#ibm is still bruised by what it did to #redhat and #rhel ... when it decided to kill off #centos and merely sent people away from RHEL base https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/expanding-red-hat-enterprise-linux-choices-research-and-academia

Odroid H2+
Hatte ja vor einem halben Jahr schon mal eine #Hardware - Empfehlung für einen #HomeServer gegeben: #Odroid #H2+ von #HardKernel
Stabil, grundsolide, stromsparend, ausreichend flink, schnuckelig
Einziger Nachteil war damals, das für die beiden 2,5GiB Netzwerkports noch kein Treiber im #Linux-Kernel enthalten war, so dass man erst ein Module bauen musste, bevor man Netz bekam.
Die gute Nachricht: Das ist nun vorbei. Zumindest unter #CentOS läuft das Netzwerk nun out-of-the-box. Keine Klimmzüge mehr!

Major #Linux #RPM #problem uncovered
Source: https://www.zdnet.com/article/major-linux-rpm-problem-uncovered/
Why? Because RPM had never properly checked revoked certificate key handling. Specifically, as Linux and lead RPM developer Panu Matilainen explained: "Revocation is one of the many unimplemented things in rpm's #OpenPGP support. In other words, you're not seeing a bug as such; it's just not implemented at all, much like expiration is not."
This is a bad #security #vulnerability but with open source you have the chance to find it and better late than never. You can't say this often enough: "Open source can increase your security but someone with experience has to do a #codereview. If no one checked the code then everything is possible :(

Migrer de CentOS 8 à Rocky Linux 8

Let's discuss the CentOS change
I have used Debian and Ubuntu for most of my Linux based projects but a few of them do use CentOS, like FreePBX, and there are a few projects I will be working on soon that have historically relied on CentOS.
One of the big draws to CentOS was the longevity of a release, one of the reasons I like Debian and Ubuntu LTS releases. This stability looks to be done away with by the change to CentOS Stream, which looks to be a way to try and push more users to RHEL.
Now we are in a grey area as CentOS 8 will be EOL by the end of 2021 but CentOS 7 will continue to be supported until 2024.
This leaves me curious about what others are thinking/planning when starting new projects this year that would have used CentOS:
* Will you install CentOS 7 and run on that until a viable fork comes to life
* Would this be your time to choose a different distribution altogether
* Is there an argument for running on CentOS 8 and planning to migrate once the updates stop
Don't leave this to my bullet points. If you have more input I think this would be a great platform for this discussion.
CentOS is dead, long live CentOS Stream
Red Hat has announced an end to the CentOS distribution as we know it. CentOS will be replaced by "CentOS Stream", which looks like a sort of beta test for changes going into Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Support for CentOS 7 will continue as scheduled, but support for CentOS 8 will go away at the end of 2021. "When CentOS Linux 8 (the rebuild of RHEL8) ends, your best option will be to migrate to CentOS Stream 8, which is a small delta from CentOS Linux 8, and has regular updates like traditional CentOS Linux releases. If you are using CentOS Linux 8 in a production environment, and are concerned that CentOS Stream will not meet your needs, we encourage you to contact Red Hat about options."
More information can be found in this FAQ. "CentOS Stream will be getting fixes and features ahead of RHEL. Generally speaking, we expect CentOS Stream to have fewer bugs and more runtime features than RHEL until those packages make it into the RHEL release."
