Ansible works over SSH. You install Ansible on your local machine and it connects over SSH to run the playback.

To your VPS it looks like a user has logged in and is running commands. It's very useful for remote management of thousands of servers because you don't need to install anything, they just need to have SSH enabled.

I haven't tested this at all, it's just popped into my head, but, could you create a VM on one of the nodes and join that to the cluster?

If it does work, I wouldn't recommend it. But I'd be curious to see if that would work.

That's why I switched too.

I also wanted to use more of the coreutils in my workflow to make me a better engineer since they're present on every system while my emacs config is not.

OK thanks, good to know it's not just me. I'm sure it'll get better now we're gaining more momentum with Lemmy.

I think this is his best one yet 😅

I was heavily into Emacs for the last few years, but now I'm back to Vim (Neovim this time)

Thanks for this. I did the same yesterday on DigitalOcean, but I might migrate to my bigger Hetzner instance if I get enough signups.

A question on searching for communities though:

When I search for a community on another instance to add, I search for [email protected] and nothing shows up, but when I reload the communities window and go to "all" the community shows up to subscribe to.

Do you see the community first time, or is it the same for you as above?

It takes a little getting used to, but once you're flowing on a split with colemak-dh it feels very natural.

I get the same, I'd love to find out a solution.

Turning off SSL doesn't help.
