Linus Torvalds statement
To get your Linux ready to use after a fresh install you might have an Ansible playbook to get the system ready to go with all the tools you need.

Optimal way to backup Macs without Time Machine
Not public. But you can search YouTube for geerlingguy and Ansible Mac. I got the idea from him https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook
- How would you set up your work laptop differently if you had to do it again?
-
A configuration management system for pets, not cattle
This is how I set up my Mac as well; just a local connection. Sets up out of box Mac in about 15 minutes and I can keep my two Mac's configs in perfect sync: https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook

Anyone have a checklist/plan for when they migrate to a new Mac and do a fresh install?
One way I have seen is to use Ansible and a playbook - Jeff Geerling does this here but that's a bit OTT for me.

Getting my first Mac from work. What are some good work related apps to try out?
Jeff Geerling has a Mac Dev PlayBook repo that is pretty close to how I would build my system.

Trying to automate the “Automatically hide and show the menu bar in full screen” setting.
There is, I use this with some of my own customizations https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook

Your favorite automated method for duplicating your setup on a new machine?
If you go down the route of using Ansible, this is a very complete script for Mac OS. Even if you don't use it, you can see how many useful apps can be installed (mac-dev-playbook)[https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook]

Script to setup all dev tools in a local environment
If you go down the route of using Ansible, this is a very complete tool for Mac OS. Even if you don't use it, you can see how many useful apps can be installed mac-dev-playbook And if Ansible if just too much, try this simple way to code, document, and replay bits of your installation scripts with this tool I wrote recently and use to deploy systems daily. markdown_exec

Ask HN: How do you sync your computers development configurations/environment?
I symlink a few files in place via Dropbox, but have most of my local configs in a dot files repo: https://github.com/geerlingguy/dotfiles
Then for more systemwide configuration, I have an Ansible playbook I run every now and then (configures apps, dock item order, etc): https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook

Ask HN: Please recommend how to manage personal serverss
Take a look at Vagrant! https://www.vagrantup.com/ In my admittedly limited understanding I believe it offers closer to a nix like reproducable rather than repeatable deployments.

Software Company HashiCorp Is Weighing a Potential Sale
on the off chance one hasn't been tracking it, there were several "we don't need your stinking BuSL" projects when this drama first started:
https://github.com/opentofu#why-opentofu (Terraform)
https://github.com/openbao/openbao#readme (Vault)
and I know of several attempts at Vagrant <https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/forks> but I don't believe one of them has caught traction yet
There are also some who have talked about an "open Nomad" but since I don't play in that space I can't speak to it

Ask HN: Cleanest way to manage Windows OS?
It sounds like you're using Nix as a sort of configuration management solution. CM just isn't worth it for managing a single desktop IMO. It triples the effort for whenever you need to add or remove a package, as you must now add that also to your nix configuration. You're supposed to be able to make that back up in time saved restoring to the next machine, but inevitably the next machine will be different enough that you'll have to edit it all anyway. In the end I just got tired of trying to manage my own machine with infrastructure as code (though in fairness I was using puppet at the time not nix).
I keep a git repository with all my dot files in it[1]. This seems to work the best. It has a Windows folder as well, and I copy that out whenever I need to set up Windows.
A lot of people like using WSL but I hate how it hogs on my memory. Hyper-V is a terrible virtualization engine for consumer-grade use cases because it can't thin provision RAM. If I need to use docker, I will spin up a small Linux VM using vagrant[3] with Virtualbox[4] and put Docker on there. Vagrant is an extremely underrated tool in my opinion, particularly in a Windows context.
I use scoop for packages. Typically I will scoop install msys2 and then pin it so that it doesn't get blown away by the next upgrade.
Then I basically do all of my development inside of msys2. I can get most things running in there without virtualization. In my case that means sbcl and roswell for common lisp, senpai for irc, and tmux and nvim for sanity. Msys2 uses the pacman package manager and this is good enough.
All In all, I set up my Windows machine affresh after a while of not using it and it took me about 3 hours. Most of that time was just getting through upgrades though, I felt like it was pretty fast.

A Developer's Journal: Simplifying the Twelve-Factor App
Tools like Docker and Vagrant can be used to allow local environments to mimic production environments.
- Is there any place where I can download an already configured Virtual machine? For example with Linux Ubuntu or Windows 10 preinstalled?
