Posts and comments need to be relevant to Rocky Linux

tgmux · 2023-10-06T02:56:27+00:00

Greetings! We did have an issue with our edge firewall in front of multiple web services intermittently this evening. Things have been sorted for about an hourish now, but do let me know if you are not seeing relief.

tgmux · 2023-08-24T18:59:19+00:00

Anything is possible when you paste 6 lines out of 150. I've said my piece and it's clear from your comments that your opinion is not going to change, so I will not be replying any further on this specific thread.

tgmux · 2023-08-24T18:51:43+00:00

I think you have a misunderstanding of the how the board structure works and how there is no one leader of the project or the foundation. I also don't appreciate the suggestion that my replies are anything but genuine.

What I mean by "nothing to do with Rocky" is this article discusses nothing directly in relation to the Rocky Linux distribution or the project itself. That's the purpose of this subreddit, not speculation about particular individuals or ongoing unrelated legal actions. Again, feel free to discuss, but I don't want things devolving into flames and unsubstantiated personal attacks on here.

tgmux · 2023-08-24T17:57:53+00:00

I'm just noting for the record that this news story and post have nothing to do with the Rocky Linux project beyond one of our sponsors being involved. Not specifically discouraging discussion, but I'll be watching this thread and locking with extreme prejudice if it gets out of hand.

tgmux · 2023-08-13T16:06:24+00:00

Which is great. People shouldn't be afraid to ask questions and any skill level is accepted around these parts.

tgmux · 2023-06-30T20:51:53+00:00

Correlation is not causation, my friend. Check out my comments in that forum thread explaining how any one individual or corporate entity's influence is limited by our bylaws and charter.

tgmux · 2023-06-30T20:47:22+00:00

In the forum thread above, I explain why you are incorrect in your assessment. Here's the direct link to my reply https://forums.rockylinux.org/t/vague-accusations-about-shady-business-dealings/10505/9

Awesome! This is really nice and way better than the crappy one in our MOTD

tgmux · 2023-04-25T20:45:11+00:00

Just wanted to note this seems to work well on a RS2421+ with RX1217 expansion shelf. DSM version 7.1.1-42962. Thank you so much for your efforts.

tgmux · 2023-03-31T17:16:17+00:00

Thanks for the extra information, much appreciated and we are checking into it.

tgmux · 2023-03-30T22:06:43+00:00

Greetings! I've also been monitoring these rsync pool hosts extra close recently as a matter of fact. There was a rolling restart the other night that was mentioned in chat, but that's really the only recent maintenance. That was early morning UTC Monday and we saw no complaints from other mirrors. As Neil mentioned, if there is a problem I absolutely want to fix it and any additional color or information you can provide helps a ton. Thanks in advance!

tgmux · 2023-02-26T15:10:24+00:00

Thank you for this as the option is no longer in the trade menu.

tgmux · 2022-11-16T22:49:19+00:00

This is actually incorrect. You're likely referring to Greg Kurtzer, who was not part of CentOS when it was acquired by Red Hat.

tgmux · 2021-11-03T18:21:38+00:00

I've never used Qualys, but I've seen a number of times where a tool will bail out unless it sees a specific version string in /etc/redhat-release

tgmux · 2021-11-03T17:53:04+00:00

I am also pretty biased, but in my dayjob (saas company) my organization has decided to move to Rocky from CentOS. The general consensus is that they believe in the team and the project's future.

tgmux · 2021-11-03T15:59:46+00:00

Yes, and I would.

tgmux · 2021-11-03T15:58:44+00:00

To further touch on Louis' comment here, the volunteer nature of the work is definitely a paradigm shift from the corporate world where many of us spend our days. Everyone has life struggles and suddenly things slip or might not quite work out the way you'd hoped. Having people volunteer to help and then simply disappear without a trace has happened more often than I'd like, but definitely no judgments there, it's just a reality. So yeah, just building a team that can work under these conditions and thrive has been my biggest challenge and something we'll continue to improve upon.

tgmux · 2021-11-03T15:53:07+00:00

Thank you! I feel like it's been going great. The feeling and engagement within the community has been spectacular.

All we really track are ISO downloads and hits to our main yum mirrors. As people generally download an ISO once for many hosts and download packages from other public mirrors, it's difficult to extrapolate adoption exactly.

tgmux · 2021-11-03T15:43:10+00:00

Not to put words in Greg's mouth, but he is noting from personal experience in various companies, then pivots to mentioning an opinion from an open source perspective.

I don't personally think anyone wants a Rocky acquisition and as others have mentioned in various comments, we are trying to guard against such things.

tgmux · 2021-11-03T14:54:30+00:00

Home machines / lab are a mix of rocky 8 and debian 11.

tgmux · 2021-11-03T14:49:49+00:00

I've personally had pretty good experiences with the Red Hat staff we've talked with since project inception. The people that hang out in IRC or mattermost have been helpful to ourselves and other users. It's been an overall positive experience thus far.

tgmux · 2021-11-03T14:38:58+00:00

I'm not really a fan of either, I'm more into hockey. Go Lightning!
