Dependency tracking on GitLab projects in 2025
GiHub users have Dependabot to help manage never-ending updates to their dependencies. What do GitLab users use? Apparently, Renovate Bot.

Vagrant1 by Hashicorp is a programmatic/IaC wrapper around hypervisors that vagrant calls "providers" and a mechanism to easily manage VM images called "boxes". The default providers included with a vagrant install are Virtualbox, Hyper-V and Docker (Hashicorp also maintains a first party VMware provider but it's a separate installation). Vagrant has a plugin architecture allowing us to install additional providers.
You can install vagrant using Homebrew with brew install vagrant
and then list the installed plugins with the command vagrant plugin list.
It seems that every 10 years I feel compelled to renovate the way I blog. I've just installed new blog system on my Mac. It uses Mkdocs, or more precisely its variant Material for MkDocs1, an open source SSG and is published on Gitlab Pages. I have used it as the documentation system in my previous organisation and I liked it lot, and I recently realised it is good for blogging systems too.
