• NPM won't publish packages containing the word keygen

  I run a business called Keygen [^0], and own the @keygen namespace on npm. We’re working on a Node SDK, so this isn’t good to hear. I’ll open up a discussion with them and see what we can do. [^0]: https://keygen.sh. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses?

  I run https://keygen.sh by myself. I built it about 7 years ago and started running it on the side. I went full-time on it in 2020 when it got too big to run on the side. As for trends -- the market is a bit slower these days due to the current economic environment. I've noticed smaller businesses have had a tougher time buying (and staying on), while enterprises have had an uptick. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2023)

  Working on adding “environments” to my business’ API (https://keygen.sh). I’ve gone over 6 years without offering a “sandbox” environment to customers, so I’m excited to finally be working on this one. It’s been quite complex implementatiom-wise, and has touched a lot of surface area, since I want it to support multiple named environments (e.g. staging, dev, one-offs isolated test envs for CI/CD). But it’ll be... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (52/2022)!

  I’m currently developing a commercial product with Rust and I was wondering what the best way to distribute and sell licenses for it is. Should I use a third party like keygen or is there an easy way I could get started on implementing my own. I’m out of my depth when it comes to software licensing so I figure I should ask before assuming it’s a task I can take on myself. Source: over 1 year ago

• Failed to connect to the host via SSH on Ubuntu 22.04

  If you have just upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04, and you suddenly experience either errors when trying to ssh into hosts, or when running ansible or again when running the ansible provisioner building a packer image, this is probably going to be useful for you. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Create a minimalist OS using Docker Containers and Hashicorp Packer

  I am already using Hashicorp Packer at work and for personal projects and I wanted to test This idea out by wrapping it a single Packer Template file. This reduces the level of maintaining a lot of small scripts, Dockerfiles and configurations and the user can simply trigger a couple of Commands to get a minimalist OS at the end of the process. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel. The oligopoly has won.

  And while it is a slight increase in complexity, it can be an overall net gain in functionality, configurability and reliability. Much like Packer is far more reliable and practical than manually making VM images sitting in front of a terminal, even though making the initial configuration takes some time.

• Customized Ubuntu Images using Packer + QEMU + Cloud-Init & UEFI bootloading

  Hashicorp Packer provides a nice wrapper / abstraction over the QEMU in order to boot the image and use it to set it up on first-boot. Instead of writing really long commands in order to boot up the image using QEMU, Packer provided a nice Configuration Template in a more Readable fashion. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• The journey of sharing a wired USB printer over the network

  Packer seemed like the perfect tool for the job. I have never used it before and wanted to get familiar with the tool. It doesn't come with ARM support out of the box, but there are two community projects to fill that niche. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago
