  I went to check up on PowerDNS Admin, a tool I use for managing my DNS. I knew they were working on a rewrite. It's now called DNSMin.

  Maybe the fediverse has the answer. I have Python scripts on a Linux server that I am running as a service account. They need packages from PyPI for the script to work, and the account does not have a home directory. How should I handle the virtual environment for that? #AskFedi #python #linux
