  • I feel sorry for those small, understaffed, enterprises that had to scramble to get off CentOS 8, and may now be in the same situation with Alma/Rocky 8. IBM/Redhat have really fucked over potential customers. What a great advert to ensure no-one buys your product.

    If IBM actually cared, they could have still gone down this route. But they could have let CentOS 8 run it’s initial, promised, support cycle, then switch exclusively to CentOS stream. And continue to provide the source for the entire run of RHEL 9.











  • I wonder how long it’ll be before they scrape the bottom of the barrel and send that message to me for closing the r/dfshow sub. The sub is a support community for my DF-SHOW Unix (and Unixlike) terminal file manager. I was planning on unveiling the sub as part of the 0.10 release of the project, however, the API drama kicked off before then.

    If they do decide to forcefully reopen the sub by kicking the only moderator, who is the sole developer of the project and currently the only subscriber to the sub, then we’ll know they’re desperate!
