Well, yeah, it's like a small win for the open-source gang. So, here's the deal: I've been knee-deep in this project, and then I stumble upon RedHat's decision to ditch OpenLDAP for some half-proprietary Directory Server. Well, being a platform engineer, I had a chat with a RedHat expert about this, and they dropped a bombshell on me – the license for this little gem costs a whopping 10 grand. Yep, that's right, ten thousand pounds for a single license on a single machine.
Naturally, I started drafting this long email to my boss, laying out the options on the table. And you won't believe what happened next – we're like, why the heck are we forking over our hard-earned cash to RedHat? The plan now is to switch to Rocky or Alma Linux, stick with OpenLDAP, and anyone who's got a problem with that can hit the road. It felt a bit like those times when I joined a peace march in Rome – you know it's not the ultimate solution, but at least it's a start.
So, here I am, putting together a to-do list at work, and now I need to tackle the musical side of life. I'm on the hunt for a ukulele tutor to help me get back into the groove. I just need someone skilled to give me that nudge and get me strumming a couple of notes.
