That's amazing that they would consider auto-generated responses to be appropriate in something which is supposed to be reference documentation. We are a good way from that type of querying and explanation being reliable.

I really enjoyed The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. It got panned by the critics and didn't do well at the box office, but seems to be being more accepted recently.

Yes, have been seeing this too. Only spotted it when I tried to upvote.

I'm in the same position but I'm trying to post some content to try to induce some.people.to participate. I'm going to give it a few months where it can be my personal link farm and I'll rethink after that if it gains no traction.

Regardless of the merits of their respective cases she was very much a victim of a poor choice of legal representation. The contrast in the degree of preparedness and competency between their legal team couldn't have been clearer. The future careers of way more than Amber and Jonny were determined during that trial.

The best compromise for neutrality and efficiency is to keep gender neutral stalls but also retain an area with urinals which will be much quicker for large numbers of men to pass through then using stalls, and also saves water.

The other consideration would be that the stalls will need to be sufficiently screened that people in them don't feel overlooked or vulnerable (I'm looking at you USA with your weird gappy stall building!).

In case you missed it, Red Hat announced they will no longer be providing the means for downstream clones to continue to be 1:1 binary copies of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Very quickly, both Jack and I shared some initial thoughts, but we intentionally took our time deciding the next right step for AlmaLinux OS. After much discussion, the AlmaLinux OS Foundation board today has decided to drop the aim to be 1:1 with RHEL. AlmaLinux OS will instead aim to be Application Binary Interface (ABI) compatible

The new license terms for RHEL are structured to stop subscribers from exercising their rights under the GPL. For now they are still providing source code albeit in a less convenient form, but technically they only need to do this for GPL licenses packages and they could remove code for BSD /MIT / Apache licensed packages.

Do these developments make you more.inclined to distribute your software under a copyleft license or are you happy with something more open?

[-] xylan@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I'm still in two minds about this. We have a lot of infrastructure build on RHEL rebuilds and there's no way we're buying enough RHEL licenses to cover it.

I can look at Devian based alternatives but switching is going to be a time consuming process. If Alma and Rocky get this figured out then I'm still tempted to stick where I am. These distributions have been very stable, and I don't need support for them. Even if RedHat don't like this I'm fine with doing it on the basis that they have an obligation to release the source (at least for GPL code).

Maybe it's different on Lemmy, but signing up to the fediverse via kbin couldn't have been easier. Pretty much the same as signing up for any other web site and the federated servers just show up automatically in the search. Once you're subscribed local and federated communities look pretty much identical.

2 weeks? Something has gone horribly wrong. They either don't have backups or they're corrupt and they're trying data recovery. After this long it seems pretty unlikely they're ever coming back.

[-] xylan@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

This is the bottom line. People will go where the content is. A concerted push to populate the fediverse with good content will give people and incentive to migrate. It will be a gradual process but I'm very confident in building a community here.

I've been running an HPC system for a science group for a while now and have built a couple of different systems based on common HPC infrastructures (ROCKS or Open HPC). These have been built on top of the rebuilt RHEL distros (mostly CentOS), but I don't really need the level of stability that these provide and would actually like the sort of updates that you get from something like CentOS stream, so this seems like a time to try this.

The problem is that I haven't found an HPC framework which would natively support this so I'm potentially going to have to roll my own. I don't need anything fancy just some way to automatically deploy nodes and set up slurm to get jobs queued.

Any pointers to suitable frameworks or tools which would help with this and which aren't tied to older distros?

[-] xylan@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

It looks like the downstream rebuilders are already working on this and are able to extract (with a bit more work) the information they need from the stream repo. How much Redhat tries to block these approaches remains to be seen, but if they can work around this so quickly then it seems a pretty petty stunt to pull.
