Pyinfra: Automate Infrastructure Using Python
I just started using Pyinfra to wrangle a bunch of servers and it is a breath of fresh air compared to Ansible. I moved all of my server OS installs to Fedora CoreOS which doesn't ship with Python in the OS and since Pyinfra doesn't need Python on the host node I can kick off tasks in bulk to do server things. It is great. I cannot wait to see where the Pyinfra project goes.
On a side note, one of the most hacky things I came up with to get Ansible working on Fedora CoreOS was to bind mount a container rootfs that had python 3 and then symlink it into the right spots. You can of course add Python in with rpm-ostree if you want but I wanted to avoid layering packages at the time. I wasn't proud of it. But it worked.

Deploying Forem on Render.com PromptZone.com
This is not the suggested way of deployment by the forem team, nevertheless I found it easier and smother than using the deployment selfhost, however I think it's good to know different approaches and use the one suits you the most, if you don't have time to manage a server I think using a pass like Render does the job, and it's cheaper then Heroku at the time of this post.

Open Source Repositories
Forem Self-Host. You should probably know Forem. But in case you don't, just know that DEV is hosted on it.

Docker is dead? Podman β an alternative tool?
I only use Podman for my workloads these days. Docker was always a headache for me on Linux. Podman allows me to quickly do whatever I want with containers and I can use systemd or a simple bash script to easily create services on my workstation or in production with Nomad with https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad-driver-podman
I am super thankful for the team of developers that work on Podman. It has really come a long way since 2.0 and they are very responsive to issues in my experiences. If you are using Linux as your daily driver and you use Containers give Podman a try. Here are some examples of the things I have done with Podman.

Encourage Community with a Good ReadMe
To automatically generate a TOC, you can use an online tool like the GitHub Wiki TOC generator. I used this tool to create the TOC in Foremβs Selfhost project when I was a developer advocate there.

Forem AWS user access is too high
Hi, everyone; I just tried the tutorial for deploying a self-hosted instance of forem (https://github.com/forem/selfhost) on AWS. A step in the tutorial asks for the creation of an AWS user with Programmatic access called forem-selfhost with the following

Ask HN: Forum Software Similar to Reddit?
I have not tried this one, but Postmill [1] is similar to HN and phpBB [2] is an off the shelf forum platform with incredible moderator capabilities but I think an add-on is required for voting.

We need to switch to FOSS alternatives like Mastodon and Lemmy.
It doesn't support ActivityPub indeed. Somebody else has to put in that support in Postmill (the link aggregator software powering Raddle), and the developer herself is not interested in implementing that support herself.

It does! The source code seems like gnu-esque licence.

Using AI to make MY OWN Reddit?
Postmill is sort of an old.reddit clone you may be able to bend to do your bidding.

Discussion Thread
I was on a reddit clone for a while for a banned subreddit for my favourite comedy podcast (to remain nameless, but after a while it got racist and I had to leave). They used https://gitlab.com/postmill/Postmill and it worked fine. It's open source so they could modify it a bit (saving posts, bots etc). The main issue was that over time fewer and fewer people came to the site, leaving only the most extreme and toxic people.. The nice thing about reddit is that it provides a fairly constant inflow of people.
