dell servers that used to cost 1,700 US are now going for 17,000!!! I'm talking absolute basics with 16GB of memory etc. Wild times.

Yikes, that's a rough outlook. Not disagreeing with it, just poking at it a bit from a distance, and hoping that you experience a change in direction after a couple days.

New comment by imperialdrive in "A million+ tenants worth of data accessible via every install of Synology"

imperialdrive — Sat, 28 Jun 2025 03:22:23 +0000

Yikes. Copy of TL;DR from the Reddit discussion:

Every single bit of data (that you wanted to back up using Active Backup for Microsoft 365) in your Microsoft 365 tenant, could have also been accessed by a malicious actor. The exact period for which this flaw existed for is unknown, but it was fixed by Synology after modzero disclosed it to them. Inspecting the setup process once, of any Synology Active Backup for Microsoft 365 install - gives you the master key to all M365 tenants that had authorised the Active Backup for Microsoft 365 enterprise app.

Finally gave Claude a go after trying OpenAI a while and feeling pretty _meh_ about the coding ability... Wow, it's a whole other level or two ahead, at least for my daily flavor which is PowerShell. No way a double-digit amount of jobs aren't at stake. This stuff feels like it is really starting to take off. Incredible time to be in tech, but you gotta be clever and work hard every day to stay on the ride. Many folks got comfortable and/or lazy. AI may be a kick in the pants. It is for me anyway.

I know we're talking about AWS and Azure here, but had to add that fwiw, the M365 admin interface(s) are so bad it practically feels like a prank. In other words, it's as though someone is purposely making them as chaotic as possible to what end I can't even guess.

Mind over matter. Don't forget to meditate, and try to keep the loop running in the background too.
