Well, MailGun shut us off again for no reason. Only ever takes a ticket and a day to get it fixed, but holy crap what a waste of time and not being able to email out for a day is crazy annoying. So that got me authorized to move everyone to Zoho ASAP. Woo Hoo. So my quiet weekend just became a Zoho migration!
Mailgun was/is a email provider? I guess I assumed it was just a mass market mailing solution.

What's the difference? Obviously the "goals" or "intentions" are different, but both are just SMTP services. What makes GMail one thing and MailGun another is in the intended usages of its users.
-
Lots of people try to use GMail as a mass email marketing solution, for example.

Office 365 Business Essentials suite -- tough to beat that price point.
Is it? What features are you getting at what price? For a small business (tiny), where is the value?
I’ll make a thread about it later when I get home from visiting family. It’s something I’ve been wanting to think through for a bit. Figured I’ll do it for all of ML to critique

Netflix night with the wife.

Huge amount of old email cleanup. Man I store a lot of stuff.

@scottalanmiller Aforementioned thread will happen sometime tomorrow. Finishing up composition project final, then doing work stuff.

looking for a cheap way to run up some test Windows VMs. Should I be able to do that on a linux VPS with Solus?

Should not be able to do it on any VPS. The assumption with any VPS is that you can't virtualize on top. YOu don't get IP addresses, virt extensions, etc.

Some do. I found a good one before, but pricing was a few dollars more than my current one and just didn't feel like switching then. I'd do it now though.

Nothing like a good power outage to start out a Monday morning :unamused_face:

Who was that?

@scottalanmiller Yep - both home and work are a little under an hour from Buffalo.
Outage only lasted a couple of minutes, and no one called me to say that their computer immediately shut off and they lost their work :thumbs_up:. Last one exhausted my supply of spares...

Can't remember right now. I will find it. It looked pretty good from what I remember.

HostDoc does... but that's not the one I found when I was looking before and almost pulled the trigger on.
I might have it bookmarked on my other computer that I can't check right now. -

@scottalanmiller Lockport / Wilson
Cool. Did I know that? We had an intern in Lockport two years ago. I grew up in Wyoming County.
