Show HN: A new provisioning tool built with mgmt
This is a new provisioning tool built with https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ that I hope both provides great value and also demonstrates the start of a new way to build certain kinds of software.
Thanks for reading!

The Cell Programming Language
I've looked briefly into this project before. Some ideas are similar to what I'm doing in https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ but the really weird thing is that I have no idea who's behind this language. A person? A company? A small group? Are they anonymous for some reason or am I oblivious?

Show HN: Workflow Orchestrator in Golang
I don't generally believe in orchestrators (they miss the point, things are not single computers and neither is the world) and so I have that feedback here but also for:
> Airflow/Cadence/Temporal/Databuilderframework?
Which don't really think about modelling non-centralized things.
This of course doesn't mean they're not useful, it's just that they don't have what I believe is a good long-term value proposition.
I'm incredibly biased because I'm working on programmatic, real-time modelling of distributed systems with https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/

The Claro Programming Language
The DAG concurrency stuff feels familiar to what I've been doing with our language, mcl. https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/
Our goal is NOT a general-purpose turing-complete language like this one is, but we do some amazing lock-free, DAG concurrency things to achieve the processing wins.

HashiCorp Adopts Business Source License
I don't think it's good news, but why is anyone surprised? Nobody wants to pay for open source.
Companies want it for free, and individuals don't have enough luxury time to be able to do it themselves.
Prove me wrong and help patch or fund https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ and you'll have an even better replacement for terraform!

I want to contribute to open-source software written in Go
Individual here, not a company. We'd love contributors to https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/

On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest the killing of 3rd Party Apps! All FOSS apps are 3rd Party Apps. Will /r/linux join the strike?
Eventually decided puppet wasn't a good enough tool to be able to autonomously deploy and continuously manage such clusters. So I started working on this https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ project. Not quite MVP yet, but trying to get there soon. Got distracted along the way with having to work real jobs (Red Hat, Amazon) to pay bills.

Interactive animations
Yeah, that project is pretty much at the bottom of my list, unfortunately. My top projects these days are mgmt, klister, recursion-schemes, and hint... And that's already too much!

Benchmarking ansible-core 2.11 vs 2.14 and python 3.9 vs 3.11 along with ara's database backends
There are certainly faster alternatives out there (mgmt comes to mind) but then, they're not Ansible.

GNU Stow is a very useful Perl program but it has some minor issues that need to be fixed
I use GNU Stow to symlink many shell and configuration files from a repository. It works so well and there are many webpages out there from people telling you how it's the best way to manage dotfiles.

Using GNU Stow to manage your dotfiles (2012)
Too bad that's broken for directory names: https://github.com/aspiers/stow/issues/33
