#AlmaLinux gives #Btrfs a home after #RedHat kicked it out
While Red Hat deprecated Btrfs from Red Hat Enterprise Linux (#RHEL) in 2017, the technology has found favor elsewhere. It can be found in #SUSE, for example, and was recently an indirect participant in yet another #Linux drama.
AlmaLinux has embraced the technology and has now released the beta of version 10.1. Btrfs is not the default file system, but in the installer if you want it.

My orthodontist friend of mine threw away 150+ perfectly working computers so far because it doesn't support Windows 11. I asked him to give me a few of them before throwing any more away and this is what he has given me so far. I can probably ask for even more if I wanted to.

All of them are perfectly working and runs the latest #Fedora / #Kubuntu / #AlmaLinux just fine. It is crazy the amount of e-waste is being created by Microsoft.

Ok since I'm already half doing it ANYWAY I pose this question:

Should I take over ulogd package maintainer in fedora and possibly epel?

If it's just me and my epel-missing-pieces copr repos because I'm the only one using it basically, I'm content.

If there's anyone else that wants / needs it (and lets be fair if you are using it you are probably doing your own firewalling and not mucking with firewalld, etc. Side note: man do I not like firewalld) I'll go and poke at picking it back up.

Anyone got opinions?

I just had one of the most perplexing problems that I had ever seen with #firewalld on #AlmaLinux. It took me a while to reach that conclusion. Here is how it began: I have a WireGuard tunnel between a VPS and my home server. The VPS basically gives me a static public IP address.

To make a long story short, I could not figure out why pings and ssh attempts from the VPS to my home server failed yet all the other services were working just fine…..yeah, real head scratcher. Finally, I turned off both firewalls and pings were working from both machines. Mkay!? Then I turned on the firewall on the side of the WieGuard in my home and did a ping from the VPS side and it worked. Ah ha! The problem seemed to be the firewall on the VPS side.

But it was strange that the firewall was strangely blocking outgoing SSH and outgoing ICMP over the WireGuard tunnel only. Eventually, I gave up. I just turned off firewalls, nukes its confit files, and started over. Problem solved !

Benefits:
Working ssh
Working ping

AlmaLinux 10.1: CRB preattivato semplifica l’uso di EPEL

https://gomoot.com/almalinux-10-1-crb-preattivato-semplifica-luso-di-epel/

AlmaLinux 10 enables the CRB repo by default, cutting dependency errors and smoothing EPEL installs ahead of the AlmaLinux 10.1 release.

Good news for everyone working with #LXC and #Incus containers: Rocky and Alma Linux 10 container are now available!

The official image server of the #linuxcontainers project added version 10 of #rockylinux and #almalinux at the end of August.

Amazing that the Apache CloudStack tutorial requires an OS 2 major revisions behind (Alma 8 v 10) and a JDK 4 major revisions behind (17 v 21).

Rising from the Ashes: How #AlmaLinux and #RockyLinux Redefined the Post-#CentOS Landscape
For over a decade, CentOS was the backbone of countless servers.
That stability came to an end when #Red Hatpivoted CentOS to a rolling-release model, #CentOSStream. Instead of offering a downstream, binary-compatible version of #RHEL.
This disruption created a vacuum, and the #Linux community quickly stepped up to fill it, and so were born AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux!
