    I was only there for a year or two, but it was a great place to work, and I 100% agree on the upstream contributors, but the main thing I will remember is how much people cared. In…

    Yup, and it has the advantage of having a easily backed up state store to represent the actions of the GUI. I always liked the octant UI autogeneration for CRDs and the way it just…

    Basically all of them? Even the DOD Iron bank / repo1 has non CAC modes behind an auth provider. They have forced 2FA on from what I can see now though
