I’ve been hinking about infrastructure as code tools. Skimmed the very surface of opentofu, looked at the list of alternatives.
I’m in need of something that is both, deployment automation and (implicit) documentation of the thing that I call “the zoo”. Namely:
- network definition
- machine definitions (VMs, containers) and their configuration
- inventory: keeping track of third party resources
Now I think about which tool would be the right one for the job while I’m still not 100% sure what the job is. I don’t like added complexity, it is quite possible this could become a dead end for me, if I spend more time wrangling the tool than I gain in the end.
PS: If you haven’t already, please take a look at your openssl packages. Since this week there are two new CVEs rated as high: https://openssl-library.org/news/vulnerabilities/index.html

Oh I hated these warts.
All the effort that goes into protecting content and almost none works for a longer period of time.
But it always affects the rightful user (if it gets in the way). Looking at you HDCP, you are the reason for the few seconds delay before the HDMI connection is made.
