Ah, Oracle Cloud.
More interested in having me buy now, sign up or talk to sales than allow me to report a phishing site.
Its bad when a "Oracle Cloud report abuse" search turns up Google, Microsoft and Zoho's abuse forms, but nothing for Oracle.
Just give me an email address!2021-12-07T16:40:08Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers
May have just lost my ERP install due to an undocumented change in the updater.Awesome.Thankfully managed to redo the update without issue.
This is partly why I get the strong urge to write all my own software - if it fucks up, it's my fault.2021-12-01T16:48:43Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers
Microsoft are taking the piss now.Every reported email has been flagged as malware, plus the same email from a different address.They've added forwarded emails to the admin notifying them of the original phishing email and emails from me discussing whats going on.I give up.

Just for comparison, this is my email server's rspamd instance processing one of the emails.Yeah.FOSS is inferior to proprietary /s.2021-12-01T12:54:04Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers
There is literally no point reporting phishing emails to Microsoft, they just ignore it.These are all the same emails sent to different users, all reported within a few minutes of being received, and with the scamming email address blocked.Useless.

Isn't that a synonym for "Microsoft"? 😆

Can hosting companies make it obvious where you're meant to report abuse/phishing/malware sites they're hosting please?
My enthusiasm for reporting crap on your services runs out pretty quick if it isn't on your contact page or in your docs.2021-10-26T14:32:37Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers
This was me trying to search for some scam emails that evaded detection, so I could narrow down why they'd slipped past.Just to kick me whilst I was down, MS quarantined the emails I was sending to the client using the same rule that should have filtered the scam emails in the first instance.I give up.2021-10-26T12:40:32Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers
This is why my blood pressure spikes whenever I use Microsoft products - hidden errors that I can't fix in "clever" UIs that slow down my work day.
Even trying to report the problem results in another hidden error.
Give me a misbehaving Linux box any day.So many health issues in the world have probably originated from the use of MS products... 😂
I don't know how much further MS can go down in my estimation.2021-09-25T15:25:42Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers

Yes, that is a phishing page sent to a client.
Yes, it is a subdomain of `windows.net`.
Yes, it is owned by Microsoft.
No, it isn't new https://www.zscaler.com/blogs/security-research/abusing-microsofts-azure-domains-host-phishing-attac...
No, there isn't a clear way of reporting this.
No, they won't spare a few million to attempt to fix this.2021-07-28T17:27:56Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers
TIL the exported audit log from Microsoft Compliance Admin centre can silently miss entries.
I wasted over an hour finding that out.
And people wonder why I dislike Microsoft products.2021-07-01T08:02:33Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers
Whilst Github Copilot sounds cool, I can't see it being used commercially.
It sends your code to Github first, then how do you evidence where the suggested code comes from?
I can't imagine a company opening themselves up to liabilities of wrt confidentiality or code providence.2021-06-16T17:51:53Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers

Now Firefox 89 has landed in Fedora and I've seen the new UI "in the flesh", I don't hate it.I don't like it either, but with userChrome and https://github.com/MrOtherGuy/firefox-csshacks I can put it back to how I like it.I'm dreading the day Mozilla removes userChrome though, and I'd be very tempted to start looking for an alternate browser at that point.I cannot fathom why Mozilla won't leave, and promote, userChrome for the tinkerers and power users.It could just sit there behind a "This may break stuff, only enable if you're OK with this" preference and they'd placate the users who want to customise Firefox and keep users who just want a working browser away from unwanted side effects.But I can't see that happening, and the reasons Firefox became popular in the first place (new features, customisability and a expanding group of evangelising users) don't exist any more.2021-06-08T14:54:43Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers
Selecting a "Date Only" data type doesn't create a date only data type.
You also have to select the "Date only" Behaviour, under a default collapsed section, for it to be date only.
Fucking hell.
