I've been using PyInfra for a while, albeit just for simple automation (Updating systems, checking certain stats) and I'm a big fan. Compared to Ansible, I found the docs, syntax a…

I can understand that viewpoint. Ultimately though, audience/growth is not a core success metric for me, and the values/points explained in the blog post are more important. Plus t…

I've been sustaining myself for a couple of years now on my open source project (BookStack). Still going in a positive direction. Other than that, some that come to mind: Proxmox, …
