🌃🎶 Cool night air, a hot sauna and some retro jazz. Having a week between two international adventures sure is good for some much-needed downtime 🙏

Grabbed a Too Good To Go surprise bag in Oslo from BIT Union. Just over 4€. Got this massive cornucopia of good stuff. 😛 Who says Norway is always expensive??

I'm off to Oslo to speak at Workplace Ninjas Norway - somehow my first trip to Norway! 🛫🇳🇴 Better late than never..

Cooking some good stuff w/ local ingredients in Ljubljana. Cherry tomatoes, red wine & seared beef salami with gnocchi coming together nicely.. 👌

Morning in Warsaw ☕ - today and tomorrow it's time for CollabDays Poland 2025.

Maester is one of those invaluable FREE tools that gets way too little attention. maester.dev #EntraID #Microsoft365 #CommunityRocks

Sunday cooking time again.. pan-seared chicken hearts, spicy ajvar, garlic, eggplant and herbs. So good! 🔥

It's somehow been a full year - but I'm back in Bremen again for CollabDays, preparing tomorrow's demos and listening to jazz from the tinny phone speakers in my hotel room. The döner & dürüm kebabs are still exquisite & are the first item on my to-do list whenever I get to Germany. A tradition.

BLOGGED: If you think documents and email in Microsoft 365 can only have one sensitivity label at a time, you would be right... but also wrong. Read more in my latest: seppala365.cloud/2025/02/15/p... #MicrosoftPurview #DataSecurity #Compliance

#Disobey2025 kicking off! 😎

Just watched the movie 'A Complete Unknown' covering the early days of Bob Dylan's career. Brilliant stuff, I highly recommend it!

A very pretty day for January standards in Kuopio, Finland

Today is a good day.

Had the pleasure of sitting down with the BlueScreen Brothers Alex & Olav for a fun chat about the human side of security and how it's often overlooked. Have a listen!

Oh by the way it turns out I was in the top 3% most active speakers on Sessionize last year. Pretty neat!

New work earbuds arrived! 👍 It was time for an upgrade after my old Mpow X5s finally gave up after 5 years of loyal and meritorous service. 🎧 The WH-1000XM5s have been my daily driver headphones all year so going for the buds as well was an easy call, especially after some recommendations.

A pause in the rain coincided with a few of the short hours of daylight we get now so it was time for a Sunday trip to explore the icy forests ❄️🌲 The slippery icy paths glazed with meltwater made for a different kind of adventure.. but equipped with a thermos of hot tea, I had a good time 🍵

A thing I've come to value in people is the ability to say "I don't know" - and more importantly, "I don't know, but let's find out" Building our identities around being people who know stuff isn't sustainable. A more healthy dynamic is to focus on curiosity, learning and gradual evolution.

I use KQL in Log Analytics & Advanced Hunting every week to inform the designs of Purview solutions I build - so I started writing about it to share some tips with you. The first part is out: seppala365.cloud/2024/12/17/p... #MicrosoftPurview #DataSecurity #Compliance

Earlier this month, I delivered my last session of the calendar year at the #ESPC24 conference in Stockholm on building custom Microsoft 365 Copilot usage analytics. It seems like people enjoyed the talk - the session received a solid score of 9.38/10. A nice way to wrap up the year! 🙏 Onwards.. ➡️

Microsoft Authenticator passkey auth has really grown on me lately 🌱 Easier and faster to use than app-based notifications, with MitM&Replay resistance to boot? Yes please. Even the initial registration feels pretty simple now. ✅ #EntraID #Passwordless

That's a wrap on #ESPC24. With it, my community adventures for the calendar year come to a close. Time to focus on the other aspects of life for a bit.

Did you know you can configure separate #Purview retention policies for #Microsoft365 #Copilot & Enterprise app Interactions? When configuring via PowerShell, remember to use Set-AppRetentionCompliance and not Set-RetentionCompliancePolicy. #Microsoft has not updated its documentation yet.

Winter has arrived ❄️

Another day, another undocumented #MicrosoftPurview limitation. 🥱 Turns out you can only add <=1000 exceptions to an All Users scoped sensitivity label publishing policy with the "Set-LabelPolicy -AddExchangeLocationException" PowerShell cmdlet. Why isn't this stuff in Learn? 🤷‍♂️

Found a new source of proper kimchi so.. it's time for some kimchi dogs 🌭🔥 yum!

Ok, so.. *all* M365 Copilot licensed organizations will get the SharePoint Advanced Management addon bundled in early next year. That's actually solid. I'm positively surprised. Source: www.microsoft.com/en-us/micros... #SharePoint #DataSecurity #Governance #M365Copilot
