Fot those who doesnt know, Samba is Linux’s implementation of the SMB Protocol, which lets you network share with password protection. This allows easy file transfers between Linux and Windows computers on the same network

Thanks, that’s awesome.
It’s great to see Linux projects getting some funding.

It can run as a domain controller in active directory as well (2016 functional level now supported)

Can confirm that it can do this fairly well.
Source: the time I grabbed a machine we were about to toss and made it a secondary domain controller for our site so we could nuke and pave our misbehaving Server 2012 DC.
(That other one was also a secondary DC - we just needed one on-site so we could prevent our T1 connection to another site from being the bottleneck.)
Huh, didn’t even know my country had a sovereign tech fund. Looking more into it … yeah. It gets money from the federal government but it is in no way run or even associated with it. Looks like a GmbH is behind it, which is a for profit company in Germany. It has a volume of 17 million €.
Also its name is literally sovereign tech fund, even in German, I.e. that’s not a translation, that’s its literal name. I wouldn’t say it’s sketchy, the people behind it definitely look legit, but it certainly doesn’t quite meet the lofty associations the name suggests.

SPRIND GmbH is also known as „Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen“ and owned by the Federal Republic of Germany. See de.wikipedia.org/…/Bundesagentur_für_Sprunginnova… and www.sprind.org
I didn’t spot that, thank you.
