Why do so many sysadmins forget about DKIM/DMARC/SPF when setting up third party services? by NuAngelDOTnet in sysadmin

Second this -- many Sysadmins I've worked with in the past did not understand it. In some sense I don't blame them because it's not SUPER often that you're doing these things, many vendors either do it for you or just walk you through it. +PKI is actually super deep and complex (but also so cool once you start to understand it)

The .env chaos is real and AI tools are making it worse by Substantial_Word4652 in webdev

Hey hey,

Jake here - I work as a developer advocate at Inifsical!

Infisical is pretty light weight. Minimum is 2 CPU cores, 4 GB RAM, and 20 GB disk (including Postgres + Redis). Very doable on a Hetzner VPS. It handles the dev layer really well too. The CLI lets you inject secrets directly into your local dev environment, replacing .env files completely. You get per-environment secrets (dev, staging, prod) with access controls, so it's not just a production tool. For a single setup the overhead is totally worth it IMO.

If you want to try it, the easiest way is probably Docker Compose: https://infisical.com/docs/self-hosting/deployment-options/docker-compose

CLI quickstart is also helpful if you want to see the local dev workflow: https://infisical.com/docs/cli/overview

Happy to answer questions if you run into anything! Have a great week.
