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.

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 – 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 Forem’s 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: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?
(1) Zulip Chat - https://zulip.com/ - seems to be reasonably popular, but more people should know about it
I’ve been using it for over 5 years now [1], and it’s as good as ever. It’s way faster than any other chat app I’ve used. It has a good UI and conversation model. It has a simple and functional API that lets me curl threads and write blog posts based on them.
(only problem is that I Ctrl-+ in my browser to make the font bigger – I think it’s too dense for most people)
(2) re2c regex to state machine compiler - https://re2c.org
A gem from the 90’s, which people have done a great job maintaining and improving (getting Go and Rust target support in the last few years). I started using it in 2016, and used for a new program a few months ago. I came to the conclusion that it should have been built into C, because C has shitty string processing – and Ken Thompson both invented C AND brought regular languages to computing !!
In comparison, treesitter lexers are very low level, fiddly, and error prone. I recently saw dozens of ad hoc fixes to the tree-sitter-bash lexer, which is unsurprising if you look at the structure of the code (manually crawling through backslashes and braces in C).
https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-bash/blob/master/...
These fixes are definitely appreciated, but I think it indicates a problem with the model itself.

Debate Land Beta 0.2 is out!
A few more truly in the vibe of open source projects not advertising their hosting providers: https://plane.so/ , https://element.io/ , https://www.loomio.com/ , https://zulip.com/ , and it keeps going... Very few open source projects, in the FOSS sense, are advertising their hosting provider.

All Your Licensing Are Belong to Us^W You
I was so excited to see this happen!
I'm not a customer of yours, but your blog posts inspired me a lot. Your journey through quitting caffeine is a great and heartening read.
I've got two things to say;
1) Will you consider source-availabling the web portal (app.keygen.sh) too? Some enterprises could use it for easy management/support for custoner's licenses. Although now that I think about it, it could also discourage custom, more suitable implementations for each use-case... I'm torn on this one. I would like to see it available on GitHub too just out of curiosity too. It's very beautiful.
2) For a team + customers' chat, I cannot recommend Zulip enough. It's a joy to use and has the most innovative chat system I've ever seen. https://zulip.com
I hope your business keeps prospering!
