It’s really discouraging to see such a negative sentiment to the the namesake of this website here.
Hacking around at systems you’re interested in is hardly a waste of time, it’s through projects driven by self interest that we learn the most imo.

#4This looks great. I hate Linux desktop and Windows server, so WSL has been a blessing for me.

#5This is pretty sweet. I feel like the only thing is that Windows Hello, and other fingerprint/face scanning tech is pretty slow compared to typing in a password, so doubt i'll be using it anytime soon. This is still very interesting from a technical pov.
I know nothing of PAM, but could it be used with something like LDAP? or ActiveDirectory?

Have to agree with you. Guess the original meaning of the hacker term has been forgotten/hijacked.

Both face and fingerprint authenticate in under a second on all the machines I use.
If the machine is joined to a domain you'd need to use Hello for Business. It's more involved to set up, but if you've got enough Windows computers to have an AD domain you should definitely do it.

yep! PAM is "Pluggable Authentication Module" which sits between applications and the auth method, so you can put anything there. LDAP and ActiveDirectory are fairly common ones

I used Windows Hello for about a year with a Razer Stargazer (IR Camera) and was always impressed with how quickly it was able to auth me, no matter if I was wearing glasses or not. Less than a second for me too, and that camera does not have the fastest start time, from camera init to capturing from both RGB and IR cameras.
At first I was skeptical about the usefulness of such a feature given my password doesn't take long to type, but it turned it to be a feature I really enjoyed.

Agreed, I learned a lot about sudo just from this README :)
