Redish Lab<p>A couple of questions for <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/unix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>unix</span></a> gurus. </p><p>With the Windows 10 EOL crisis, we are likely going to be switching most of our lab computers over to unix. We have been testing <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ubuntu</span></a> 24.04 LTS. It seems to meet most of our requirements nicely, but I have two needs I have not solved yet:</p><p>1. I am looking for some sort of <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/SSO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SSO</span></a> system where I can control all of the logins and group permissions centrally for the lab. I don't want people to have to maintain passwords across two dozen computers. I do not need the whole complexity of centralized group policies and the like. I just need SSO.</p><p>2. I am looking for a reliable <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/AntiVirus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AntiVirus</span></a> system. I know that people say unix doesn't need it, but I just don't believe that.</p><p>Important keys are (1) most of my personnel are not computer-savvy unix-gurus, and (2) I do not have the time to be a full-time sysadmin for two dozen computers, so the "we can hack this together with enough effort" solutions that I used when I was a (unix-savvy) graduate student myself is not acceptable here. I need a more business-friendly system.</p><p>Cost matters, but I'm willing to pay for the right thing. So am interested in both freeware and paid solutions.</p><p>thanks for any suggestions.</p><p>PS. PLEASE do not respond to this with a rants about freeware vs corporate, or the qualities of unix vs Windows. Those are debates for another time and another place. thx</p>

Went to our first concert of "classical" #music since February 2020. In Benaroya Hall in #Seattle, Ludovic #Morlot conducted a few pieces by #Ravel and premiered a beautiful new composition by Allison Loggins-Hall, "Rhapsody on a Theme by Joni for Solo Flute and Orchestra." Demarre McGill did a fabulous job in the solo part. In the picture, Morlot is standing away from the podium, directing audience applause away from himself and toward the percussionists. #SSO #SeattleSymphony #classicalmusic

Inzwischen hatte ich übrigens Zeit, mit dem Keycloak Auditor kcwarden von @hacksilon und seinem Kollegen herumzuspielen. Ein super Tool, um zu prüfen, wo man die oft sehr laxen Standardeinstellungen nachjustieren sollte!

True story,
- Log into browser with IdP
- Get logged out of IdP
- Log back into IdP
- Click something in the browser's popover and now your browser has a passkey to the IdP
- Get logged out of browser and IdP
- Get locked out because you need to log into the browser to log into the IdP to log into the browser to log into the IdP to...

How can this failure mode exist?

Where do we even start to communicate this to users in a good way?

I love #PocketID, a light weight #selfhosted #OIDC using only #Passkey.

After using it for several months with an LXC installation using Proxmox Helper Scripts, I noticed that the service runs as root. I also learned that a VM installation is more secure than an LXC. This article will guide you through installing Pocket-ID as a non-root service on Debian. Additionally, there's an upgrade script included.

Après avoir utilisé #PocketID pendant plusieurs mois avec une installation LXC via les Proxmox Helper Scripts, j'ai remarqué que le service s'exécute en tant que root. J'ai également appris qu'une VM est plus sécurisée qu'un LXC. Cet article vous guidera dans l'installation de PocketID en tant que service non root sur Debian. De plus, un script de mise à niveau est inclus.

Es ist zum Haare raufen. Vor kurzem wurde TikTok u.a. deswegen verknackt, weil sie auf Servern auf hosten, auf die sie von China aus Zugriff haben; Weil das Datenschutzniveau nicht dem der EU entspricht und das auch nicht vertraglich ("Standardvertragsklauseln") auf sichere Beine gestellt werden kann.
Nun habe ich das wieder zum Anlass genommen meine Vorgesetzten darauf hinzuweisen, dass es vielleicht bei der Situation zw. #EU und den #USA keine gute Idee ist mit unserem #SSO und #IAM (für uns und Kunden) auf #AWS #Cloud zu setzen und wir doch vielleicht wenigstens z.b. bei #Hetzner einen Backupplan entwickeln sollten.
Man hofft, dass schon alles gut gehen wird und setzt, weil die Unternehmensgruppe drauf setzt und man viel investiert hat, weiter auschließlich auf AWS.
