What's New in Ruby on Rails 8
Still a bunch of stuff that runs on ruby that isn't webdev, https://github.com/theforeman/foreman is a big one I can think of. Ruby's quite nice for sysadmin tasks, puppet, chef etc all in ruby iirc.

Overmind, a better foreman or bin/dev for your Procfile
I was confused because there is https://github.com/ddollar/foreman and https://github.com/theforeman/foreman

Deploying 100+ windows 10 devices per week. Need to automate.
In case you're unable to use intune, a free approach might be https://theforeman.org/ That works well for provisioning baremetal windows (with discovery image or pxe boot) once you've set it up. It supports script access as well as a nice hierarchy for configurations. But it's really not as well documented as it should be.

Stockpiling Linux ISOs?
The iso images are typically locked at a certain verison. The update repositories sounds like what you are looking for to cache updates. Look into theforeman.org and specifically the plugin Katello. This is an upstream for Red Hat's Satellite product. Another option would be Canonical's MAAS. Both of these options Sound like what you are headed for unless you really just mean synchronize into a folder and store the images in which case yeah.....just use rsync.

Also Katello (https://github.com/Katello/katello) which I believe is the upstream of Satellite.

Satellite under dev license?
Satellite is comprised of the Foreman, Katello, Candlepin, Pulp, Hammer, the database, and so on. The closest thing you will come to a Satellite experience is by installing Katello (https://theforeman.org/plugins/katello/).

We're the AlmaLinux OS Foundation Team. AMA!
Sure it can. AlmaLinux support was added to Foreman and Katello projects (which are upstream for Satellite) in May 2021: https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/pull/8498 https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/pull/8562 https://github.com/Katello/katello/pull/9338 I'm not sure if current Satellite version includes this support already but you could contribute to our project by checking this and report back. We will appreciate.
