  • You took a joking jab at red hat and suse a bit too seriously. But let me address at least the red hat portion of it.

    IBM changed took away the Debian equivalent of RedHat: CentOS. They now have CentOS stream which is not what CentOS was – the free and open RHEL byte for byte compatible operating system. Arguably at the time, yes, I would agree with you – they were just selling enterprise services. But that’s not what it is anymore. They took away the stability of CentOS and had everyone migrate to RHEL or away. There were talks at the time that they were violating the linux license at the time. However, it was argued that they weren’t. Because they provide the source code for enterprise license customers, they did not violate the license. HOWEVER, they were cancelling enterprise licenses of people who were taking the source code to make RockyLinux and all the the other distros that came up to replace what CentOS was.

    While yes, you have the freedom to do with the source code as you’d like when you have access to it, IBM is violating the spirit of what that means by throwing access to it behind an enterprise license.



  • It sounds like they are inspecting the oil pan for signs of metal shavings indicative of possible metal loss from engine bearings.

    It should be progressive because if you shave off enough metal, the bearing will completely fail.

    If there are no metal shavings in your oil, then the issue should not progress because it is not present.

    You should replace the bearings if faulty and there is no other damage. Otherwise, you should replace the engine.

    Interestingly, the recall report states that the ECM of the 3L engine will be reprogrammed but the 4L will only have the oil replaced if they are found to be good engines?

    Are they decreasing performance on 3L engines to match the lower than expected performance of the bad bearings so the engine doesn’t fail?










  • Docker: it’s a container used as a sort of sandbox environment for running various tools

    Federated: uses the activitypub protocol

    Self host: Don’t use services in the cloud. Build your own

    Fork: Derived from existing project (or process)

    Container: Sandboxed part of your OS

    Instance: There are multiple definitions but the one probably most relevant to you is a node of a federated network

    Flatpak: No idea. I think this is Ubuntu’s containerized deliverable

    Tailscale: I think this is a reverse proxy?

    Distro: A flavor of Linux

    Wayland: Succesor to X11. Gives you graphics on Linux

    Nginx: Web server software. Alternative to Apache
