Re:June 30th, 2024, will bring the End of Life (EOL) of CentOS Linux on Friday January 05, 2024 @11:49AM (#38881193)

It's interesting to see the different strategies people are adopting. I recently came across TuxCare's Extended Support for CentOS 7, an interesting stopgap for those not ready for an immediate RHEL shift.

Somewhat surprisingly, it's also pretty affordable. It's one of the few options like this I've seen, though I'm curious if there are others that are around this same price.

Are we going to see more casino-related cyber attacks? These are some tough (costly) lessons to learn. Good insight here.
