Quick question to the community; I’m wondering what kinds of open source software folks are using out there and what you’ve used and found useful/not useful over the years.
A more interesting question is whether the headline packages which we all use are more or less useful than the infrastructure packages that they depend on.
Here's the package count from some VMs tied into an orchestrated server deployment:
# salt --out=json -G os:Ubuntu pkg.list_pkgs | jq '. | to_entries[] | .value | keys[]' | sort | uniq | wc -l 4082
Is wireshark is more useful than bpf or nginx more useful than libiconv? Try deinstalling either and seeing what happens.
