• German state ditches Microsoft for Linux and LibreOffice

  Your admin uses cfengine for example https://cfengine.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Replacement for Chef?

  Another oldie but goodie is cfengine: https://cfengine.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

• What does everyone use for automating setting up a new VPS?

  I'm using rudder (https://www.rudder.io/), it's based on cfengine (https://cfengine.com/). But this is more enterprise ready, you'll be fine with lightweight ansible. Nice thing is, that rudder ensures compliance by periodically executing all defined rules on all endpoints. Source: over 2 years ago

• Understanding Infrastructure as Code (IaC) in less than 10 minutes

  CFEngine Ansible Chef Puppet Saltstack. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago

• Immutability & loose coupling: a match made in heaven

  Automating mutable systems is often referred to as Configuration Management, and leverages tools such as Cfengine, Puppet, Chef, or Ansible. This tooling uses principles based on the concepts of target state, idempotence, and somewhat related to Mark Burgess’ Promise Theory.

• Want to Get Better at Java? Go Old School.

  Didn't know that people still use Ant for building their source code. Source: almost 2 years ago

  OP is just running this https://ant.apache.org/, nothing to worry about. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Better CI/CD caching with new-gen build systems

  A build system is a program that orchestrates the execution of underlying tools such as compilers, code generators, test runners, linters and so on. Examples of build systems include the venerable Make, the JVM-centric Ant, Maven and Gradle, and newer systems such as Pants and Bazel (full disclosure: I am one of the maintainers of Pants). - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Build error when running 'nix build', running build steps by hand with 'nix develop' works

  You are missing a dependency: antlr. You have ant instead, which is something completely different. Source: almost 2 years ago
