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.

Rancher in 2023
I mean, I get that deprecating products can be annoying. But at the same time, we're talking about a for profit company. There does need to be a level of customer interest to make the maths work. Just because Red Hat doesn't have a productised version doesn't mean you can't use it though. There is always an upstream version of Red Hat products, in the case of CloudForms, that community is ManageIQ: https://www.manageiq.org

FOSS self hosted application catalog
For this things (self-service portal where users can order new kubernetes cluster or vm, reserve IP address, create DNS record...) we using https://www.manageiq.org, but for some cases you need heavy customization so we looking for replacement. Last time when I checked https://backstage.io looks good.
