I do really like the possibility to work flexibly from remote, when I’m not onsite at my customers. But I’m also very grateful, that we also have (excellent) offices.

Personal exchange, little chats in the coffee kitchen and meeting people in person is invaluable and a big part of our culture.

#HashiCorp speaks up about adjusting to life under #IBM
Freshly acquired cloud darling talks mainframes, Ansible, and influencing Big Blue at HashiDays event
"It's almost hard to describe IBM as one culture," said Dadgar during a later briefing. "Because things like #RedHat are so different. So I'd say Red Hat is much closer to us in terms of [having] #opensource in their DNA. They are very community-oriented.

And another Server migrated over from Hetzner to @netcup . Again, absolutely flawless and working great :-)

Services now migrated to Netcup:
- Uptime-Kuma
- BIND (secondary authoritative DNS for my zones)
- Forgejo (Git forge)
- Personal Website
- Librespeed (Speed-Test Node)
- Bsky PDS (Personal-Data-Server for BlueSky)
- Atuin (Shell-History Sync server)
- Anubis (Anti AI Crawler protection)
- Authentik (SAML/OIDC SSO Server)
- Wallos (Subscription tracker)
- stepCA (x.509 PKI CA)

Running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 (aarch64) with Podman and behind a traefik reverse-proxy. All containers managed via Systemd and quadlet files (/etc/containers/systemd/*.container)

Services remaining on Hetzner:
- OpenShift lab
- Mastodon burningboard.net
- Ansible RHCE Lab/Learn environment
- freeIPA/IdM Server and Red Hat Satellite

Step by step getting my (vast) infrastructure sorted and onto energy-efficient ARM servers at Netcup :)

@roman78 @doctator @ubuntu shure, but it's a pain in the ass to setup, and you need like big ass Windows Server and stuff to make it actually work incl. applications.

  • And since Windows doesn't have proper user permissions managment and almost all applications assume they get admin rights, that's bricking peoples' workflows.

And even if one is.willing to go through all those hoops, #licensing is way worse, more expensive, less flexible and overall painful compared to the straight pricings of #Canonical, #SUSE and even #RedHat...

""The latest alpha of the upcoming #Blender 5.0 release comes with High Dynamic Range (HDR) support for #Linux on #Wayland […]

It’s been a lot of personal blood, sweat and tears, paid for by #RedHat across the Linux graphics stack for the last few years to enable applications like Blender to add #HDR support. From #kernel work, like helping to get the HDR mode working on Intel laptops, and improving the Colorspace and HDR_OUTPUT_METADATA KMS properties, to creating a new library for EDID and DisplayID parsing, and helping with wiring things up in #vulkan.

I designed the active color management paradigm for Wayland compositors, figured out how to properly support HDR, created two wayland protocols to let clients and compositors communicate the necessary information for active color management, and created documentation around all things color in FOSS graphics. This would have also been impossible without @pq from Collabora and all the other people I can’t possibly list exhaustively. […] ""

Ah, yes, another rejection email from Red Hat. I've now lost count as to how many this is. Why do I keep doing this to myself? I mean, seriously? I have 30+ years of Linux and Unix experience and can't even get them to look at me for a Technical Support role.

I'm done, Red Hat. You win. No, I'm not going to keep you in mind for future roles as my stress level from being unemployed for so long is now off the charts and I really can't handle yet another rejection from a company that I have looked up to since the beginning and have been wanting to work for since day one.

The latest rejection email:

"Thank you again for taking the time to apply to the Technical Support Engineer role at Red Hat.

We wanted to let you know that we have decided to move forward with other candidates for the role.

We understand that this news might be disappointing and we value the time you have spent on this. While the opportunity was not a match this time, we hope you'll continue to keep Red Hat in mind for future opportunities."
