  • That looks like a battery protection PCB, yeah. It usually does three things:

    • over voltage protection
    • undervoltage protection
    • overcurrent protection
    • reverse polarity protection

    Bypassing it would be a bad idea, but it’s also pretty rare they fail. Maybe it’s just in undervoltage protection mode. Try to hook up your variable power supply with 4.2V and a 50-100mA current limit to the battery tabs (check polarity!) and see if the cell takes current. Above 3.6V the battery protection should lift and you should see voltage on the battery output terminals.







  • The only alternative I know of that goes close to what FreeIPA does (minus the cert part) is kanidm. It does:

    • oauth2
    • ssh key distribution
    • RADIUS
    • PAM/SSSD
    • LDAP

    I just noticed they have a beta for multimaster replication, which is nice.

    I use it at home. Note, though, that it does not do any hand-holding, and all configuration is done through CLI. Also note, there are docs for the stable or dev branch and there sometimes are big differences between the two.







  • I also moved away my domains and the ones of the hackerspace I manage, mainly to:

    • infomaniak (Switzerland): a bit too pushy with extra services, but not bad
    • openprovider (NL): more geared towards bulk users, have to prepay (min 20€), but okay so far
    • aruba: meh, but free mailboxes are nice

    I also use Migadu, they have been great so far!

    desec.io for DNS, also great and supported by Traefik for DNS-01 ACME challenge.
