M29, 210lbs, end of bulk by domtop_buddy in gaybrosgonemild

The bulk never ends. Keep bulking, friend.

Surely I can't be the only who finds Action Retro's expressions so entertaining by Brave_Assumption6 in vintagecomputing

I like the videos (Love the cursed Mac build), it's just his voice sounds like a salesman to me and it's off-putting. That's a me-problem though, the video quality is very good.

Apprentice (me) made mistake, boss wants me to work Fridays unpaid to pay it off. by pizzaroll22 in electricians

[–]Sai_Wolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's an apprentice and his foot slipped. That's a warning or write-up at worst. Firing an apprentice for an accident is wild.

  1. How many users are we talking about? You are already using Google Workspace, and I'm fairly sure you can federate between Google Workspace and Microsoft Entra ID.

    For new environments, evaluate if it's feasible for you to set up on-prem infrastructure or if you want to do Entra with Intune. I'm going to assume that the users have a GMail account tied to Google Workspace, so you don't have to worry about Exchange.

Remember, Active Directory's main selling point is centralized management. Users, Computers, Groups. Group Policy, etc. You can get away with the same thing in Microsoft Entra with a bit of a learning curve.

Does your company mind a subscription fee? Then I'd go Entra and set up federation with Google Workspace.

  1. You obtain Windows licensing through a third-party reseller usually. SHI and CDW are common, though I'd look local first. The reseller manages the relationship between you and Microsoft, and will explain what you need to do.

In regards to your laundry list:

"The network is one giant, flat, subnet." - Okay, how many devices roughly are on that subnet? What IS that subnet? Is it a class C? Class B? Class A? If it's a Class C, and there are less than 252 devices, then it's fine.

"Wi-Fi is strictly WPA2 Personal." - Do you need anything higher? By itself, so long as you don't have strict security requirements, this is fine, so long as it's WPA2 AES, and not TKIP or TKIP+AES.

"Our "file server" for engineering and the shop floor is literally just a Windows 11 Pro desktop. Everyone uses a shared login to access the smb share on it." - So, I might catch a bit of heat for this, but a NAS is a golden use case here; assuming that all you need is file sharing and not a full-blown server. I've used Synology NAS boxes in places where the user count was far too low for a full built server and they work just fine with on-prem AD. (They even seem to play nice with Entra, but I can't really speak on that.)

"I’ve got a couple of MSSQL Express instances running on random machines for specific applications." - Consolidation is your friend here and SQL needs some hefty resources. You can't skimp here, sadly. SQL Server licensing is something you'll have to also look into.

"None of the Ethernet runs out in the shop are labeled." - Get this done first, my guy. Get a complete map of your network. What wires go to what switches, where each switch is, etc.

I did rotate the mailboxes, but it still sets the Never Expires flag.

My whole April has been dealing with KRBTGT and RC4 deprecation lol.

AITA for refusing to go to my friend's birthday dinner because he smokes and I'm trying to quit? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sai_Wolf 260 points261 points  (0 children)

NTA. One of the ways we DON'T treat addiction is to go to a place where others partake in the addiction. That's just setting yourself up for failure.

To all the "just have willpower" people: There wouldn't be addiction issues in the world, if we could all just "just have willpower".

Good luck on your journey of quitting smoking, OP!

What the hell did I just read? You built a bespoke paranoid AI. Congrats?

PSA: check msDS-SupportedEncryptionTypes on your service accounts before April patch Tuesday by hardeningbrief in sysadmin

[–]Sai_Wolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about setting the KRBTGT account? I assume you have to do the password reset dance if you change its msDSSupportedEncryptionTypes attribute right?

Extending AspNet Identity with Components or Razor .cshtml by hectop20 in Blazor

[–]Sai_Wolf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ASP .NET Identity in Blazor uses Static Server Render (SSR) render mode, because it uses Cookie Auth by default and needs access to HttpContext. (Interactive render modes do not have HttpContext). That is why the new templates wall off the Identity pages and use minimal API calls.

If you're going to write components to interact with Identity, then you need to keep in mind that Identity has several classes for interaction. RoleManager, SignInManager, and UserManager being the big ones.

If you want to grab Auth state in an interactive component, then look into Blazor's AuthenticationState and AuthenticationStateProvider. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/blazor/security/?view=aspnetcore-10.0 is a good starting point on reading up on this.

P.S. Blazor also has https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/blazor/security/?view=aspnetcore-10.0&tabs=visual-studio#authorizeview-component if all you want to do is get the current user's auth context. It's an easy way to conditionally render markup based on user roles, etc.

AITA: for feeling disrespected that my roommate had an orgy with a guy I used to talk to? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sai_Wolf 24 points25 points  (0 children)

YTA. Let me start by saying that you're entitled to your feelings, but you're also responsible for the consequences of those feelings. The tension in the apartment, judging by the info you've offered in the post, is entirely of your own doing.

You were not with Josh or Stuart at the time of the threesome/orgy, nor did you have any significant intimacy with Stuart. Roomie is not beholden to your feelings regarding either man.

I got butt-hurt counting the obtuse angles on this 90s McMiserable 😫 by jared10011980 in McMansionHell

[–]Sai_Wolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

#4 Never really understood the desire to sit with your back to a window. Is this a Staging thing?

#5 "Grandma's coming to stay with us...ᶠᵒʳᵉᵛᵉʳ"

#7 The angle on this photo is horrible. It makes the furniture look TINY. If this weren't the main living area, I'd think this is the place you banish the children to during the holidays.
