Running your own private discount web hosting used to be fun and lucrative, less so with AWS nowadays and it takes time to build up a customer base. Still fun though. Short term project contracting is what got me out of my burnout. As did l

I wonder if the target of loglib-modules and hkg-sol-utils is a specific company running its own internal PyPi server, or something like a scientific collaboration (which can be thousands of people and billions of dollars, especially in the
