Thanks for the mention! (Authentik Security CEO here.) We've become something of Okta migration experts at this point... Cloudflare moved to us a couple years back after they had to be the ones to let Okta know it'd been breached yet again. [1]

Not sure if this counts fully as 'distributed' here, but we (Authentik Security) help many companies self-host authentik multi-region or in (private cloud + on-prem) to allow for quick IAM failover and more reliability than IAMaaS.

There's also "identity orchestration" tools like Strata that let you use multiple IdPs in multiple clouds, but then your new weakest link is the orchestration platform.

Authentik Security | Senior Engineer | US | REMOTE (anywhere) | Full-time

We are a small remote team, looking to scale up with experienced software engineers, primarily with a backend focus. Bonus points if you have significant experience with identity/SSO standards and/or Django/Python.

There is also the opportunity to be "forward deployed" spending 20%+ of time with enterprise customers (remotely) on configuration best practices and rollout strategies, _if_ that is of interest to the right candidate.

A PBC is just a for-profit company that has _some_ sort of specific mandate to benefit the "public good" - however it chooses to define that. It's generally meant to provide some balance toward societal good over the more common, strictly shareholder profit-maximizing alternative.

(IANAL but run a PBC that uses this charter[1] and have written about it here[2] as part of our biennial reporting process.)

This is exactly our thinking with authentik (open source IdP), and it's played out in practice so far. Enterprise sales conversations are so much easier when they start with "we all use you in our homelabs already." We're much more focused on giving those individual users a positive early experience (in hopes that some small percentage will really pay off down the road) than in extracting a few dollars from each of them.

I patched together a rough lookalike using quote data from https://gitlab.com/dwrodri/bash_irc_quotes and the archived pages. It's hosted on GitHub pages, using some simple JS since the entire database is 6MB.

All of the code and data, such as it is, is available at https://github.com/everythingishacked/newbash.org

Thanks, flanbiscuit! I hope so too. We might have to professionalize this one, but I've managed to build a company on a meme before :)

Banana For Scale | US | REMOTE (anywhere) | Founding Engineer

Seeking a developer with Three.js/WebGL experience to help build a new project from the ground up. Bonus points if you have played around with Gaussian splatting or other radiance field techniques, have experience in C/C++ or computer vision.

Banana For Scale (working title) allows anyone to record any space, then edit it in 3D. Think Matterport + Polycam for interactive space design.

I am currently looking for my first hire, initially as a paid contractor so that we can both test out working together. Ideally this would move to a much larger full-time role as part of the founding team. You don't have to be experienced or interested in management, but you should be comfortable with self-directed work.

I previously founded Hunter2 (YC18), scaled to $1M ARR in < 2 years with a team of three before acquisition. I would like to stay deeply involved in the tech development for this project, but someone with the right experience and 100% focus on coding could speed up our efforts 20x.
