If anyone happens to remember half-life.fortunecity.net , I was your floating admin (I literally floated around the Map during death matches)
At it’s hayday, it was the 1st/2nd most popular server in the UK.
If I can remember, my little PC managed to handle 20 players, all on a 2mbit line, sneakily hosted in my server room at work in circa 2000…
Yeah, I’m that old.
Yes, our 365 team got estimates from Microsoft about 3 weeks ago.
If we don’t cull our usage before next August, our renewal will be £1m more than this year… That’s for 70,000 accounts and a whole lotta SharePoint.
Wait until Corporate sees the new data storage rates for 365 for next year and their potential new bill for cloud storage.
They’ll be spinning up those server room file servers in no time.
Until the directory structure and filename, including your SharePoint hostname, exceeds 400 characters and then it just breaks. Because, Microsoft.
Surprisingly easy to do with some quite nested folders with spaces in the names (as that takes 3 characters per space) and a long filename.
Agreed. A similar ‘hack’ could be “I bought a Steam Deck for free, all I had to do was to work for 22 hours at a job that earned me $25/hour”
