I love a good humble bundle and Packt has great offer with its Cloud Infrastructure and Devops toolkit bundle. A great mix of AWS, Azure, Platform Engineering and MLOps with money going to No Kid Hungry.

I think that argument would hold if it was a modern subscription model and it was a choice to have it or not.
While anyone who watches any form of live TV has to pay for it they will be under pressure to be seen to offer something for everyone.

OpenAI would appear to be removing the right to fairuse.
That's a big change in the landscape considering the hypocrisy of how they treat smaller IP holders.

The image shows a command-line example where a text file is created with "Hello, world!" using `echo`, a Ruby HTTP server is started with `ruby -run -e httpd`, and the file is accessed using `curl`.
Need to serve some files in a pinch? #Ruby gives us a one-liner to do just that!
ruby -run -e httpd
It's included in the Ruby standard library as part of `un`, which offers alternatives to common Unix commands.

Its an emotional day as I finish up at Perforce Puppet / Perforce Software after just under 4 years having spent the past 12 years working on Puppet as a user, a vendor and with the community
I am very excited about the new opportunity I am moving to but will miss the people of Puppet and Perforce
After some confusion about PDK test unit output for Facter I wanted to quickly write something up to inform on how PDK works with Vox Pupuli project Facterdb.

Platform Engineering for Architects by @mkoerbi.bsky.social @grabnerandi.bsky.social & Hilliary Lipsig
It's wonderfully detailed and well researched. Building all the right foundations for thinking about how to build and maintain platforms. A critical reference to fully think through your platform.
The classic @terrypratchett.bsky.social Sam Vines boots theory goes a long way here too terrypratchett.com/explore-disc...
