mogwire··on Fedora Workstation 39
Correct because it’s free if you agree to the terms. Amazing concept.

It’s like if you let me in your house, let me use your stuff, and then you ask me not to break something and then I break something and you kick me out and I get upset.

It’s in the EULA. They don’t deny it and it’s their right.

The problem is RMS and all the people supporting FOSS and the GPL say Red Hat, and any other company, are well with in their rights to have that clause.

And this causes people, who didn’t pay for RHEL, won’t pay for Rocky or Alma or any other clone to hate a company they never supported.

Holy FUD Batman.

It’s a good thing Open Enterprise Linux is here to save us by forking RHEL and their, god awful, GPL packages!

I’m glad to know that pyeri is swearing off so many packages maintained and contributed by Red Hat. Thanks for your sacrifice pyeri

mogwire··on Podman Desktop v1.5 with Compose onboarding and enhanced Kubernetes pod data
I think this is on purpose. Podman is suppose to be a stepping stone to OpenShift. They don’t want people using it for anything other than development.

How many workloads that are currently on OpenShift could sit on a RHEL server behind a load balancer and work just as well?

I would wager that the average OpenShift cluster is under 10 nodes, runs COTS software, and a bunch of security and logging apps like Dynatrace and just sits there primarily under utilizes because the COTS vendor is a RH partner and stopped shipping RPMs and said we only support OpenShift moving forward.

> But then Red Hat (i.e. Podman's sponsor) started trying to charge more people for software too

Podman is free as is Podman Desktop.

Red Hat didn’t raise its prices.

CentOS Streams and Fedora is still free.

Oh you mean they made it difficult for Rocky to build the SRPMs. Sorry sorry. Hard to keep up with the FUD.

mogwire··on Jina AI launches open-source 8k text embedding
Source would be the way the data is produced so that you can replicate it yourself and make changes.

If I hand you a beer for free that’s freeware. If I hand you the recipe and instructions to brew the beer that is open source.

We muddy the waters too much lately and call “free” to use things “open source”.

mogwire··on Nearly half of non-Tesla EV owners want to go back to ICE
EVs emit no more EMF than your standard appliances.

The internet is a vast array of misinformation and comments like this without supporting links just contributes to that misinformation.

I will buy a 40-50 dollar emf meter from Amazon and test my washer, dryer, oven, microwave, a blow dryer, the AC unit, and then drive around in my Tesla along with sitting idle and charging it.

When the numbers don’t support the “tons” of radiation will you say I’m part of the coverup?

mogwire··on Podman Desktop 1.2 Released: Compose and Kubernetes Support
Orbstack also uses a virtual machine.

How does it work? Why is it fast?

OrbStack uses a lightweight Linux virtual machine with tightly-integrated, purpose-built services and networking written in a mix of Swift, Go, Rust, and C. See Architecture for more details.

mogwire··on Red Hat and the Clone Wars IV: Knives Out
A god awful analysis at that.

Since this rubbish was published a lot of people, like Jeff Geerling who spread a lot of misinformation, have come out and said they were wrong and RH isn’t violating the GPL per conversations with actual lawyers.

Not people writing a hit piece who refuse to provide hard facts and instead fills it with opinions and calls it facts.

mogwire··on Tell HN: People forget that you can stick any data at the end of a bash script
A very large Electronic Medical Records company shipped an extremely large shell script to us for an install.

Upon examination it contained binary data and a command to extract it to a file and then installed the application.

This was the “efficient” way to ship and install the binary.

mogwire··on Twitter now requires an account to view tweets
How many companies owned by the world’s richest men have had lay offs in the last 18 months?

They became that rich by not losing money. It’s a sinking ship and he is trying to plug the hole.

mogwire··on Google discloses CentOS Linux kernel vulnerabilities citing failure to fix
Additionally these are moderate CVEs and Red Hat, per their lifecycle page, patches them at their will.

During the Full Support Phase, Red Hat defined Critical and Important Security errata advisories (RHSAs) and Urgent and Selected (at Red Hat discretion) High Priority Bug Fix errata advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available. Other errata advisories may be delivered as appropriate.

mogwire··on Google discloses CentOS Linux kernel vulnerabilities citing failure to fix
Red Hat doesn’t fix moderate CVEs immediately. Per there RHEL Lifecycle web page:

“During the Full Support Phase, Red Hat defined Critical and Important Security errata advisories (RHSAs) and Urgent and Selected (at Red Hat discretion) High Priority Bug Fix errata advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available. Other errata advisories may be delivered as appropriate.”

Seeing how all of these CVEs are considered Moderate they fall under the “delivered as appropriate”.

As usual people over react and try to make companies look like they don’t care about security, back ports, etc when all Red Hat is doing is following its own policy.

mogwire··on Podman vs. Docker: Comparing the two containerization tools
This is a common misconception. While podman is indeed installed on Red Hat CoreOS it does not run the containers used by OpenShift. OCP 4 uses CRI-O to run all containers and if you login as the core or root user and run podman ps you wil not see any running containers.
mogwire··on IBM swallows Red Hat storage products
So this is lie?

> https://ubuntu.com/ceph/docs/supported-ceph-versions

> For instance, it is possible to deploy Ceph Quincy on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS via the UCA or on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS via the regular Ubuntu package archive. See Ceph and the UCA for details.

mogwire··on IBM swallows Red Hat storage products
Was it a crack when ACM came over from IBM to Red Hat? Or Hypershift came over from IBM to Red Hat?

You align software to where it works best. IBM is better suited to develop and sell Software Defined Storage than Red Hat.

We miss you already Rob!
mogwire··on Red Hat RHEL 9 release
This is not true at all.

CentOS Streams is the next X-Release of RHEL. I work with RH Partners and we use Streams as a test platform before we move to QE on Beta and RC builds.

This has been refuted by RH many times. You want to be upset they took away CentOS, that is your choice but spreading incorrect information about Streams is simply misleading.

mogwire··on Red Hat RHEL 9 release
#22 and #42 is how they try to prevent people from adding RPMs from mainstream RHEL. I have seen GitHub repos owned by RH employees that have containers files that require you to attach entitlement cert and the Red Hat cdn repo to install additional packages. It doesn’t violate EULA because they aren’t distributing the image.

RH knows people will try to abuse the free UBI image and install RPMs they shouldn’t be.

I work with Red Hat Partners so I know these rules well.
