I am the Linux folks.

FreeIPA is fine, and I don’t care much about the GPO aspect of Active Directory. But the standardization-by-ubiquity that made it easy for everyone to just follow along and make it so it Just Works has been a godsend.

Yes Microsoft built on the shoulders of giants but trying to make things work with OpenLDAP or the other also-ran directory services was a nightmare.

keywords like fi and esac

But it’s so clever!

Second best. The best was Active Directory.

Honestly it’s pretty good, but it’s very verbose in its commands and output.

The default settings are irritating but it takes only minor tweaks to make it tolerable (mainly fixing the tab completion)

It’s nicely consistent with its object handling.

As a windows shell it is head and shoulders above cmd.exe. I’ve thought about using it on Linux but there I like fish better.

Linux doesn’t generally use extensions to decide what shell to use, so it doesn’t matter if it’s an sh file or not.

If it uses bash of course you can substitute #!/bin/bash

And of course you can use whatever shell you want, just saying that POSIX-compliance is not really relevant since the script can specify what shell it needs.

#!/bin/sh

Hope this helps

Me trying to get LLM tools to work.

Well there’s your first problem.

I used to, before the Internet went shit. Now it’s all AI spam shit telling you how to do everything you’ve already tried.

Yeah that’s true of Google as well I believe. I think Archive is more careful, but I’m sure some books get damaged in the process there as well.

Digitized for private consumption.

Nobody cares when Google did this or when archive.org does this, because they’re sharing the results with the world. (Idiotic shortsighted lawsuits from the authors guild notwithstanding)

You don’t know very far then.
