  • I know I did this for damn near every game i got as a kid, but I distinctly remember in middle school doing this in the back of my step-fathers pickup truck with a copy of Skyrim on PC. It had just come out the night before and I was shocked Walmart still had any copies.

  • Been using this in my homelab. Pretty great for Linux machines.

    If you need to host for a windows network, samba can provide a Windows Server 2008 level AD DC, as well as print and file servers.

    You could always install bare LDAP and Kerberos, but then again you could also try eating a cinderblock.

    There are alternatives, but they all have their usecases and compromises in comparison. Most businesses want a cookiecutter one size fits all solution. AD is the closest thing.

  • Which is why I'm no longer interested in supporting them lol.

    You don't get to run a commercial entity under the guise of open source software, and giving back to the community, while prioritizing inter-compatibility with the king of EEE over the most popular FLOSS alternative.

    Rocky has been good to me, but I still miss centos.

    Honestly the only thing I've had trouble getting working with freeIPA with no alternative is some sort of centralized ROM management. Then again they all kinda lack any sync features with retroarch which is what would really bring me to them anywho.

  • Pretty much. Its nice but I find trying to get it to do anything other than cookie cutter operations requires you to not only go around the GUI, but in many cases break it.

    Also lotta shit that was supposed to work sucked too. The GUI always seemed to have a 50% chance of clobbering my ACLs when editing them, and encryption was either entirely password based, or the keys where stored with no passphrase on an unencrypted dataset.

    My rocky nas has Luks on mdraid for the root which hold the keys for the zfs pools, and CLI based acl management is pretty ezpz once you learn it.

  • That's what I've been doing for a good bit now.

    I used to do a split environment on ad but I didn't feel I was really getting anything out of windows, other than ease of use with TrueNAS.

    Still haven't gotten TrueNAS working with FreeIPA, but running a NAS off of rocky isn't too bad either if you don't mind the extra setup.

    The nice thing about downstream distros is you don't actually have to deal with redhats shit to use their stuff.

  • Unrelated but this pissed me off.

    using a Microsoft innovation called Active Directory

    The only Microsoft innovation there was Embracing, Extending, and Extinguishing LDAP and Kerberos.

    I will NEVER forgive boomer admins for allowing that. I don't mean to be presumptive, maybe its just where I work, but old guard windows admins seem to be fucking lazy dipshits as a rule.

    I've never met sysadmins/engies who give so little a shit about what they're setting up and why. If you only care that it works, and not how, why the fuck are you in this industry? Go get an MBA like the unskilled, uncaring sap you are and fuck off from my special interest.

    Man that got derailed quickly lol, though I guess it explains why they're all using domains they don't own...
