It appears to be "The Friendly Orange Glow: The Untold Story of the PLATO System and the Dawn of Cyberculture".

Of course! It's easy to forget he was a guard at one of America's most notorious concentration camps, Guantanamo Bay. It's foolish to think of him only as a Fox News personality.

They are not directly comparable. Nebula is a mesh VPN. Wireguard can be used as a building block for a mesh VPN (as it is in Tailscale), but it does not have that function organic…

Also consider Nebula: https://github.com/slackhq/nebula ZeroTier does not use an OSI approved open-source license. It is under a freedom-restricting "Business Source License". Nebu…

Nope, it wouldn't have been in RHEL 10 or any of the rebuilds. CentOS Stream 10 already branched from Fedora / ELN. The closest it would have gotten is a Fedora ELN compose, and it…

Ha, fun to see this again! Back before everything was HTTPS, it was fun to use the Browser Exploitation Framework ( https://beefproject.com ) which had a script included that did t…

Rocky Linux has /etc/redhat-release as well. Reason being that some software checks that file for version / compatibility information, and we want to avoid breaking it. (They shoul…

It is not. openSUSE is a very different distro, though it does use RPM packages. SuSE Liberty Linux is, I believe: https://www.suse.com/products/suse-liberty-linux/

The vagueness is not intentional, it's vague only because at the time it was written we hadn't decided on a particular source. For Rocky Linux, RHEL cloud instances are currently t…

Happily surprised to see this hit the front page! If anyone is interested, I keep track of some statistics regarding Rocky Linux usage at https://rocky-stats.tiuxo.com/auto.html No…

There's no mystery or secret about where we get sources: https://rockylinux.org/news/keeping-open-source-open/ TLDR: UBIs and cloud instances.

We aim to be as transparent as possible. The only information that we don't share publicly is the obvious stuff (PII, sensitive infrastructure information, etc). The information re…

We have a whole blog post about exactly that, here: https://rockylinux.org/news/keeping-open-source-open/

We thank our upstream often, in person, in social media, etc. We sponsor the Fedora Flock conference, the only opportunity to fiscally support Fedora, and will continue to do so. S…

Projects have always done this, as Red Hat has always been rather litigious and it's unwise to give them any unnecessary ground for legal complaints. The common euphemism has been …

This is adorable, it even shows Haneda air traffic!

Can you elaborate how the patches, bug reports, package maintenance, etc, do not benefit the "builders' community"? They all go to the same upstream. And what exactly do you mean b…

We do indeed. Adoption numbers are promising https://rocky-stats.tiuxo.com/auto.html > but community size is enormous as well. 9071 folks on https://chat.rockylinux.org , ~300 folk…

We participate in the Enterprise Linux community just fine. Our community members report bugs and throw patches at upstream projects, run SIGs creating value for EL, maintain Fedor…

For the security part at least, there are a few efforts to combine all the errata in one place, for example https://osv.dev/list?ecosystem=Rocky+Linux

What are you trying to imply here Paolo?

Rocky Linux has a large selection of live ISOs in different flavor desktop environments / etc at https://rockylinux.org/alternative-images
