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.

(Writing this because I'm about to spin up some VMs)

As a contributor to the #Fedora community, I'm glad I got to ask about collaboration with Fedora and downstream EL friends at FOSSY.

Big shifts in the open #EnterpriseLinux ecosystem have created opportunity for dialogue and collaboration among downstream and upstream projects. Awesome to be part of this conversation, and part of the ongoing story. #flocktofedora #elcommunity

The RESF is a Platinum sponsor of Flock to Fedora in Cork, Ireland in August. https://flocktofedora.org/

That which supports upstream Enterprise Linux also benefits projects like Rocky Linux, of course. Our contributors have known this since the beginning. This is what an open source "freeloader" looks like.

Well, this was not a development I was expecting.

"Today SUSE [...] announced it is forking publicly available Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and will develop and maintain a RHEL-compatible distribution available to all without restrictions."

If someone more familiar with the #EnterpriseLinux space could help me out, #Suse’s recent decision to fund a RHEL fork has me a bit confused.

I know Suse has their own distro, #SLE, and that there are comparative strengths and weaknesses between SLE and RHEL, but is RHEL so much of a standard in this space that Suse would rather spend money maintaining a RHEL fork than, for example, on community outreach to maybe make a downstream fork of SLE the new community standard? I don’t get it.

The Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation was established based on our shared vision that open source software should remain stable, accessible to all, and managed by the community. How do we keep it that way? #enterpriselinux #opensource #community #rockylinux https://rockylinux.org/news/keeping-open-source-open/ @rockylinux

看一下 #RedHat #EnterpriseLinux Server的訂閱費用，標準版一年是799美元，似乎沒有限制安裝台數，這樣說來也不算貴，但還是一堆公司寧可使用 #CentOS 與其衍生版本，難怪他們會擺出強硬的態度想要逼那些免費仔付錢。

不過我認為這越來越難了，許多系統佈署在容器中，Container Host是什麼OS根本無關緊要，而Container會用哪個作業系統做基底大多是根據佔用容量與使用熟悉度，用Rat Hat及其衍生作為基底的容器非常稀少。

也就是說，Red Hat的影響力越來越少。

What is the power of an open source community? It is the ability to dig deep in critical moments, to rise above and carry on. This week the greater Enterprise Linux community was gifted one such critical moment, and the Rocky Linux project has responded swiftly.

Rocky Linux, a prominent community-driven open-source distribution of Enterprise Linux (EL), remains confident in its ability to continue as a bug-for-bug compatible and freely available alternative to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), despite changes in accessibility.

Remember that story recently about Project Zero finding three unpatched kernel vulnerabilities in CentOS 9? As of May 1st, all three are now fixed (never mind the fact that one of them was already fixed well before the story came out). CentOS 9 is currently the only Enterprise Linux distro with these fixes.
