Terraform, Packer, Ansible, etc. These just happen to be the /modern/
things I'm using at work lately. They are all useful but all seem to be
not quite as good as they could be.
I haven't set up a gemini capsule of my own yet, but reading this group
I'm getting more interesting in doing so. Modern is not bad in and of
itself, but neither is old bad just because it's old.
You definitely should. I find gemini really accessible and so much so
that my http site is just a proxy of my gemini one.
I think ``modern'' things try to focus more on the outward facilities of
things rather than the innards. It seems accessible, yes, but don't ever
dare look behind the curtain. Because behind that curtain, is layers of
pain that you don't want to experience.
