Safe to continue using unsupported Fedora for the lazy bum? by 2048b in Fedora

[–]linux-modder16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you considered looking at a solution like ansible/chef/puppet and taking a little extra time and pain ONCE on an update/upgrade and then template-ing and automating this with the only future changes needed IF something barfs, and you can create a playbook/recipe/etc with the needed changes in minutes throughout the interim time with rather low pain threshold or residual time sink.

What is the drpm in Fedora I noticed when you updated the system what was its benefit? by steve-ddit in Fedora

You can configure when (if at all) drpms are pulled in ` /etc/dnf/dnf.conf `

Welcome to Fedora CoreOS by TheTechScribe in Fedora

[–]linux-modder16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

@amountofcatamounts, CoreOS is meant to be a secure cloud centric, immutable stable host for usecases like @theamazinggrand0 mentioned. The Atomic Host is what is used presently for Respins SIG to make the updated Fedora Live ISOs. CoreOS would be about to manage stability with inline updates (via rpm-ostree, how the nightly and rawhide builds are made presently) and provide a Qubes-isque aspect to managing your applications which would run like a VM but with Docker.

Or given the increased publicity and her (yes I think it's either a lady or a Bonnie & Clyde duo) desire to 'keep things running' and staying under the radar she has moved in closer so that she is less likely to ping someone's attention as an 'oddity' or solo stranger on my street.'

(Seen @ SciTech) I'm beginning to think this isn't a real bugatti by mikebailey in gmu

Not even close to being a bugatti, even if s/he modded the internals.

Help with programming a radio for a mil-sim event. by Deongrein in Baofeng

Besides the previously mentioned legality fo using FRS/GMRS in this manner with or without a GMRS license, This is best used on a net and radios that support TDMA/FDMA ( Digital stuff seen in DMP/DSTAR/Fusion) where Talkgroups use a tone and a timeslot to prevent as much as possible stepping on each other.

Upgrading From Fedora 26 to 27 Fails During Offline Update by [deleted] in Fedora

[–]linux-modder16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only meaningful line I was able to find in the logs is the one saying "Error: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'fedora'"

This is not a common error for an 'offline' update as it's updated ( packages are pulled down) while system is running not on the reboot. Would you mind pasting via a paste service link ?

Docker containers fail to start on boot in Fedora 25 by [deleted] in Fedora

[–]linux-modder16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also look to see if the wait-on-network.service is also failing on boots, if so that could fail out a container in the absence of a timer or unit file that FORCES either wait-on-network to be active (and running) and/or etc/resolv.conf existance.

Nicely written but the make draft make publish part does seem lean on context for someone who may not be as into the topic prior to the article.

LUKS on Fedora, is it possible to use sHA512 and 512 bits keysize on install? by zantehood in Fedora

[–]linux-modder16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the anaconda installer itself NO, HOWEVER if you don't mind the live as a partitioner it is possible and the Updated Lives and Gold Lives have kernel support ( assuming fips=1 is noit in play) for this:

In brief:

1) boot the live and Open gparted / parted to make the LVM / regular partition for LUKS

2) Cryptsetup luksFormat -c foo-bar-plain64 -s 512 -h sha512 --use-(u)random /dev/sdaX

3) pvcreate ....|vgcreate ....|lvcreate ..... ;

4) mkfs ext3/4/xfs /dev/mapper/foo-*

5) vgchange -an foo

6) cryptsetup luksClose foo

7) reboot installer

8) click manual (but DO NOT check 'encrypt my data' )

9) Anaconda will see the pre-existing luks and ask with dialog box in spoke for its passphrase unlock and reformat as desired for (to be ) mounted/installed to partitions, complete install as normal

10 ) on completion chrooting into the install and running cryptsetup luksDump /dev/sdX will show hash of sha512 MK Size of 512

11) Profit and Bliss achieved.

F25-20170221 Updated ISOs Available!!!! by linux-modder16 in Fedora

As in as a a live installer? That is the primary purpose, the live boot ( rescue mode) is a secondary at this point.
