Had another overnight soft lock-up on my Debian 12 home server/web dev machine - the third soft lock-up in two months. The host was up, returning pings, just not talking over any network ports. GNOME was dead, replaced by a tiny solid white immovable dash in the upper left corner of the screen. Logs showed nothing, they just stopped suddenly. I have zero time for this.

So I installed #AlmaLinux. Like putting on a favorite pair of jeans. It feels good to be back on EL9. #Linux

I nuovi repository di AlmaLinux per la compatibilità ABI con RHEL e la nuova modalità di test dei pacchetti

"The chair of #AlmaLinux has revealed the reason why the foundation isn’t part of the Open Enterprise #Linux Association (OpenELA) is because it was never asked."

The addition of the Synergy repo is super cool to see the project doing to address the needs of the community. Love to see it! Kudos to everyone involved in @almalinux ❤️👍

AlmaLinux OS führt zwei neue Repositories ein

ATTENTION #adminsys qui utilisent les dépots #tranquil.it pour #samba4 sous #redhat8 et affiliées (#almalinux, etc...): ils n’ont pas les derniers patchs relatif à la mise à jour #2H22 de #Windows10/11
Les postes recevant la #2H22 ne trouvent plus de canal sécurisé pour se connecter aux DCs. Plus de GPO, d’accès RDP sur les comptes du domaine, etc.
Les patchs pour v4.11 sont les commit du 17/07: https://gitlab.com/samba-team/samba/-/commits/v4-16-stable?ref_type=heads
J’ai dû récupérés les sources des paquets et recompiler.

I have a new #GoToSocial #ActivityPub server that so far is running very well. Instead of two Raspberry Pi W boards on the chair next to me, this time I'm using an #AlmaLinux 9 VPS in the Oracle Cloud Free Tier.

My account on the server is @steven

Even though you can look up #RHEL, #RockyLinux or #CentOS when you need #AlmaLinux help, you can get all the solutions you need just by searching "almalinux"

I built a second #GoToSocial #Fediverse server, this time on a VPS instead of RaspberryPi Zero W's. I'm hoping the server is better able to run GtS than the Pi, which became unresponsive at regular intervals.

So I went from a pair of Pi's with RPi's version of #Debian to an #AlmaLinux server on the #OracleCloud free tier. This is an experiment, so I'm hoping for the best in terms of Oracle not randomly killing the VPS.

I haven't set up GtS beyond the testing stage, so it's not live just yet.

I am spinning up a new #GoToSocial server, this time on a VPN running #AlmaLinux 9.

#Fediverse #SelfHosting #HomeLab #ActivityPub #EnterpriseLinux #Linux

#AlmaLinux has played everything right over the past few tumultuous months, and it's definitely my No. 1 #EnterpriseLinux project and community.

Technical excellence, community focused, cool-headed.

I like all of it.

The Minisforum PC went back to Amazon today.... High frequency coil whine (thought it was my tinitus at first, but no...) and obvious loose contact on the USB4 ports. At least when you plugged in a 2nd USB-C cable, only the first connected device worked immediately, the second only after several times in and out. Man, what am I pissed off ...

But what am I glad that I have not discarded my old Linux computer.

Ahh interesting. The #cpanel crontab editor picks up the lines I've manually entered in via the cli 👍 #almalinux

The #AlmaLinux Dilemma: When Upstream Suddenly Disappears :almalinux:

https://fossforce.com/2023/08/the-almalinux-dilemma-when-upstream-suddenly-disappears/

My new Minisforum UM790 Pro with the Ryzen 9 7940HS is really a fucking awesome beast! So much so that I'm seriously considering buying a second one to have equally potent machines for Linux AND Windows projects.

Guys, I can't emphasize it enough: great part, buy!!! 😎 😜 💰

From issue 274: Joe Casad shares his thoughts on Red Hat's recent moves with RHEL, the GPL license, and the case law that surrounds it https://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/2023/274/Welcome #Linux #RedHat #RHEL #GPL #license #IBM #AlmaLinux #RockyLinux #SUSE

As we wrap up, we want to do one more go around with shout-outs and highlights for our sponsors. Thank you again to Red Hat, @rockylinux, @centos, @almalinux, @opensuse, Meta, and Lenovo for helping us with Flock!

Huge shout-out to Noah from @asknoahshow for covering the #RedHat drama better than anyone else on the planet!

He invited RedHat, #RockyLinux, #SuSE folks on the show, discussed #AlmaLinux and even had a fellow from the Software Freedom Conservancy.

Very broad and also deep dive into the reasons and the implications of the changes in the way RedHat distributes its source code.

If you're interested, check out Ep. 343, 345, 347 and 348
