I run a local DNS server that has its own blocklists, internal DNS records, etc. I imagine most people who might bother to deploy an enterprise browser policy do something similar.

I prefer to let uBlock handle all the blocking. Also I run my own DNS server where I have my own blocklists and internal records etc.

I think most people use an enterprise MDM like JAMF or Intune, but manually creating the file at /Library/Managed Preferences/com.google.Chrome.plist might also work.

You can just ignore it. Nothing changes as a result of being "informed."

The phenomenon of 1.2 children per family living a living a childhood of endless leisure until being thrust into the world of adult responsibility at age 18 was totally unknown to humanity until about 5 minutes ago. Sometimes a kid has to w

Maybe counterintuitive, but I've found that having more kids actually makes some things easier. With 4+ children, the kids almost never come to us for entertainment. They form their own little society and find tons of ways to play and

I have five children and find this very difficult to believe. Even the "worst" of it (age 0-3 months) was never anything close to that bad.

You are correct, sssd has a ton of features (like basically replicating the entire domain locally and caching passwords so you can roam away from your corp network). If you need those things, you need sssd.

PowerDNS is an open-source DNS server that lets you store your DNS configuration in a variety of different backends, one of which is LDAP. For each of my "domain controllers, I run: OpenLDAP, an MIT Kerberos KDC, and a PowerDNS server.

Nice. I run a very similar setup, but opted for a stack of OpenLDAP / MIT Kerberos / PowerDNS on my "domain controllers." OpenLDAP does multimaster replication and is the backend for DNS records and the Kerberos database

I highly recommend this approach. I run ~all of my digital footprint on FreeBSD jails. After surveying how many jail managers have come and go in the last decade, I decided to just roll my own using a single shell script called jailctl [0].

I've run my own mail for 10 years (postfix/dovecot/rspamd), no issues. Reverse DNS, SPF, and DKIM records need to be in place, but that's a small lift. Well, one time I was unable to send mail to a guy with an ancient @a

Still running everything from my basement using FreeBSD jails and shell scripts. Sacrificing some convenience? Probably. But POSIX shell and coreutils is the last truly stable interface. After ~12 years of doing this I got sick of tool chur

The FreeBSD handbook claims that KDE works with Wayland but I have never gotten it to work. X11 still works flawlessly.

For my entire life, the networking nerds have been shaming us for not using IPv6. Back when I had a NeoPet in middle school, IPv6 was was "just around the corner." I'm now raising my own children and still listening to the
