Hey #kubernetes krowd (?)

Say you're using #HelmCharts to spin things up, and you want to kick off some kubernetes jobs...

Do you usualy kick them off via Helm, or do you just do a `kubectl apply -f <somejob.yaml>`?

We're migrating to use #RedHat #OpenShift and we want to take the most advantage of k8s, but we also have a bunch of old batch jobs that are kicked off (distinct #Java and #Python apps)

We don't have any long-running services, but any advice would be 👍

From what I've read about Fedora's eventual AI integration, it will be builtin to the core of the system. This makes me wonder if it will still be possible to create an AI-free fork of Fedora. Or to create a customized AI-free atomic version.

Yes and no.

#Apple's #iPad makes it easy to test, build and sell #CCSS [commercial closed-source software] at a premium.

  • I mean, I'm happy with my #X230Tablet but I do acknowledge this is an old device and it's rather the exception than norm...

Simply because #Wacom makes good passive stylus and pen-capable touchscreens.

  • So OFC companies that have the money and resources to build premium #apps will target the premium customers who by virtue ob being able to splash 4 digits on a tablet brand-new will be proven more able to pay for their software.

That's why #Autodesk won't even sell people a #Linux license for #Maya (or any of their other tools) unless one has proof of ownership of a certified workstation (i.e. HP Z-series) with a #RHEL [#RedHat] #Workstation #subscription active to begin with.

  • And yes they will run the machine's serial # to check if it's ordered with parts that fit their system requirements from the factory and will demand the same for RHEL. I've been there and had to do that before they even consider offering one a subscription!

Compare that to like #AffinityDesigner on #iOS (or rather "#iPadOS") and the fact that basically all iPad users are expected to have an Apple account and credit card linked to it for the #AppStore and it's no wounder the developers of creative apps will focus on that.

The only exception are #FLOSS #apps that are native to Linux and/or got started on other #Unix Systems [#blender started out on #IRIX as CCSS] and serve #macOS & #Windows as 2nd & 3rd tier platforms [i.e. #darktable oftentimes had no Windows builds because none of the devs had or wanted a Windows machine to test on!]

If you're attending the Red Hat Summit this year, I'll be there as well and will be talking about post-quantum cryptography together with @simo5. I also will be showing some upstream demos around FreeIPA projects.

Never been at the Summit before, so it would be an opportunity to meet and talk.

My demos and the talk are on the schedule on Tuesday and Wednesday:

Let's #workTogether !

No job description yet, but, hear me out:

I've recently left #RedHat, to do something I feel is more meaningful: help build a better home for #OpenSource: @radicle

We're now looking for someone with experience in the #frontend world and a #UserExperience focus and #product builder mindset to join my team!

( A thread 🧵👇 )

Boosts, to help this get to the right person without an algorithm in the way, are highly appreciated!

The State of #OpenSource in #2025? Honestly, it's a mess but you knew that already
Good news: everyone's using it. Bad news: have you seen how they're using it?
#RedHat seems to have alienated a lot of people by killing #CentOS – not merely from its own offerings but potentially from the greater family of distributions. Although #RHEL is still significant, survey did not show an obvious trend towards Alma, or Rocky, or CentOS Stream – let alone a direct move to RHEL.

Somebody dragged their feet so I just now got my ticket to #RedHat Summit, and of course all the good #ansible stuff is "waitlist full."

You know what isn't even waitlisted anywhere? That's right, #AI slop. It's almost as if #sysadmin types have been around long enough to know that the buzzword-of-the-day is 99.9% dreck with the remaining portion something for a few people who actually have an interest in whatever the technology backing $BUZZWORD is.

#Perl DBD::mysql and the corresponding #RHEL package have always been #MariaDB compatible, i.e., you could install MariaDB and DBD::mysql RPMs together.
But the new DBD::mysql package in #CentOS stream can no longer be installed with MariaDB.
I filed a bug (issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-) and #RedHat said it's not supposed to work. Except it always has.
What do you think?
(Note if it doesn't work then all Perl scripts on the host that use DBD::mysql must be modified to use DBD::MariaDB instead.)
