Excellent news! Lua is a game changer for SilverBullet going forward, and I'm more excited than ever for my favorite notes tool :D

I suggest you try and measure yourself using that big stick you're holding up to other people.

As one of the founders of the project, I don't think I'll distance myself from myself.

Re:Rocky Linux 10 Will Support RISC-V on Thursday May 22, 2025 @10:35AM (#44062499)
We've been building the RISC-V port from a combination of Fedora and CentOS Stream sources--the same as the core operating system--since early 2024.

A lot of RISC-V support was already in F40 (which EL10 is cut from), so the rest was largely backporting and integrating into RHEL, which again, we've been tracking since CentOS Stream 10 was branched from Fedora last year.

Re:Rocky Linux 10 Will Support RISC-V on Thursday May 22, 2025 @10:32AM (#44062455)
Exactly! The AltArch SIG is exactly where those customization will come from, driven by community support.
Re:Rocky Linux 10 Will Support RISC-V on Thursday May 22, 2025 @10:31AM (#44062446)
Yep, should work fine, just not stepping across the upstream (Fedora) support at the moment.
Re:Rocky Linux 10 Will Support RISC-V on Thursday May 22, 2025 @10:30AM (#44062439)
We've actually been working with Fedora and RH on RISC-V for over a year now :)

Imagine thinking your version of events is always 100% true because someone told it to you.

At least acknowledge you're biased, bro.

And like, have a good weekend. Or whatever. I don't actually give a fuck.

Oh, honey.
Re:Rocky Linux from CIQ – Hardened on Friday March 21, 2025 @10:39PM (#43442797)
Well that's certainly _one_ way to tell the story, now isn't it, Jonathan.
Re:Rocky Linux from CIQ – Hardened on Friday March 21, 2025 @10:38PM (#43442793)
I'm curious -- what issues are your counterparts experiencing?
Re:Rocky Linux, Reflections on Three Years of Growth on Wednesday February 07, 2024 @07:05AM (#39287522)
We do love collaborating with our upstreams--I myself recruit folks into Fedora and CentOS whenever I can, in addition to Rocky.

It's more than words and sponsorship--I really do mean it when I say I want to empower the Enterprise Linux community, and I'm thrilled that Rocky is at a point where we're able to do so.

Re:CIQ, Oracle, SUSE Create Open Enterprise Linux Association on Thursday August 10, 2023 @05:24PM (#37081984)
CIQ is a sponsor of Rocky (and my employer, to be transparent) - but they do not have a say over what Rocky does.
Re:CIQ, Oracle, SUSE Create Open Enterprise Linux Association on Thursday August 10, 2023 @05:23PM (#37081978)
We (RESF/Rocky) are _not_ CIQ, and do not take direction from CIQ.

End of story.

Re:CIQ, Oracle, SUSE Create Open Enterprise Linux Association on Thursday August 10, 2023 @01:37PM (#37079178)
It's incredibly difficult (read: impossible) for this type of organization to be a true 501(c)3.

Yes, I am aware of Carl and his biases.

TIL Nothing I write is useful.
Re:Keeping Open Source Open on Friday June 30, 2023 @09:46AM (#36534814)
Except, we are?
Re:Keeping Open Source Open on Thursday June 29, 2023 @08:56PM (#36529108)
Yeah, that's not what any of us are saying.

We already _do_ a lot of work. This is _more_ work.

The Rocky Linux team does _NOT_ sell support.
I'm not sure what the order in which we write our jokes has to do with anything.

I'll work on my comedic timing, I guess.

Personally, I regularly contribute to Fedora and EPEL, as well as Stream (and RHEL). In addition, I am a Core Reviewer for OpenStack-Ansible and am part of the OpenInfra community.

Author of that pad here: For the record, someone changed their color to something similar to mine and added the 'Infiltrate RH' line which has been since removed.

But thank you for appreciating my humor lol

Re:NASA secures contract with Rocky Enterprise Linux on Wednesday June 21, 2023 @10:23PM (#36427309)
regardless of the status of the bugzilla. That _is_ a bug and a regression in RHEL 9.2.
Re:NASA secures contract with Rocky Enterprise Linux on Wednesday June 21, 2023 @06:10PM (#36425376)
We do all the time.

Codeberg can host them, I suspect.. I know Docker (Had) a FOSS program at one point, too.

Running your own gitea/forgejo is an option, as they can host packages as well
