"With #SELinux technology it’s possible confine not only system process (as it’s by default used in Fedora, #CentOS and #RedHat Enterprise Linux) but also linux users.

#ibm has made a mess of #centos and it is NOT going to help #redhat or #rhel - QUITE THE CONTRARY http://smoogespace.blogspot.com/2021/09/how-to-clone-lot-of-package-spec-files.html

I think #ibm starts realising (way too late!) that killing off #centos is very bad for #redhat https://www.itsfoss.net/red-hat-will-officially-support-epel-in-the-future/

Red Hat will officially support EPEL in the future - itsfoss.net

As CentOS blog can be seen in the , Red Hat officially wants to upgrade the EPEL repository, which has been maintained since 2007, with a small team of full-time supervisors. The community-based special interest group EPEL SIG is not to be...

#ibm realises that what it did to #centos drove away most/all #redhat volunteers in #fedora ? https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Red-Hat-More-EPEL

Planet #fedora is sooooo quiet. Nobody from within that 'community' (just #redhat staff) will dare say that but #ibm actions have already pretty much scuttled it... #centos decisions said all that needed to be said. Without words...

We need a #jolla of #redhat ... a lifeboat for important projects from #fedora and some of the #centos folks. Not the vendor lock-in parts... #ibm paid for loads of #swpats and lock-in.

Hey, #ibm #redhat , how can I do this with #centos ;-p ? https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/how-update-red-hat-enterprise-linux-tvia-minor-releases-and-extended-update-support

The state of #fedora after #ibm took the mask off, e.g. abolishing #centos https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/fridays-fedora-facts-2021-32/

Seems like there is something screwy with #galera and #mariadb on #centos 7. It works great on #ubuntu.

Maybe something in the name resolution stack? It just won't keep 3 nodes in a cluster. so weird.
