ohmyzsh
🙃 A delightful community-driven (with 2,400+ contributors) framework for managing your zsh configuration. Includes 300+ optional plugins (rails, git, macOS, hub, docker, homebrew, node, php, python, etc), 140+ themes to spice up your morning, and an auto-update tool that makes it easy to keep up with the latest updates from the community.
To start this re-learning journey, I feel like I should start with setting up a VPC on my AWS account. I already have an account so I will not be writing about that. However, since I want to do all of this via IaC, I need to setup Terraform. Luckily for me, this is a new laptop so I have nothing setup on it, besides iTerm2. Btw, I am using https://ohmyz.sh/ for my shell, so shout out to that team. This is what it looks like right now.

self-hosted
Sentry, feature-complete and packaged up for low-volume deployments and proofs-of-concept
I didn't downvote you but as one metric their docker-compose is 500 lines long https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted/blob/25.4.0/docker-... as compared to back in the good-old days when it was basically python, redis, and postgres https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted/blob/9.1.2/docker-c...

Thanks for this.
I used to use ruby a lot - mostly just because it's the nicest language for scripting things on unix. I can remember trying to get it set up a year or so ago and finding the process difficult (think I was using rvm).
https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/wiki#suggested-build-env...
probably good idea to point people here before they install ruby, since it'll compile for minutes then tell you it's missing a dependency, and you have to start the whole process over.
