From Brian Eno et. al. - https://www.oblique-strategies.com/

I configured fortune to spit out a random oblique strategy in my .bashrc every time I open up a new terminal; it’s great fun, and a gentle reminder when I’ve been working too long that I should spend more time pursuing the art that I love.

Does anyone know of a libre/free resource that has a list of strategies in the same spirit?

Also, does anyone have a libre/free source for something more tech oriented? I can imagine the cards being something like "make data column oriented instead of row oriented" or "deduplicate data".

The best I've found is the "Little Deck of Game Design" [0], which seems pretty cool.

Ansible generally prefers .yml - https://github.com/redhat-cop/automation-good-practices/tree... "When naming files, use the .yml extension and not .yaml. .yml is what ansible-galaxy init does when creating a new role template."

You are correct. And there is an Ansible role for automated management: https://github.com/linux-system-roles/podman/

"Hipsters on Food Stamps" or "Why would someone take out $100k student loan to go to U of Chicago to earn a 'useless' degree? And why does it make me so angry?"

re: point 4.

OpenStack and Ansible are pretty large applications/ecosystems

It can be, yes. For someone who is a strong believer in and advocate of FOSS, who makes her/his livelihood developing FOSS for a FOSS software company, to be forced to use proprietary solutions where there are reasonable FOSS alternatives can be very disheartening, demoralizing, and even humiliating.

I am not sure still why it is humiliating specifically - disheartening sure, demoralizing makes sense. But why would it be humiliating if you are not the person pushing that the paid / non FLOSS app be used in the first place?

Isn't this also a good chance to evangelize an alternative to whomever you are speaking with?

I also thought of that as being a chance to 'evangelize' FLOSS alternatives.

The first thing I actually thought of was this set of verses talking about evangelizing in a somewhat similar context: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+9...
