But can't relock the bootloader on a Pixel 9 since it is "community supported" :(

The FreeIPA documentation could be made a bit clearer, so many "obsolete" pages showing in search.

To my question, does anyone know if FreeIPA now supports integration with Samba including password auth for non domain members? Or is it still limited to Kerberos?

It does, now running. Glad to be able to replace my Samba4 setup since we're now mostly Mac/Linux only.

Jumpcloud is SaaS.

Yes, but it's not Microsoft Active Directory or Entra, which was my point.

Cough cough, Nationwide UK. I emailed them, they said they had no plans to make the Nationwide UK app available globally on the iOS App Store.

File a complaint to the financial services. They are locking you out from their services.

Moved from the UK to Germany. My German card reader is even better, no manually entering the transaction details, I just scan a QR code from my laptop, and the card reader display shows the IBAN and amounts, before I confirm to get the code.

For me, linking the phone number was optional, I had to choose either phone and/or email.

Did you miss the whole part where op talks about using your physical card as an alternative?

who's paying for the card reader at home?

My bank is. It is part of their service. Obviously I pay a service charge, but the card reader is not charged separately. The card reader serves a purpose for the bank as well, because it acts as a back-up for when people lose their smartphone (by stupidity or theft), or when their app is having issues.

My Volksbank app here in Germany just wants a locked boatloads and no root. Works fine with microg. It's the reason I will never move!

Though the Sparkasse is the same actually, unsure about the other german banks

This is great news if it’s true, these regulations are so hazy it’s maddening. Even tho I’m being downvoted I am actually on the side of removing these barriers I was just sharing what I was made to understand by my bank. shrug

> This would still rely on Visa/MasterCard allowing dual-branded credit cards for overseas transactions, which isn't a very common arrangement

False? Co-badged cards are used in Germany, were used in NL, are used in NZ/AUS, many more examples than just "Asia".

We have dual-branded debit cards in Canada, too. But these are all debit cards, not credit cards. Visa/MC makes way more money off credit cards than debit cards, which is why they're much more hesitant to allow dual-branding.

When is your book coming out? (I'd love to read it)

Life got in the way (marriage, kids, covid, publisher backed out, etc.) But 2026 is my year, stay tuned.
