Show HN: Container-focused, generics based Go configuration
Hey HN!
I built a Go library for convenient parsing of env + flag pairs. At the time, I needed a dependency-free solution — so bringing in Viper or other "heavy lifters" wasn’t an option.
Along the way, I came across a few lesser-known libraries that might’ve worked, but by then the project was nearly done. Plus, this one seems to be the only config lib that’s built on generics and reflection-free.
If that sounds interesting, I’d love for you to give it a try and share your feedback: https://github.com/atelpis/enflag
Thanks!

Ask HN: Workstation/rig config for local LLM finetuning/training and inference?
I need help purchasing/putting together a rig that's powerful enough for training LLMs from scratch, finetuning models, and inferencing them.
Many people on this sub showcase their impressive GPU clusters, often usnig 3090/4090. But I need more than that—essentially the higher the VRAM, the better.
Here's some options that have been announced, please tell me your recommendation even if it's not one of these:
- Nvidia DGX Station
- Dell Pro Max with GB300 (Lenovo and HP offer similar products)
The above are not available yet, but it's okay, I'll need this rig by August.
Some people suggest AMD's MI300x or MI210. MI300x comes only in x8 boxes, otherwise it's an attractive offer!
Budget ≤ $30,000
