And not all software plays well with it, not the free stuff anyway. Anything that authenticates via prototypical linux/UNIX methods needs to be able to talk to the PAM stack.

But the simple fact is while it works via SSSD and PAM black magic it needs careful organization and thought at the domain level and nobody is willing to do that so fuck it.

Essentially the boss made this argument a while back that it is absurd we have this perfectly good authentication infrastructure and why weren't we using it? I went a bit FOSS warrior in response which of course always fails.

A lot of VM testing of Linux with AD auth. It's come a Long way in the lat five years but I've had a very curious reaction to it all and don't like how much I need to rely on AD admins. I'd rather do the bit of extra work and just use more traditional methods. Am I just being reactionary?

I have to go back and tinker with it occasionally thus repleneshing the camel hump of hate (thank you Bill Hicks).

I strongly dislike YAML and particularly the decision to use it for config tasks. It's just damn silly.

I'd have noped the fuck out of there the moment the very obvious reciprocating engine sound started.

Also I know it's probably the Brit in me but scheduling anything during lunch is bloody rude.

Pet hate: being scheduled on unusual hours (1-7pm) and management scheduling zoom meetings in the mornings that means going into work early lest you be late.

It was also the last year of my life that was normal. Six months later a series of seismic health problems would emerge. But I survived.

3yrs ago Today I went to LA for the Open Source Summit. The conference was great but I was surprised how much Iiked the place.

Going through a restructuring at the moment and I keep thinking of this gem from Peep Show:
