When is an Oracle ERP deploy ever not a disaster?

Why are car markers so far behind? It's 2025 and they just woke up know on ad revenues? The CPM on this must be dreadful, it should be dead on arrival

ah man, now I need to go and apologise to my brother, he told me this when were like 8 or 7, I laughed at him. Damn science!

I know Lennart is a smart dude and will defend what he is doing, but the one thing Unix was good at, was single purpose tools. I feel systemd is gathering scope and making a monolith of sorts. Like others have said, the attack surface is getting bigger. His time at Red Hat enabled the penetration of systemd and therefore the scope creep. Doesn't help that distro's model a lot of what Red Hat does. Red Hat has this issue. It's a great OS, with a lot of gravity and dominance, but it seems the Red Hat specific changes becomes OSS community changes very quickly/easily(?), and it's not limited to just Linux. Ceph is now podman (precursor to openshift) first for example. How does the OSS community manage the impact of a commercial interest? I am not sure systemd made Linux "better" but it suited Red Hat and now we get to live with it.

They did this in Australia, Canada and now Cali? Time for them to be broken up.

Didn't Germany do this in the 2000's and then move back to Windows?

Red Hat is going to Red Hat. While people will suggest different, I do feel that RH has fared poorly under IBM. Not sure. RHEL is a wonderful OS, an amazing base. Perhaps the answer here is a "RHEL Core" a bare min OS that the "freeloaders" (as RH likes to call them) can use, but there is little overall engineering cost to RH. RH layers on their more complex tools chains, environments etc. Ubuntu is a decent alternative. However, some tools that are non-OSS, don't work on Ubuntu. A RHEL-Core clone, could be a good middle ground. Plus "snap" are awful. RH needs to do their business, but they also created this ecosystem. Maybe I am just old and grumpy now days.

Some of the reasons for change are hard, like when you have 2 Canadian Provences and 1 US state locked in a power grid that would require all 3 to agree to a change. I live in Ontario, my hope that Quebec would be agreeable is slim, usually Quebec takes the opposite stance to Ontario, cuz why not.. Never mind trying to get a US state to join in on the change. Why would the US have to care about when a Canadian sees the morning sun? The legacy of technical debt in the power grid will be more of an issue for the East Coast, that some partisan point of view. Be great if critical infrastructure just used UTC, but I am sure there are reasons I am not aware of, that make that hard too.

I think the RedHat we are seeing, it's a bad "flex" on the community. I know a lot of people at RedHat, they are great folks and not resemble the folks that are popping up in these sorts of events. RedHat definitely is doubling down on a negative position for the community and ecosystem that they, ultimately, created. The CVE is only a 5.5, but that doesn't mean it's optional based on "customer demand". As RedHat will know, PCI has some fairly prescriptive timelines on patching CVE. RedHat has to fix the problem. Even the upstream project has fixed it. So the response from RedHat 100% a childish flex on the community I hope Alma and the other "free loaders" (to quote Mike McGrath) keep pushing to RedHat on shared work like this. It will highlight the need for change and elevate the trust in these alternatives to RHEL.

This, 100% this. I am cool with RedHat/IBM doing whatever, but they can't prevent you from redistribution, provided you aren't redistributing their copyrighted materials (easy to remove). This is the very disingenuous part. RedHat/IBM have also failed to read the room and responding to the users of cloned versions as freeloaders really is a bit on the nose, given how much they have also freeloaded. Hopefully once the "shock" and "emotion" settles down, the cooler heads will have figured out how to work with this change. I am also hoping this doesn't change other projects, looking at you ansible, for the worse.

huh? git was replaced by docker? Awesome!
