@majicjay I've used PIA for 5+ years and had no issues with them yet
@aspittel about as useful as a screen door on a submarine
@amolith still quicker to learn and get up & running than the alternatives like puppet and chef.
Also I may be biased, as a contributor myself
@amolith the one downside to ansible IMO is the uneven pace at which they introduce breaking changes, even across minor versions.
For one particular app (that is admittedly many years old), I've had to update all my playbooks after every few minor (and one major) version updates

US residents:
Jump on the Equifax leak claim wagon. You get $125 in the settlement, automatically. ALSO, you can be compensated at the rate of $25 per hour for time spend remediating their fuckup, and only have to provide documentation if you spent more than 10 hours unfucking them. The official claim site is https://www.equifaxbreachsettlement.com/

Recently, Github has restricted people from Iran, Syria, and other regions from accessing their private repositories and the static website host Github Pages.
Free and ethical technology use denounces such crony nepotism oppressing individuals from practicing technological liberties and hacker culture. Please consider using https://sourcehut.org/ as your new host for your projects. Sourcehut is 100% libre, composable, Javascript-free, and does not track you at all!
