And another Server migrated over from Hetzner to @netcup . Again, absolutely flawless and working great :-)

Services now migrated to Netcup:
- Uptime-Kuma
- BIND (secondary authoritative DNS for my zones)
- Forgejo (Git forge)
- Personal Website
- Librespeed (Speed-Test Node)
- Bsky PDS (Personal-Data-Server for BlueSky)
- Atuin (Shell-History Sync server)
- Anubis (Anti AI Crawler protection)
- Authentik (SAML/OIDC SSO Server)
- Wallos (Subscription tracker)
- stepCA (x.509 PKI CA)

Running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 (aarch64) with Podman and behind a traefik reverse-proxy. All containers managed via Systemd and quadlet files (/etc/containers/systemd/*.container)

Services remaining on Hetzner:
- OpenShift lab
- Mastodon burningboard.net
- Ansible RHCE Lab/Learn environment
- freeIPA/IdM Server and Red Hat Satellite

Step by step getting my (vast) infrastructure sorted and onto energy-efficient ARM servers at Netcup :)

Me: (Opens support case with #RedHat)
Me: (Includes
detailed steps on how to reproduce the issue)
RedHat CSR: "Oh. That's not a problem. That's just an error in one of the tools' outputs. Do to see for yourself"
Me: "Sorry. No. Been through that. Also, I provided steps
to you to reproduce the issue. It's pretty freaking obvious that you ignored those steps before sending your useless reply."

@roman78 @doctator @ubuntu shure, but it's a pain in the ass to setup, and you need like big ass Windows Server and stuff to make it actually work incl. applications.

  • And since Windows doesn't have proper user permissions managment and almost all applications assume they get admin rights, that's bricking peoples' workflows.

And even if one is.willing to go through all those hoops, #licensing is way worse, more expensive, less flexible and overall painful compared to the straight pricings of #Canonical, #SUSE and even #RedHat...

I give up, #RedHat: if you don't want people opening up tickets in your Jira, why is directly opening a ticket there even an option for "randos"???

Jesus Fuck: Red Hat has gone to shit as IBM has sunk their hooks deeper and deeper into them.

Things were so much easier back in the days when you just opened a case through BugZilla.

@gpowerf @artfulrobot but isn't project's region of origin only concern if you want to financially support given project? Off top of my head I can't recall anything that would be US specific change in #fedora and #gnome desktop developement. I guess something something #redhat or #ibm but I feel like that is a streach, but if you are still concerned, just prepare some transfer plans into diffrent distros if stuff were to blow up.

Also wasn't #suselinux was from #germany

@ormand.bsky.social We've been all #Linux since #Ubuntu 6.06, and always on #computers schools I worked at were ditching. Essentially free computing here since 2006...

I loved the "#GendBuntu" rollout. The article says #RedHat appears to be a choice for Europe. Strange, as anything American-based would seem to have similar privacy and data security concerns. They make a good case for the France-based #Mint (which I use too!).

Have you tried winehq.org/

@katyswain I din't think that #CCSS is good either, but the demands of #GPLv3 are not compatible with the (adnitteldy shitty) reality of how #IP, #Licensing and #Patents work and thus it kneecaps a lot of things.

I chose #0BSD for _OS/1337 because as with any "intellectual labour", one cannot force others to collaborate and I'd rather have people join in out of the goodness of their hearts instead of just dumping some random git commit that is useless.

The Best Boring #Benchmarks: #RockyLinux10 & #AlmaLinux10 Performance Against #RHEL10 Review
Testing on an AMD EPYC 9755 2P (EPYC Turin) server and using the same hardware across all tests, the performance of #RockyLinux 10 and #AlmaLinux 10 were right on-par with #RedHat #EnterpriseLinux 10 itself. Hence the best kind of boring benchmarks when the performance is right on track for where it should be.
