Lincoln posted:MS Outlook suddenly became totally non-functional. About noon two days ago I received my last e-mail via MS Outlook 365 for Mac. Took about 24 hours for me to discover something was wrong. I just thought it was a slow day. Can you do a complete uninstall and reboot and try again?

That’s probably my next step, when I have the time. Do you think I’d need to uninstall the entire suite, or just Outlook?

Not 100% sure but if you get it all at once, it’ll be freshly patched and the like when you’re done. I almost wonder if it’s just a bad or corrupted profile too. You might see if you can create a new profile that will work (this is me thinking back to the Office 2003/2007 days, may not be applicable today).

Has anybody got experience with adding their music library / database to a Git repo (or equivalent)? I'm fed up with removing duplicate tracks and correcting metadata only for Apple to decide to gently caress it all up again for me, so I'm wondering if it'd be plausible to stick it all in a local repo and just do a revert anytime it gets changed.

Git and binaries don’t exactly play nice together. You’d frankly be better off just making a zip and sticking it somewhere. Failing that, snapshots of some kind I guess. Alternatively, Lidarr would probably be real real good at this. Probably do that and then zip things up.

Mercurius posted:It is indeed still applicable and that would be the first thing I'd try since that'll immediately show if it's just profile corruption. Microsoft has an article on how to do this available on this page. I deleted the old profile, and created a new one. One of two email addresses I manage work - the one that doesn’t is the important one. I’m not sure if the unimportant one was working under the original profile - I almost never use it, so I didn’t check before deleting, d’oh. I guess a clean 365 reinstall is the next step?

Yes, but check a few small things. If the same password is working in the web version, you know you’re not locked out. Definitely recheck that to make sure. I assume you had to retype all of the login information when recreating the profile. Just trying to think of any other little gotchas before you do. Not over quota on your email account? Does the account work in the default Mail app?

Meanwhile.. (Colbert stole that from me, I've been saying meanwhile for the past seven years) Big Sur 11.7.5, Monterey 12.6.4, and Ventura 13.3 are all in Release Candidate state, which means official rollout could be as soon as next Tuesday. Nobody's crowing about anything in the older OSes, but Ventura 13.3 is supposed to fix a bug with SMB / File Sharing / Finder that was infuriating people as of 13.2. Another meanwhile.. Ever wanted to blow away all of your photos on all your iCloud devices, everywhere? Just do what the President of Koingo Software did as mentioned in this blog entry: BTW, don't do this. https://www.koingosw.com/blog/?action=view&id=595 Koingo Guy posted:So, how does one accidentally wipe their entire iCloud full of photos without pressing any Delete or Erase button?

I've symlinked my icloud downloads folder to my ~/Downloads because I'm tired of having two Downloads folders ffs. However, I want the pretty little download icon that the local folder has in Finder. I tried to replace the linked folder's icon using Get Info but it just doesn't respond. Is it impossible to change a linked folder's icon? This is the icon of the folder in my home directory

I think the original blog post (which was deleted) said he was on vacation and trying to download all of the photos/videos he took. Maybe the laptop he was using was out of his normal routine and he thought he could just create a new library to download the media onto that machine and it instead wiped every device, including his normal library on his home desktop? Just guessing.

Someone in our office managed to delete about a hundred gig of data from OneDrive by mistake. I spent days trying to recover it from any of the machines that were synced, and it was absolute toast. That plus the constant little irritations it provides (won’t let me run macros on documents that I created from scratch due to security and none of the online guides to fix it work, and many more) have me soured against it and every Microsoft product. Windows is, and always has been, absolute loving garbage. Not that Apple have a particularly good foothold in the type of software we use so I’m sure that’s no better tbh, but I use Office suite on Windows machines so that’s what I’ll gripe about.

I have that same plan and I disagree - the way OneDrive handles photos is absolutely idiotic, unless something has changed over the last few years and it stopped treating all image files as something that should appear in the Photos section of OneDrive. I've also found uploading to OneDrive (at least from a Mac) is slow as hell and the client was unstable as hell when I tried it ~1 year ago. Works great on my Windows laptop at work though.

Yet another reminder that sync != backup I guess.

The slowdowns happened more when I was uploading several hundred gigs of large at a time, for context. I could have lived with it and/or chalked it up to doing a large initial upload and/or assumed it was temporary if the photos side of things wasn't so janky but photos is 95% of the reason I use cloud storage of any kind.

I’ve never once in years had a sync issue with iCloud, but I wouldn’t trust it as my one and only backup either mind.

If you have a Synology, backing up to OneDrive is a cinch. I just copy my pictures to the pictures folder and videos to the video folder and it uploads them automatically in the background, using the correct Microsoft account (I have one for my photos and another for my videos for 2TB). With Amazon Photos I had to do a dance and shuffle to get it all synced up since they removed API access a year or so ago.

It's nice that cloud sync services like OneDrive do have a way to recover data, but cloud storage sync options like OneDrive, Dropbox, iCloud Drive are not backups.

I don't know how many years ago this happened but, since at least two years, there is a dedicated "I hosed up and destroyed everything/got crypto locked" mode that will revert every single change up to a date of your choosing, even outside of the native limits on conventional versioning or maximum recycle bin retention. We used it on a couple of our accounts and we recovered 200+ gigs without issues.

We used it on a couple of our accounts and we recovered 200+ gigs without issues. Yeah, that’s why part of why it was confusing, because deleting all of the files on OneDrive client-side, or even using the webgui interface, would have deleted them all, but then sent it to the deleted items folder accessible via the webgui. So they would have had to have not only deleted it on their machine (or in their folders via the webgui), they would then have had to elected to go into the deleted items/recovery area and deleted all of the files there too. And then that doesn’t even get into what you mention, where the Office 365 Administrator (whether local to this office, or support provided by MS) could separately recover the files regardless of what the user themselves did for what they have access to. And I know the Administatror-side has had recovery capabilities above and beyond what is locally available, for at least 3-5 years now. The above functionality is definitely awesome too now though.
