Do you have an LDAP server setup?
Yes, OpenLDAP installed from this ansible role
-
Logrotate appreciation
It's dead easy to use TCP/SSL instead of UDP to forward logs. Example rsyslog config
-
Simple way to centralize my server logs?
I use rsyslog for that since it's the default in Debian. Configuring forwarding is very simple, a single file in /etc/rsyslog.d/forwarding.conf [1]. Note that this setup uses TLS to encrypt messages so you need to create the relevant certificates (I use self-signed certs). Unencrypted TCP or UDP is simpler, but less secure.
- YUnoHost alternative?
-
Beginner's Guide to Open LDAP?
This ansible role (check the tasks/ directory) gives a good breakdown of what is needed to setup a basic LDAP server and authentication service
-
Samba shares without managing a DC
I use samba in standalone mode with or without LDAP auth https://github.com/nodiscc/xsrv/tree/master/roles/samba
-
SSO for all the services?
It's not "hard" but understanding the concepts (DIT, common name, distinguished name...) helps. Check https://github.com/nodiscc/xsrv/tree/master/roles/openldap the tasks at https://github.com/nodiscc/xsrv/blob/master/roles/openldap/tasks/openldap.yml and https://github.com/nodiscc/xsrv/blob/master/roles/openldap/tasks/populate.yml should give you a breakdown of what needs to be done to get a minimal LDAP server running

Practical exercises to learn ansible : how to install a monitoring stack ? 1 - node exporter
Example role that does this (single-node rocketchat deployment)
-
Beginner confused about DNS stuff
Also is a Raspberry Pi 4 4GB powerful enough to host xsrv?
-
xsrv — Install and manage self-hosted services/applications, on your own server(s)
open the playbook with xsrv edit-playbook (example playbook), uncomment the nodiscc.xsrv.nextcloud role

Website Impersonating a Desktop Environment
Sandstorm really had this kind of feeling. Not that it presented as a desktop environment visually - but it offered a much more integrated “computer” of documents versus silod web site apps where you need to open each site to see the files in the app. https://sandstorm.io/

Ask HN: Experience using your user's Google Drive instead of a database?
RemoteStorage https://remotestorage.io/ seems to be trying to do this too
I also really like the https://sandstorm.io approach which goes a little farther beyond

Tech Independence
They tried, it was called sandstorm https://sandstorm.io/

Ask HN: WordPress vs. Django/Flask?
I did read from somewhere, that with Wordpress SEO plugins etc some website got to top of search results.
Those that did website with other tech did not get same results, and thinked how to compete or survive.
For security, I use Sandstorm https://sandstorm.io fork of WordPress that generates static websites. But that does not work with some interactive plugins.

Plunder and Urbit
Urbit made the choice to use a bunch of silly new words for familiar concepts, not because they were inventing something so new that there were no words to describe it, but because they wanted to fool people into thinking that's what they were doing. Actually they just spent 10 years trying to do https://sandstorm.io/, but made it 10 times harder than it needed to be by coming up with a wacky new set of programming languages with silly names for everything.
That's funny, and it is OK to make fun of it.

Cap'n Proto 1.0
I don't work at Cloudflare but follow their work and occasionally work on performance sensitive projects.
If I had to guess, they looked at the landscape a bit like I do and regarded Cap'n Proto, flatbuffers, SBE, etc. as being in one category apart from other data formats like Avro, protobuf, and the like.
So once you're committed to record'ish shaped (rather than columnar like Parquet) data that has an upfront parse time of zero (nominally, there could be marshalling if you transmogrify the field values on read), the list gets pretty short.
https://capnproto.org/news/2014-06-17-capnproto-flatbuffers-... goes into some of the trade-offs here.
Cap'n Proto was originally made for https://sandstorm.io/. That work (which Kenton has presumably done at Cloudflare since he's been employed there) eventually turned into Cloudflare workers.
Another consideration: https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/issues/2#issuecomment-...
