... one should not run in the rain. Years of scientific research have proven so many times already that one should DANCE IN THE RAIN! :-D

In thousands of days all cars will be Full Self Driving, IPv6 will be the only network stack and there will be world peace. There is 0 certainty it will further improve. It is what it is.

New nuclear plants are massively more expensive than solar and wind. There is 0 incentive to opt for this dangerous technology with a dependence on scare - often Russia supplied uranium. It only makes sense if corruption is a factor.

Every self-respecting organisation will now want to open and verify their purchases to see if there's no tampering being done with the hardware in manufacturing or in transit. I hope this will boost the 'repairability' factor needed. One can only verify a product if it can be opened and put together again. Like, for example, the fairphone. While this has been a human tragedy for all the victims involved, maybe there will be some positive influence on the long term?
Yes, I'm an optimist...

What would you do if someone came to your property and said your deed wasn't valid because of their religion? It's a recipe for war. Every day again...

Great news! This public service will benefit the entire world. Including Germany, but also the entire world! Kudos to the people who made this happen, you rock(y?)!

The real existential threat is that all datacenters are hard for humans to get into and very easy for super-intelligent AI with zero-day intrusion capabilities to take over. It is very easy to create manual overrides to turn the redundant power and redundant connectivity off manually - without any digital tools - if we want to. But nobody seems to realise the importance of this manual override.

I'm afraid the reason is less exotic as many posters hoped for ;) NASA response: “A pulsing sound from a speaker in Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft heard by NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore aboard the International Space Station has stopped. The feedback from the speaker was the result of an audio configuration between the space station and Starliner. The space station audio system is complex, allowing multiple spacecraft and modules to be interconnected, and it is common to experience noise and feedback. The crew is asked to contact mission control when they hear sounds originating in the comm system. The speaker feedback Wilmore reported has no technical impact to the crew, Starliner, or station operations, including Starliner’s uncrewed undocking from the station no earlier than Friday, Sept. 6.”

My 2 cents: this project was initiated as a result of the Apple Vision Pro launch. Often Apple gets it right. And then Meta should have been ready quickly to compete. However, Apple Vision Pro is less successful than expected, hence the change in strategy. I presume Apple is working on a cheaper replacement for the Vision Pro to make it sell more, but the biggest issue is (lack of) use cases outside for movie watching on an airplane. The Meta Quest 4 is simply a better product now; cheaper, lighter and with more use cases (gaming, entertainment....). Meta probably better focuses in keeping it light and cheap and just gradually improving it till Apple delivers really something worth copying ;-)

Clearly not a security issue... all of my apps store my documents on my private computer so other programs can read them... Strange OpenAI decided to hash them now...

The https://www.project78.com/ software allows mass automated in-place migration of both Red Hat 7 and CentOS 7 to either RHEL8 or Rocky Linux 8. We have now upgraded more than 15.000 machines; VMs or physical in this manner. It's a great solution for large enterprise deployments.

We have to remember where this all comes from. The original reason why Red Hat did choose a specific kernel release back in the old days was simple: some releases where good, other ones where not that great and prone to crashes and instability. That was 25 years ago... and since 20 years we have very stable linux releases, and the backwards compatibility requirement for userspace in Linux development is holy.
Still the Red Hat leadership has been stuck with their heads in the past.
As this paper rightfully says: delivering the least stable kernel with an - ironic - enterprise label.
It has turned into a commercial differentiator without any technological merit - on the contrary, it's a serious disadvantage of the distribution.
When we discovered that Red Hat still applies a broken philosophy regarding major OS upgrades and provides a non-functional leapp tool for in-place upgrading, forcing enterprises to fall back to reinstalling thousands of servers, we set to work. And we build Project78 to prove it can be different. Upgrading Red Hat 7 to Red Hat 8, or CentOS 7 to Rocky 8, or CentOS 7 to RHEL8, can now be done in a massive, predictive way too. We prove the point it can be different. As Linux is supposed to be. I hope Red Hat will get their act together and fix these 2 large shortcomings of their distribution, because they are not delivering the experience as it should be. More information about our Project78 here.

Indeed, LEAPP in itself is not great. But our Project78 software builds upon it to deal with its shortcomings for large scale enterprises. We have already upgraded thousands of heterogenous Linux servers at our customers and performed +10.000 lab upgrades to validate our custom recipes dealing with most common third party software. Here you can find out more: https://www.project78.com/ And the differences between LEAPP and Project78: https://docs.google.com/spread...

So what exactly is the improvement run0 brings?

To attack one of the most popular tools in Linux and enforce millions of people to change their behavior, there must be extraordinary justifications. I fail to see those.

Learning mode, which is to be added, is what interests me most.
