Temporal is MIT licensed and comes with multi-tenant security features and its durable execution model is solid and scalability is phenomenal. They upsell to the cloud offering and the default OSS auth plugin is intentionally limited (you might want to develop your own if you self-host). You’d probably only look at the Temporal UI when debugging.

Windmill is very cool, but it is only suitable for trusted teams due to its security model. If you want to be able to develop scripts and workflows in the web browser and run them together with trusted colleagues, on a schedule etc., then windmill might just be for you!

25 or so years ago, I learnt Esperanto (my first second language) by chatting on the Internet. I’d have two windows open - one with the IRC client, and the other with a terminal and a shell script that would grep a txt file with consistent formatting. “esp esperantoVerbPrefix/” or “esp noun,” or “esp affix-” would typically return the correct result in a split second. Thanks to the simple grammar (that I had quickly memorized), I could hold conversations in near real time as a result.

I wish I could have learnt my other languages as easily.

NFSv3 (udp, stateless) was always as reliable as the network infra under Linux, I found. NFSv4 made things a bit more complicated.

You don’t want any NAT / stateful connection tracking in the network path (anything that could hiccup and forget), and wired connections only for permanent storage mounts, of course.
