It's pretty clear that this whole project was god-tier level procrastination so I wouldn't worry too much about the details. The original stated problem could have been solved with a 5-line shell script.

Not strictly related, but I got to the parts about using a dependency to speed up builds in the container, and that his website has "hundreds" of Rust dependencies, and I was reminded why I get so annoyed with Rust. It's a great language, but the practice of just duct taping a bunch of dependencies together drives me nuts.
what language are you using where you arent pulling in deps for much of the work?
At work I prefer languages that take a "batteries included" approach. So Go and Python are good examples. You can get really far with just what is offered in the standard libraries. Though obviously you can still pull in a shitload of dependencies if you want.
In my own time I usually write C or Zig.
