Fair point - Microsoft has definitely made it easier for cross-platform deployment with Entra ID, and for many orgs the F3 license math works out. May I ask, has the fact that the …

That's the plan. I still have to figure out a lot but it's fun!

Thanks! I sure will, its my first own rack in a new data centre actually :-) kinda a long-term member of the homelab movement

Honestly, I wish I could stick with LDAP forever, it just worked. But no. My first setup in 2004 was OpenLDAP all the way for every service. I am moving to a new server over Christ…

I'm working on an open-source identity platform (Rust, AD-compatible, native OIDC) and trying to figure out whether this is a real problem or something I've convinced myself matter…

Stay vigilant. Our German conservatives will repeat the process to restrict our human rights over and over until it slips through the cracks. It's funny how politicians want laws a…

1. I find it hard to call this a sovereign cloud. This is still Azure - albeit with the crown jewels cut out - in a different dress. Did they verify there is nothing inside that Az…

Systems against money laundering only work against average Joe/Jane. Really wealthy people just make a deal with a bank of their choice and launder money legally.

The wonderful thing about money is: its roots are only in belief, not in fact. If you get a sufficient amount of money users to believe pink colored dog poop has more value than a …

Have you ever use any of those in a realistic scenario? Any existing CI/CD solution is broken like hell and if you try to do more advanced stuff like reusing templates or actions, …

In reality executives are responsible when the company is doing well. When mistakes happen it is either handled by insurance or by firing an employee who was only partially involve…

That remark about blue states is pretty meaningless. Red states do much worse. You could simplify the whole post by to express that any state or political party in the US is abhorr…

Finally someone might get that the concept of a free market is a fairy tale

If a product becomes unstable due to increased competition it's not exactly been stable before. Also the whole premium is quite off. You got good items for fair prices before facto…

Considering I talked about a truly free market, central planning then seems to be a weird reaction. Why would that be related? It's not like I suggested a Chinese system, I advocat…

But I think we're missing an important point here: moving production to low cost environments just moves costs from business costs into external costs, putting them on society. As …

The special kind of freedom that is limited to one specific group of people. See recent events for reference.

Not really. The opposite. The current market is centralized a lot more than people want to see or admit. I had trust in the free market for a long time but it has not really materi…

This makes a good argument against centralized production and knowledge. It would economically be much more reasonable if any good could be produced anywhere at any time. Smaller p…

Hasn't that point already been reached given the US could not sustain itself in any reasonable way without Chinese labor and knowledge? There seem to be a lot of companies in the S…

There never was any need for advertising, except for someone desiring to get paid for it. you know it's a scam the moment they promise you more than 2% returns.

If history shows anything than it is that companies will abuse workers if there is no organization and legislation stopping them. The fact that some get a good salary but way more …

If you are except from following copyright rules you should also not be able to retain rights for material crafted based on what you got. It's that simple.

Location: Germany / Singapore / Thailand Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: depends on the offer. Technologies: OpenStack, Kubernetes, Ansible, Terraform preferred. I'm in engineerin…
