Frequent guest (and almost real-life-friend) @adamhjk returns to share his spicy takes on all the recent “open source meets business” drama.

We also take some time to catch up on the state of his open source-based business, System Initiative.

IBM buys HashiCorp for 6,4 billion USD.

It probably was a good idea, that some of the most important Open Source products were already forked some time ago.

Sigh.

Holy shit.

Unsure what to think of IBM holding two of the most used configuration management/infrastructure as code tools organisations in their portfolio.

So that really only leaves Pulumi as an indepedent player?

I mean, good for them (seriously), but it’s truly hard to believe that the sometimes-janky ruby-amounts-of-slow VM launcher that I did awful things to in order to hack it into submission for things like custom DNS resolution and automatic VPN connections to the host, 10+ years ago—Vagrant—has hard-work-bloomed into a company that IBM acquired for 6.4 billion-with-a-b dollars.

(Glad we’re not using their stuff right now, but truly happy for the founders.)

Looks like Hashicorp are already playing dirty against the OpenTofu fork: https://opentofu.org/blog/our-response-to-hashicorps-cease-and-desist

Good to know they're rattled at least. Keep using OpenTofu folks and stop trusting Hashicorp.

sending their lawyers on feels like the last chapter of what was once a great open source company. Oh well, the claims look baseless, and like pretty much any move Hahicorp made this past year, this will only hurt themselves.

Huh wow, TIL never had a contributor license agreement.

Does that make this the first high-profile case of a previously-FOSS project relicensing while having a bunch of contributions made by people who didn't consent to the license change? ..How is that going to go down

@marcus_grant Yes, clarifying mutual expectations is good. If a contract on top of the license helps, so be it.

I'm not convinced it's primarily a legal issue: to this day, if you're a self-hosted user of , you have no way to throw money at HashiCorp even if you want to.

Same with the fiasco (https://github.com/cncf/toc/issues/1262): did Buoyant ever ask help from or anyone before cutting off the supposed free-riders?

Maybe the VC playbook doesn't fit collaboration.

J’ai enfin trouvé ce qui coinçait avec les dernières versions de : il faut MySQL 8, MariaDB n’est pas compatible.

Envkey est un service web permettant de partager des secrets de façon sécurisée.
Intérêt : vous intégrez le module envkey de votre langage dans votre projet, un fichier .envkey pour dire quels secrets récupérer et vous n’avez plus besoin qu’une variable d’environnement ENVKEY (ça, on commite pas) pour avoir accès à vos secrets depuis votre code

est un peu perturbant au début car il n’y a pas d’interface web. Il y a des clients desktop ou CLI et un serveur d’API.

Je pense qu’il peut être bien pratique !

NB : je l’ai trouvé en cherchant un remplaçant au d’ quand ils ont changé la licence. Non pas que je l’utilisais avant, mais ça fait partie de mon taf de faire de la veille technologique.
