Damn, I hadn’t heard much about this either, but it does seem like a full replacement for Windows server with AD. I’ll for sure be checking it out, thanks!

Depends on what you’re looking for? Common logins? A way of mass applying configurations and policies or to multiple computers? Way of doing centralized shared file stores?

I’m actually kind of looking for all of this. Everything there is currently Windows, but it’s kind of hard to upgrade everything without paying money haha. I was wondering if I could do a version of Linux because as a non-profit we have a free google workspace account. It would be nice to move away from the Windows teat(especially because we have a free productivity suite in Google Docs), but that might be a hard battle to win.

Ho shit! I never actually heard of this before, but I’m interested now. I’ve been using Fedora on my personal laptop…and have been wanting to switch to Linux on my gaming PC. I haven’t made the leap yet though as I’m not 100% comfortable being without Windows. I know dual booting is a things but I haven’t done that in a decade and would rather just have one OS on my Pc. Thanks a lot for your response!

Thanks for the response! Can Samba handle things like group policy as well?

Right, so the church itself has no idea what they want/need. I’m basically doing all this set up for free, just so I can say I’ve done it. What I was really hoping for was authentication, but also group policy management and file share. Thanks for the response!

Ya, this comment is way too far down. All 365 apps with within the browser. Problem solved.

Plus one for Dell. I get some 4 year old decommissioned dells from my company and a 5300 is now my daily driver

But not everyone needs to have a work phone, some just need to authenticate

I work for a global company and help manage MFA for everyone…I use Google’s authenticator on my personal phone as they didn’t give me a work phone.

I still don’t understand why a hardware token isn’t being used. It’s such a low cost option when compared to buying a phone and plan for a user.

I work in IT and my 4 year old retired Dell 5300 is working just fine. Great form factor as well.

I just gotta say, none of these let me down

I’m sorry, I genuinely don’t understand the question of, is it right to give a worse education. Are you saying that homeschool is worse? Sorry not trying to deter from the topic, but I might just not be reading it right.

I will say this in response though, I don’t agree that everyone should be given a completely equal opportunity. What I do think is that everyone should be given a very superior baseline of opportunity.

Chasing completely equal opportunity seen like a fools errand. But we really should be putting education and health first, unfortunately we just don’t.

Actually, education and health are the 2 things I think the government should take care of in a serious way. That said, I still Believe people should be able to pay for alternative education or health care if they wish, I just think I should never see a bill for either of those two ever. Especially for children. Wtf are we doing if we as a society cannot afford for children to be healthy or educated?

Thanks for the response! I’ll have to look up some software for automatic backups.

So what’s the best way to back up a single drive?

Man, I taught English for 6 years… It was year 6 when I found out there were teacher guides.

I had spent the whole time actually making curriculum. No wonder I burned out

Damn, did you also have that stupid video where the teacher is trying to explain the joke of one dude trying to say embarrassed but instead says pregnant all while I’m just trying to not fail the class?

That’s actually my thought, though even if it was a mistake, it had to go through multiple people before the 22oz cup made it into this guys hand. I hope he wins

Here’s a good one. On the surface, it’s not that strange… Until you think you’re having a stroke because none of the words make sense. It’s all gibberish

Yes, let’s undermine the current system by deplatforming those we don’t like.

A better option is to have a strong moderator who is able to turn off microphones when candidates go off the question. Make Trump look like an idiot when he only gets a few seconds to speak because he can’t put meaningful words together… But Biden would probably have a similar issue.

Or maybe we could get some candidates who are below life expectancy? That might interest people.
