Redhat's M.O. seems to be "we need to improve this part of the ecosystem"

Then they toss it into the RHEL meat grinder at camp Poettering and out comes something that might be better but nobody will ever know because it's impossible to understand.

I discovered this when I migrated some dev boxes to CentOS Stream. So don't panic when it looks like it dumped your firewall rules.

Well, shit. Firewalld has switched from using iptables as the backend, so one can't sanity check rules using that anymore. It's now using nftables. Another new thing to learn.

There's a broader conversation required here about the fact that RHEL are dragging Linux about like a knackered donkey and there's no end in sight to it.

CentOS of the last five years has really been too good to be true from a server standpoint, being as it's basically RHEL without the baggage. I knew it couldn't last.

This whole CentOS Stream thing could have been better managed.

I see it so often, and on every single occasion I suspect it's complete bullshit. Much like the "My 4yr old's thoughts on the latest American Scientist feature on Global Warming were too good to be real"

My favorite thing on social media is people transcribing conversations they really and most definitely had, for internet points.

I don't know what it is about Apple's bluetooth stack, but it's very greedy, for want of a better word. If an Apple device is paired to something, it tends to stop anything else using it.

I don't action them until business hours unless it's really something I don't want the ballache on monday morning, but that's business as usual.

The most annoying side effect of the pandemic remote working conditions has been people's perception you're available 24/7, I have had more tickets come in at the weekends than ever before.

Does anybody ever hear from Maiyannah B? Her site's not been updated in ages and I'm assuming she completely gave up on her fedi work.

Now look what we did

Friends joke I found the one place in America that's even wetter than England....

It's not the cold or the snow, because neither of those is that severe here, it's just the endless grey light. 3rd worst city in the USA for cloud cover. Worst is Buffalo and that's just over the lake to the North.

It's as gloomy as anything here. Heavy cloud cover with rain and very wet snow. I'm slowly getting absolutely sick of winter. Always happens in January and we're not even half way through.
