If you have some #Fedora #CoreOS `testing` stream nodes check them to see if they have stuck updates. More info and workaround steps in https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/coreos@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/ZMWF2EBO5ZBJE53MJFD75YID7XTNEGMB/

#PSA for #CentOS #CentOS_Stream users - if you need fixed #OpenSSL builds immediately you can use the #CentOS_ProposedUpdates builds (not available for i686 due to Community Build Service limitations)

Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects’ laptops: reports The FBI served Microsoft a warrant requesting encryption recovery keys to decrypt the hard drives of people involved in an alleged fraud case in Guam.

Turns out that Microsoft's BitLocker security for the data stored on your hard drive is just a placebo.

Might as well give your password to everyone:

The flood of #enshittification that #Broadcom unleashed upon #VMware and its customers after acquiring it, and its seismic waves in the whole IT supply chain, are a testament of how bad managers who seek for short-term revenue hikes without thinking of the long term are a cancer for the tech […]

Major learning curve to use #fedora #coreos is how to create ignition file. #FCOS installation use that for installation configuration. There's no menu or wizard like other #linux distros.

Why? Because one of major goal of #FCOS is to enable easy mass deployment of similar configuration.

@sri @mixpost commence engagement!

Is it cool that Linus Torvalds uses Fedora Linux? Yes!

But the really cool thing is to use the Linux distro that works best for you. :)

Having Linux get covered on LTT is such a big win for the open source community as more techies realize there is another way!

If you have automatic enabled on Fedora CoreOS (the default) then you're `stable` stream nodes will be automatically updated to @fedora 43 based content this week!

Fedora CoreOS rebasing to Fedora Linux 43 Fedora Linux 43 was released today [1]. The Fedora CoreOS testing stream has been rebased and is currently rolling out. This update will come to the stable stream in a few weeks. As of Fedora 43 updates are now built via a container workflow [2] and exclusively shipped via the quay.io/fedora/fedora-coreos container registry. This means updates no longer exist in the OSTree repo at https://ostree.fedoraproject.org [3]. For other Fedora 43 related changes you can see the full list of Fedora ...

Happy @fedora Release Day Everyone!

It's always satisfying when you see the tools you helped design working like they are supposed to. For the F43 CoreOS test week this week I dusted off my Raspberry Pi 4 and let autoupdates happen. It fully updated to the latest version even though there were many changes in between with how we […]

Today after some wrangling I got the community-developed Arch build for the @pine64 PineNote working. It was not easy for the likes of me, but with the help of other community members on @matrix I got it, and it is a huge improvement.

Yes, I could have bought a just-works e-ink tablet, but this […]

For anyone out there with RISCV hardware I updated the RISCV CoreOS images at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/RISC-V/CoreOS with the latest Fedora RPM packages available.

PoC: Leveraging Butane during Ignition boot Converting Butane to Ignition on Boot We’ve received anecdotal evidence over the years that the transpilation step where you must convert a Butane YAML configuration into Ignition JSON before staring your CoreOS instance is a pain for users to understand and implement. CoreOS developers also feel this pain at times. What if you could feed either a Butane YAML config or an Ignition JSON config to your instance and it would just do the right thing regardless?

Should we enhance @fedora #coreos / Ignition to be able to pass in Butane configs directly? Check out this demo and add some feedback here or in the tracker issue.

South Carolina raised a confederate flag over its state house in the 1960s to show contempt for desegregation and Black Americans pursuing civil rights.

Four decades later they moved it to a flagpole at a monument to men who died fighting to preserve chattel slavery.

1.5 hours for a rawhide compose... not bad. The new hardware in the new datacenter is pretty zippy.

@nirik thank you for getting the #coreos ppc builder back online!

@nirik I’ll have to look into that problem. Definitely had a few go out on me
