Slowly working my way through building a new Active Directory domain controller. Done. I've created some users and groups, need to find information about organizational units.#

I am using Proxmox for my home lab, but the computer that is hosting it, which is a HP Probook, only has 8 GB of RAM. I am finding that 8 GB is enough when running containers, it is not enough when running VMs as they don't appear to share memory. Not sure whether there is a ballooning issue, I have to research more, but I am thinking I really want a host with at least 16 GB of RAM. #

I think that the only apps that I use that rely on Twitter as an identity provider are Dave's: Drummer, Little Outliner, Radio3, and FeedLand. It's also my experience that once I am logged in to these apps from a browser I stayed logged in unless or until I wipe the browser cache. It looks like Dave is considering replacing Twitter's Oauth for Mastodon should he need to, but only will make the switch if he needs to. I am wondering whether a federated system like Mastodon's is a good solution for identity. My guess is that a single, reliable, provider is a better option. If it were me right now, I think I would be looking at Github as the replacement. Fortunately, I switched my 2FA for Twitter to Authy some time ago.#
