Great to see that there's an increasing focus on performance.

Any all-you-can-eat policy is going to attract people who abuse it, and storage isn't cheap so this isn't really a surprise. Looking at the limits they're pretty generous for any real use case and people who need more than that should probably just accept that big storage is going to cost money.

I'm always amazed that any foreign government handling sensitive information or dealing with defence would consider using windows. Linux has been competent for all common tasks for a long time now and won't hold any hidden surprises.

That's amazing that they would consider auto-generated responses to be appropriate in something which is supposed to be reference documentation. We are a good way from that type of querying and explanation being reliable.

This isn't what it sounds like. If you go through to the original article then the AI usage is for generative AI which you can add to your meetings (eg generating subtitles). It's an opt-in service and you're notified on the call if someone enables it. They're not just collecting your call data.

I use a cheap USB recharageable rear light from Amazon which have worked great and are nice and bright. For the front light those don't work so well if you need to illuminate the road ahead (rather than just be seen by others). I use a LifeLine pavo 720 lumen light which has been great. I don't think they sell that particular model any more but something like this is very close.

I really enjoyed The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. It got panned by the critics and didn't do well at the box office, but seems to be being more accepted recently.

Yes, have been seeing this too. Only spotted it when I tried to upvote.

I'm in the same position but I'm trying to post some content to try to induce some.people.to participate. I'm going to give it a few months where it can be my personal link farm and I'll rethink after that if it gains no traction.

Regardless of the merits of their respective cases she was very much a victim of a poor choice of legal representation. The contrast in the degree of preparedness and competency between their legal team couldn't have been clearer. The future careers of way more than Amber and Jonny were determined during that trial.

To be fair, the transfer from Cebtos8 to Alma couldn't have been easier. Just ran a script to update the RPM sources and a dnf update and we were done.

Moving to a different distro with different package managers and filesystem layout is a whole other level of hurt.

 

In case you missed it, Red Hat announced they will no longer be providing the means for downstream clones to continue to be 1:1 binary copies of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Very quickly, both Jack and I shared some initial thoughts, but we intentionally took our time deciding the next right step for AlmaLinux OS. After much discussion, the AlmaLinux OS Foundation board today has decided to drop the aim to be 1:1 with RHEL. AlmaLinux OS will instead aim to be Application Binary Interface (ABI) compatible

 

The new license terms for RHEL are structured to stop subscribers from exercising their rights under the GPL. For now they are still providing source code albeit in a less convenient form, but technically they only need to do this for GPL licenses packages and they could remove code for BSD /MIT / Apache licensed packages.

Do these developments make you more.inclined to distribute your software under a copyleft license or are you happy with something more open?

 

I've been running an HPC system for a science group for a while now and have built a couple of different systems based on common HPC infrastructures (ROCKS or Open HPC). These have been built on top of the rebuilt RHEL distros (mostly CentOS), but I don't really need the level of stability that these provide and would actually like the sort of updates that you get from something like CentOS stream, so this seems like a time to try this.

The problem is that I haven't found an HPC framework which would natively support this so I'm potentially going to have to roll my own. I don't need anything fancy just some way to automatically deploy nodes and set up slurm to get jobs queued.

Any pointers to suitable frameworks or tools which would help with this and which aren't tied to older distros?
