  1. Long time no #ElevatorFashionPic! We will get to 30°C in #Munich today, so t-shirt and linen trousers are appropriate. Bonus points for those who remember what the t-shirt expresses ;) #LifeAtRedHat

  2. Woke up at 4:30am. Sat down to convert around 3.6TB of 4K Blackmagic raw video to 1080p resolution (with colour correction, audio enhanced, the works), uploaded the resulting 60GB to a cloud drive so that editors can start working. First coffee at 9am. Back to back calls until an hour ago and now finally relaxing a bit. #LifeAtRedHat is fun, but sometimes it is a bit much too ;)

  3. Produced 18 pages of PDF with statistics on salary ranges and gender equality as part of being a member of the Works Council. The results are definitely worth discussing. It was a lot of work. Will now make a hot cocoa and catch up on missed sleep. #LifeAtRedHat

  4. "Someone", that has never identified themselves, put out a video at the time of Larry Ellison, Oracle Big Boss, introducing Oracle Enterprise Linux at OpenWorld 2006, shortened to every time he said Red Hat. That video lives rent free in my head ever since ;) It's still available at youtube.com/watch?v=n6WCRA4kSKY but I attached the version that lives on my hard drive :)

  5. Also available in our Red Hat Munich office: the modern version of the Unfakeable Linux sticker :) Back in 2006 Oracle announced the Red Hat Enterprise Linux based derivative called Oracle Enterprise Linux, with what they called the unbreakable kernel. Which led us at Red Hat to produce hundreds of t-shirts over night with „Unfakeable Linux“ the we put on and distributed the next day at Oracle‘s OpenWorld event :) I still have one of those original T-shirts..

  6. New entries for my Red Hat fashion collection — RHEL 10 style socks and T-shirt!

  7. There is a special kind of pride in building with the exact same enterprise-grade tech you stand behind every day. Just deployed my new app, on a 100% Red Hat trusted supply chain!

    OS: RHEL 10.1 :redhat:
    Runtime: Rootless Podman 5.6 + Quadlets :podman:
    Containers: UBI 10 everywhere! (Postgres 16, Valkey 8, and a ubi10/python-312-minimal base for the app itself)

    Secure by default, rock solid, and incredibly fun to build with.

  8. Press briefing (and good and long discussions) with 10 journalists on AI, Digital Sovereignty, our new study on those topics done. #LifeAtRedHat

  9. It's been so long since I mailed a physical letter that I had to look up mailbox locations on OpenStreetMap for the village I moved to. Even with a cold, I made the trek today because it was for the Red Hat Germany Works Council election. Democracy is important, and every single vote counts. 🗳️

  10. 10 yrs in #RedHat today. Feel like I need to write something profound. I love my job not just because it involves #opensource and #community, but mostly because of the wonderful colleagues I work with & amazing managers I work for. I'm thankful for #LifeatRedHat. That's all I have to say about that.

  11. Unexpectedly had a box with home baked Christmas cookies in my mail today.

    They came from my manager at Red Hat, who send them 😊 And they are really really tasty nom nom 🍪😋

  12. Nominated our CTO for an internal point reward under the "Transparency" heading. I didn't feel that a question during an internal AMA was answered fully. Shared the email I sent him in the AMA Slack channel. He took the time to call me and discuss it further, and shared, from the heart, the difficult task that so many corporate leaders have of balancing the desire to be transparent while facing the dangers of information leaks and the vocal court of critical, internal opinion. #lifeatredhat

  13. Throwback to January 2023 where we Red Hatters visited Dublin. #LifeAtRedHat

    (Yes, that's the same glitzy jacket I wore at our Munich Office Christmas party this week, hence the throwback :)

  14. I will now work on Red Hat internals to get this backport become official and hopefully distributed to all Red Hat Enterprise Linux users as part of an upcoming regular update. You should be able to follow that process at issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-

    #SelfHost #LifeAtRedHat @homelab

  15. So I shared my problems with Apple Time Machine backups not working with a Linux server running Samba. Turns out it was a known problem and needed a backport from a patch for Samba 4.23 to 4.22, which was added in 4.22.6, but my Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 version is 4.22.4. So. I got test RPMs with the backported patch in 4.22.4 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 from my colleague @cryptomilk at Red Hat and — it works :) Yay! #LifeAtRedHat

  16. It's been a few years since I last used `rpm -Uvh --force` to install some test packages straight from the Red Hat build system to hopefully be able to report back that the fix works. (UPDATE: It worked social.wildeboer.net/@jwildebo ) It's one of the reasons I love working at Red Hat. Being able to identify a bug and the possible reason, talk to the developers who immediately get it, getting a fix to test and finally getting that fix published in the next round of official updates. #LifeAtRedHat

  17. The first bit of snow on my bicycle and inside the soothing blinkenlights of the demo lab in our Munich office. #LifeAtRedHat

  18. Mentioning to a colleague from the legal department that I really dig the new Rosalía album, only to hear "She's such a wonderful person. I met her when I worked at Sony Music!" That's #LifeAtRedHat :)

  19. Pay gap analysis is hard, hard work. Sifting through thousands of lines of data, trying to identify reliable ways to make an argument and identify correct comparisons. Salary bands, levels, job descriptions — they all need to be accounted for. In case you thought being an elected member of the Works Council in a global company is easy (at least when you decide to take your responsibility serious).

  20. @jwildeboer @elmiko indeed, the goodies balance will work out in the end! I'm just happy and proud to work at #RedHat :)

  21. It’s #WARHW We Are Red Hat Week again! Time to celebrate who we are. And this year we get some nice pins to wear :) #LifeAtRedHat
