This is a good move. And people will figure out that bug-for-bug compatibility doesn't really matter in practice, binary compatibility and long-term support do - if this weren't the case, the whole Debian ecosystem wouldn't e

What is this supposed to be? SUSE responding to Red Hat obstructing RHEL clones by creating a new RHEL clone? Or are they forking RHEL into something that will try to remain compatible, while not being a clone? The latter is what Red Hat se

Don't know specifically about CentOS Stream, but I used to run things like IBM DB2, IBM TSM, and a few other stuff that was built for RHEL 4.x/5.x on RHEL 5.x/6.x. One thing that I like about RPM is how most packages specify

Red Hat has even been making this easier for the last few years... Back in 2003, when they discontinued Red Hat Linux (RHEL's predecessor) and locked binary RPMs behind a subscription (to similar outrage), the clones didn't have a

I understand that scenario, having lived in it for many years. However, in practice, that doesn't require bug-for-bug compatibility. The proof of this is that such software tends to run perfectly fine even across different RHEL major v

Why do bug-for-bug with RHEL at all? Why not turn Alma and Rocky into stable distributions in their own right? If this pushes RHEL into oblivion, why should anyone care? The Debian ecosystem isn't centered on Ubuntu, it's centered

Why can't AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux drop their bug-for-bug compatibility commitment, and become stable distributions in their own right, based on CentOS Stream? I think this ecosystem would gain a lot from these distributions having th

The map shows numbers from speed tests, which is only to Cloudflare, yes. But IQI's bandwidth numbers are lower because it displays average utilization (i.e. shorter requests, like web browsing, mostly capped by latency) while the ma

Nothing wrong with Debian, but RHEL has a better support cycle and more engineering resources dedicated to that support. Debian 12 will be supported for 5 years, and so will each CentOS Stream release (it ends with the release of the last R

That’s exactly what I said: even if you’re running a 1:1 clone, they won’t support you unless it’s RHEL itself.

I don't think Red Hat is trying to kill clones, but I believe they're trying to kill clones that are "1:1 compatible with RHEL". They're trying to force a shift in what clones are supposed to be, and that started wi

There's something to be said about why those architectures, plus many others, died in favor of an x86 monoculture.

"Since its introduction over 20 years ago, the Intel® 64 architecture became the dominant operating mode." This is how Intel takes credit for AMD's x86-64.

Not saying that it isn't useful in practice, but ping is not the best tool if you want accurate latency measurements (ICMP is often deprioritized, in the network and by the OS when sending back replies).

That's not true, fortunately. You do need a router with a beefy CPU, though. With SQM (CAKE) enabled, my WRT1900acs router (1.6GHz dual-core) can handle my 500/100 Mbps FTTH connection just fine, with plenty of CPU to spare. Fro

I had a Samsung 19-inch pseudo-flat CRT that showed discoloration in the corners just by rotating it horizontally. Turning it off and on again fixed it (I supposed it degaussed on startup).

Sometimes organizations that look less secure are actually more secure just because they degrade gracefully under attack and/or can more easily mitigate/revert the consequences of successful attacks.

First off, kudos to the author, awesome project and a very nice read. During the first round of lockdowns I also spent a few lazy afternoons tinkering around this idea, mostly to get the feeling of how hard it would be ( https://g
