  1. “CERN Renounces RHEL in Favor of Debian for Its Accelerator Controls Infrastructure”

    Well, nope. They are dropping CentOS, (free) not RHEL (costs $).

  2. IBM's Red Hat and Canonical's Snap both earned the anger they get.

    I still run RHEL and Ubuntu at work. Arch at home, Debian in the lab.

    Letting a vendor grudge pick your skill set isn't principle — it's cutting off your own career to spite a logo.

    apt vs dnf vs pacman is a shell-prompt argument, not an architecture one.

    Run what you love at home. Support what's on the floor at work.

  7. Two things I noticed:

    The microshift-olm package provices the Operator Lifecycle Manager, but apparently only a very limited subset. I could not get it working at all.

    There are packages for ArgoCD, called microshift-gitops. Those install a part of ArgoCD. You get the repo-server, redis and the application-controller. But no WebUI. I have not found out yet, if I can still use the argocd CLI to connect to the cluster and e.g. sync an application, as it normally (AFAIK) relies on the web component being exposed via ingress, loadbalancer or port-forward. I'll report back if I get it working. Other than the missing WebUI, it does what ArgoCD is supposed to do: sync stuff into the cluster. Nice.

  8. Dear Openshift and Kubernetes users,

    after my single-node OpenShift cluster broke for the third time (pods not coming up, no idea what went wrong this time), I reinstalled the machine and tried MicroShift.

    I overlooked the tiny detail in the documentation that there are subscription repos for RHEL10, but only packages for RHEL9. So I had to reinstall my machine after trying RHEL10 first.

    In general microshift seems to be an easy way to get a OpenShift-like "cluster" running on a single machine. I'll report back once I did some more thorough testing.

  9. Archivierung und Kompression mit tar: Grundlagen, Optionen und Beispiele

    tar (Tape Archiver) ist das Standard-Archivierungswerkzeug unter Linux, das mehrere Dateien und Ordner zu einem einzigen Archiv bündelt. Im Gegensatz zu gzip, bzip2 und xz komprimiert tar nicht selbst, sondern arbeitet mit Kompressionstools zusammen (z, j, J). Es erhält vollständige Metadaten inklusive Berechtigungen und SELinux-Kontexte. Wichtige Optionen von tar -c (create) : Erstellt ein neues Archiv. -f (file name). : Gibt den Dateinamen des Archivs an. # Einen Ordner […]

  10. This is a very cool and easy to follow story of one person's personal needs for their server.

    They start with assuming they stability as high as RHEL with consistent versioning, but over time containers erases that concern so they are freed up to think about other nice things like having newer software.

    If you've wondered why people use Fedora Server when CentOS and RHEL exist, this is one reason!

  11. Decisions that didn't age well (oVirt dropping Fedora support to focus specifically on RHEL). Red Hat dropped general commercial support for oVirt (RHV) last year and has removed SPICE from #RHEL. #ovirt #Fedora #virtualization #libvirt #Linux
