These are policy-driven snapshot management and replication tools which use OpenZFS for underlying next-gen storage. (Btrfs support plans are shelved unless and until btrfs becomes reliable.)

Ask HN: Why Free Open Source Software?
I maintain two projects that I use daily for both work and personal stuff, that have attracted a modest, but appreciable amount of contributions. In both cases, the codebases are relatively small (500-1k sloc), and laser-focused on doing exactly one thing well.
I'm very grateful for every contribution, no matter how small - people have found bugs, fixed real problems, done cleanups. The hardest part is telling someone that a feature/idea does not have a place in this project. I think the general emphasis on minimalism tends to help here - I've never had to deal with any drama.
In terms of workload, again - the minimalist design and extremely clear goals have helped so much. I got trapped by that once before - I volunteered to build an internal automation tool (that saved someone else from doing like 1h/d of work), but literally couldn't spare 1h/mo to maintain it; the cause of the maintenance burden was an influx of changes in the APIs of the external services it integrated. So now I'm much more careful about volunteering to maintain integrations with external tools; in case of these two projects, the targets are SSH and ZFS - both have extremely stable interfaces.
In both cases it was absolutely worth it to publish and (very lightly) promote the projects; since these are "devops" tools that theoretically have unlimited potential for causing great harm, having any response at all helped reassure me that the code I'm running against production infrastructure has fewer unknown bugs. https://i.pinimg.com/474x/2f/e0/87/2fe08785e8eb112cada6da789...
The projects: <https://github.com/rollcat/judo>; <https://github.com/rollcat/zfs-autosnap>.

Show HN: My Single-File Python Script I Used to Replace Splunk in My Startup
"This simple tool solves X at my org" is probably the most underrated type of project. There's not enough room to overcomplicate something that isn't a core part of the business, it must be practical to maintain, simple&stupid enough so that onboarding is not a hurdle, etc.
I encourage everyone to share your "splunk in 1kloc of Python" projects! Some of my own:
- https://github.com/rollcat/judo is Ansible without Python or YAML
- https://github.com/rollcat/zfs-autosnap manages rolling ZFS snapshots

ZFS for Dummies
A lot of these suggestions are heavily opinionated. Which is not necessarily bad, but they seem to mess with existing conventions just for the sake of it (why {pool}:{dataset}?).
> Don't make me name [...] snapshots.
You might like this little tool I wrote: https://github.com/rollcat/zfs-autosnap
You put "zfs-autosnap snap" in cron hourly (or however often you want a snapshot), and "zfs-autosnap gc" in cron daily, and it takes care of maintaining a rolling history of snapshots, per the retention policy.
It's not hard writing simple ZFS command wrappers, feel free to take my code and make your own tools.
