Love it!
In short, the right people are working on this, they're not out to build a Twitter clone, they're out to reshape the web, and help us return to the original promise of an open platform, a sense of ownership, and the ability to share with each other on our own terms.

📣 Terraform enthusiasts, quick question: Are you incorporating #Terraform tests into your deployment pipelines? If so, which tools or frameworks (e.g., Terratest, etc) are you using, and how has it improved your workflow?

Who on here runs a #homelab ?
Ive opted in for a light weight setup as in South Africa we have regular power cuts, so something running on low power was essential for me. Currently im running 6 Intel NUCs with 32GB of ram each and nvme for storage, #Kubernetes, #ArgoCD and the fun goed on
