How big is your install base at work? Still wondering how to replace something like Active Directory, Group Policies and the like for centralized management akin to Windows based networks.

Somebody was banned for posting the GIF of the Nazi Guy getting knocked out (you know the one).
The community is not having it.


New school: Hollow Knight and Silksong
Old school: Super Metroid


My suggestions:
Between those you should be able to squeeze some hours out of it


Your mileage may vary depending on your specs, but: very happy with CachyOS on my DELL Latitude 5590.
Based on Arch, meaning you get constant updates. Many tools and easy installation compared to stock Arch. KDE is similar in it’s ergonomics compared to Windows. Many pre configurable gaming packages, getting stuff up and running is easy.
More „conservative“ and not liking living on the bleeding edge? Debian would be my personal choice. Bazzite is really interesting, but the „insistence“ on BTRFS breaks some gaming things (e.g. was not able to get Battle.net running with BTRFS, with ext4 on CachyOS it works)
No matter what distribution you choose, ProtonDB is your first stop for infos on windows games you want to get running on Linux


It never was planned as a sequel/reboot of Prey by the studio. The publisher insisted on the name in hopes of more revenue from „long time fans“.


And from what I heard on the news for Berlin yesterday it was over 100.000 Pride participants vs. around 400 counter protesters. Of which one organizer was arrested because she violated a weapons ban on one of Berlins public squares.
This does not read „Victory for the shitheads“, on the contrary.


Remember that one, but honestly: not worth much testing a device exclusively in laboratory settings and not in real life situations.
It is a risk but I think not one you can and should avoid. At least if you want your mobile device to perform.


Exactly this. It checks periodically if a newer image for the tag of the container is available (e.g. vaultwarden:latest) and tells you about it. You can setup mail, sms, Teams, you name it.
So then you know a new version is available, can check the changelog and decide if the update is worth it.


Personally having great results with Diun. Same idea (check for newer container image) and works 100% for me.
Don’t know if it can automatically load and restart containers, rather do that personally.
Love the Shorts and pants by Reell
I‘m a cargo pants and shorts guy and can attest them a lifetime of many years. Wearing mine for at least five years now.


SkillUp mentioned it in his Review as well: „They know the soundtrack does not compare, it seems they turned down the base volume so you don’t notice it“
Check auf the New Cargo Short by Reell
Reell is a German/Dutch Company, their Cargo Pants as well as their shorts hold for many years. Price is more than justified for the mileage you get from them. Length of the short should be right where you want it, as I prefer them the same way.
For regular cargo pants check out the Flex Cargo.


Do you have requirements for the WiFi Standard?
Do you want to build up a new system or adding to your current setup?
For the price point you could look into the AVM Fritz Ecosystem. Their Mesh solution is quite hassle free and for 200€ you could get WiFi 5 capable devices on the used market.
Not sure how well they work with other brands, so you might want to invest in a FritzBox and FritzRepeater (should be in the budget used).
Anything above WiFi 5 could be out of your price range, especially new.
Ubiquity APs with WiFi 5 could be in your budget, even new. Look into the AP HD. You will need a controller installation though, weither on your desktop or on a NAS, Server. You do NOT need to buy an appliance from them for management. They do not make it clear on their website.


No, not at all. But it sure as hell will not be labeled „domestic terrorism“.


They have the management aspect of large environments down to a tee. Apart from costs it does not really matter if your domain consists of ten, thousand or more systems. The tools to manage those systems centralized by core systems is the same set for all sizes so to speak.
That can be on one campus, across multiple cities and locations. It’s quite frankly IMO the foundation on which the success of Windows in the corporate world is built. Standardized deployment of settings across all company systems saves administrators time which can be used for other tasks instead of micromanaging clients.
I have yet to see a similar solution for Linux clients that works the same way.


Not really the way if one wants to cut ties with Microsoft completely though. And I suspect most would argue „then you can go the Windows route all the way and have less pain integrating client systems“.


Oh, Ansible is an interesting starting point. Would not thought of it for that purpose, I always „only“ link it mentally to automated deployment.
Will look into it out of curiosity.


How do you manage your fleet? How big is your network?
I‘d love to push for Linux at work, but have yet to see a solution with similar management capabilities than a Windows domain. And I don’t want to manage individual clients, as sysadmin I want to push templates like GPOs and the like.
Can see it work for smaller environments, but not in a company with a couple hundred machines.
That is something you can configure in the settings for the mobile app. To ask for the master password every time is default behavior, but it can also be set to a PIN or biometric instead.
