Or join your machine to a domain. No ads, managed updates.

I have said it before, but around half of the machines in my estate are macs, and I have many more reported update problems from them. I think a lot of it is caused by inconsistent updates.

How many people are running their own AD setups? I don't think this is very useful advice.

To be fair, Samba4 setups are super easy, so for the HN crowd it probably isn't terrible advice.

I've been running one at home since the first TP in 2006, and I don't spend any time thinking about or maintaining them (running on Debian)
