As our infrastructure is growing, the number of services and tasks is increasing as well. This can be tedious and time consuming, especially when you have to deal with a lot of servers - enter Ansible! Ansible allows automating tasks on a wide range of platforms, including Linux, Windows, and Mac. 🔧
Recently we got to know that Mozilla no longer supports a free internet. Their browser, Firefox, collects a lot of telemetry by default. Since using Chromium based browsers is not really an alternative (There shouldn’t be a single browser engine dictating web standarts! 👀), a better solution had to be found!
Since about 2 years I have been using Linux. Since the beginning, I loved the way things work on Linux, the simplicity and customizability - something unheard of in among windows users. A long time of these two years I spent distro hopping, searching for the optimal Linux distribution for my requirements. 🦅
As Chaotic-AUR is the repository (kind of an appstore for Linux distributions) of Garuda Linux and one of the user repositories with the most (and most useful) packages out there I decided to help with maintenance and provide another mirror for it. Especially a massive increase of web traffic on the main server made this necessary!
