  • Non alcoholic radler? (Beer diluted with soda lemon - it is said that a brewery in munchen had too many cyclists one day and not enough beer to serve everyone, so in order to maximize profits and avoid leaving money on the table he decided to scam them by diluting the beer with lemon juice and saying "it's less alcoholic so it's perfect for you cyclists 😉" - and somehow they liked it instead of getting pissed)

  • Yes, Firefox detected that I shared to Whatsapp, then added the second link at the end of my message. I was pissed

  • What do you mean? This is supposed to be sent to my friends. To a friend, a real message would be like "I'm using Firefox, get it at firefox.com" and not "I'm using Firefox, get it at domain.tld/garbage".

    This time the "short" link isn't unique, but they still did this for tracking purposes and not for "convenience". I didn't check it but it will definitely resolve to something like hxxp://Firefox.domain ?utm_source=whatsapp&utm_medium=message&utm_campaign=promo&utm_id=wa-spam&utm_term=share&utm_content=click for maximum tracking analysis

    Edit: TIL Lemmy automatically removes tracking tags from URLs... I had to type again my delicious tracking link...

    Edit2: Lemmy removes tracking tags even from code blocks 😲

    Edit3: Lemmy removes tracking tags even with an invalid protocol

    Edit4: Lemmy removes tracking tags even with invalid TLD

  • When I bought the faucet for my bathtub, the regular one was 35€ while the thermostatic one was 60€. I wonder why they still make the regular ones

  • if i see domain.tld/garbage i have to assume they did it for tracking, not the opposite or for "shortening" it

  • there's no reason to use a "short" link when it's longer than the real "long" link

    Jump

  • Yes because the option to remove the advertisement link is inside Firefox. It might be that meta and Mozilla got some monetary agreement and this is even worse

  • They promote themselves as a privacy browser, so they should have placed a splash screen "help us spread", with the toggle to add the ads in my chats. Having that link on by default is not pretty, especially in WhatsApp conversations where you share ten links

  • If the link it's the same for everyone then they should have definitely used firefox.com or a dedicated domain, not domain.tld/garbage

  • They detect sharing on WhatsApp and inject the tracking link only on that case. It didn't do this yesterday so there's a chance it's on a/b testing

  • Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3

    Jump

  • I agree that managing nextcloud for hundreds of users is a mess but in my example it just needs the shared space, not any specific plugin, that means it can be replaced by any other cloud solution like paying onlyoffice to do the managed hosting for you at $8/user and doing work chats with anything that's not Microsoft teams

    Btw I find Debian+smb4 as a "set and forget" solution that needs to just be checked once a year as it requires less troubleshooting than Windows server. Only exception when Microsoft a couple years ago forced a different encryption on Windows 11 and clients couldn't login anymore. It was patched two years earlier but Debian is "stable" and didn't get the patch. Otherwise can pay ucs2 for commercial support

  • Average office worker won't even notice the difference between using a spreadsheet in onlyoffice shared with colleagues in nextcloud vs using a Microsoft® Excel document over onedrive.

    Nextcloud talk with the php backend sucks but compared to Microsoft teams isn't that awful anymore

    And using smb4 as active directory server is completely undistinguishable from a windows AD server. It uses the exact same Windows-based tools and GUI for adding new users, groups and policies. It's just slightly more complex to install. A new windows server license costs $1200 + $55 for each employee in the company. Put that money towards a Linux consultant paid $200/hour to install and configure it and it's the same. 2/3 hours to setup and 1 hour per year for maintenance. And anyway the consultant that is paid to install and configure the windows based active directory server isn't much cheaper, just easier to find.

  • Steps to slowly escape are this:

    1. Install Debian + samba 4 on a server, configure to run it as an active directory server
    2. Join that server to the work domain as a backup domain controller
    3. Install onlyoffice on all computers and set it to use onedrive
    4. Meanwhile install nextcloud and get used to that with a small part, with onlyoffice.
    5. Migrate the users that don't use too much Microsoft 365 to nextcloud instead of onedrive, onlyoffice+nextcloud instead of office, nextcloud talk instead of teams
    6. Start to decommission one windows domain controller and let the Debian domain controller do its work.
    7. The escape door is open, start to escape

    Alternatively can do the same with "Univention Corporate Server (UCS)", which is the same stuff, but packaged with a nicer UI (it's a paid product, based on Debian)

    In the short term, even if it's free, having someone do this work will definitely cost more than paying the license for windows server + all the user CALs + the office 365 subscriptions but I think ROI in 5-7 years
