Every new feature = branch, every stable release = tag.
Add CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, whatever you like) for deploys and migrations.
Keep secrets out of the repo. Encrypt with SOPS or Vault if you must commit them.
Backup the repo remotely (GitHub, Gitea, self-hosted - just not only local).
-Git is your diary of sins. Write clean commits or face your shame during merge hell.-
- MINIO - The Treasure Vault
Energy level: sleek and slightly unhinged librarian energy - keeps everything neat, punishes leaks.
MinIO is your private cloud - your vault of digital gold.
Every product binary, every user upload, every byte that earns you money? It lives here.
Sysadmin needs it crushes:
- Object storage: scalable, reliable, S3-compatible.
- Access control: presigned URLs, access keys, and bucket policies.
- Audit logs: track who accessed what and when.
- Scaling: distributed mode, erasure coding, replication - all possible.
How to rule it:
Deploy MinIO on a private network, proxy admin access through NGINX.
Presigned URLs for downloads - short TTLs (5-15 mins) to keep pirates starving.
Scan every upload (ClamAV worker) before it-s visible.
Backup your MinIO metadata and objects to an offsite backup daily.
For scaling: move to distributed mode or small cluster once storage gets big.
-MinIO doesn-t forget. It watches. It tracks every download like a paranoid dragon sitting on a glittering pile of your users- media.-
- PAYPAL - The Money Conduit
Energy level: seductive, confident, bureaucratic elegance.
PayPal is the velvet glove of finance - smooth on the outside, terrifyingly strict underneath.
You don-t touch card data; you just verify, log, and thank the PCI gods it-s not your problem.
Sysadmin needs it crushes:
- Payments: handles credit cards safely; keeps you out of compliance hell.
- Webhooks: async events for payments, refunds, chargebacks.
