Thanks for the post, super appreciate the posting of other communties. I think this is a great way to grow Lemmy and create discoverability for niche communities, I’ll keep that in mind myself on future opportunities.

They use plaid as the integrator, if you look it up on the plaid website you should be able to check for support for whichever bank or coop.

If plaid supports it ynab does

Lmao at RAM chips and CPU cola

The attack vectors I’m thinking of just come from the inherent complexity and centralization. I’m just considering the amount of damage that can be done with a compromised DA account for example vs a non directory environment.

It’s complicated. Done right it can be more secure, not done right it’s less secure.

I also only get brought in for problems for the last however many years, so I’m probaby a bit biased at this point haha.

I have had to tell companies they are going to have to rebuild thier AD from scratch because they didn’t know what thier DSRM password was (usually after a ransomware attack). These are the sort of hassles I think about vs non AD.

You could look at freeIPA or something similar to stay on Linux.

I’m an AD specialist, starting when it came out with server 2000, and can tell you it’s a waste of time for a home network unless you are doing this just because you want to learn it.

It will definitly not make your life any easier, and will increase attack vectors, especially if you don’t know how to secure and protect it.

Hopefully all the different clients will soon support good blocking. With connect for android I can block instances and keywords, but I most just continually block on a community basis what I don’t want to see from All. I’m sure there are hundreds in there. This keeps it quite relevant for me but I’m still in the flow of seeing new subs. I do subscribe to all the ones I really like.

So it’s a curation process, but a more active one vs trying to hunt subs down like I used to do with Reddit.

Probably the delusion that any windows admin can manage it if it has a graphical UI.

I’ve run into this several times
