Monday morning and Microsoft goes down across the board

No office
No teams
No SharePoint
No azure
Not any fucking thing.

Well done ass hats, not like I had anything to do today 😓

I keep telling people not to put their entire business process on the cloud, they just never listen and then come crying whenever something goes wrong and demanded that I somehow fix it, I'm like... "You ran your stuff on THEIR servers, there isn't a damn thing I can do about it, because I have no control over it unless we start buying our own server and run them in-house."

"But what about Office? Team? Sharepoint? Azure?!"

1. Libreoffice

2. Element/Matrix Chat

3. Unironically, Element/Matrix, it support file upload (400 MB limit if you do it on self-host) and you can observe chat history similarly to Discord so you can create a poster channels

4. Linode if you must, Local Servers is priority

If they operate on cloud, they would have to factor in the cost to pay their employee time during the outage and also pay for the cloud service that they WILL NOT REIMBURSE YOU during the outage.
