Same, especially since he has shared a lot about his Crohn disease online https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2022/crohns-disease-takes-...
I should hope I have time to post more before I'd have anything too radical happen :D Typically with Crohn's issues you have weeks or months of fun issues that lead up to anything too serious! (But not always)

The Pi 5's PCIe implementation has a lot of fixes—to the point where after only a few days of work, Coreforge over on GitHub has Minecraft rendering through the GPU (only at x1 speed so far). The CM4 uses the silicon from Pi 4, which was never really a fully-baked PCIe implementation, so I'll forgive them a little there. But it opened up a huge number of possibilities that I think will be realized on Pi 5 (and hopefu…

Why do you feel it is particularly overblown?
Because so much of it was just completely false. Jeff positioned Red Hat as going against the community, which wasn't the case at all. The "bad actors" were squarely Rocky and Alma who just wanted to sell the exact same ten year support enterprise Red Hat as Red Hat themselves without any work. Well, Red Hat said, you want it, you go get it in Stream, which has a 5 year lifecycle. The only companies that need ten yea…
(And I say this as an open source developer myself, who has spent thousands of hours writing code for free.)
If you want to side with Red Hat on this, fine, but it's not necessary to exaggerate the actions of those with an opposing view to the point that you're trying to make them look bad.
I also in general think it's silly and unnecessary to defend a giant corporation (remember, IBM owns Red Hat now, and it's not like RH had been a scrappy little Linux company for a long while before the acquisition, even) over regular ol' community members and IT sysadmins who have a beef.

That sounds like some great revisionist history. Thousands of sysadmins, open source devs, even Hatters themselves used CentOS as a proxy for RHEL where they didn't want to deal with licensing crap. In the middle of the CentOS 8 lifecycle, they converted CentOS to CentOS Stream (nobody asked for this), forcing everyone who had migrated their tooling and infra from CentOS 7 to 8 to migrate instead to... what? Rocky/Al…
Jeff, plenty of smarter people than me came out against you to correct your crusade. As a practicing Christian, I'd expect more from you than coming out to lead a mob frothing at the mouth for blood. You didn't even try and have a reasonable discourse with Red Hatters. As an influencer, you have a responsibility not to encourage this kind of social media vitriol that's become all too common. It's a contagion upon the…
Doesn't mean they were right.

Most likely one of the blog posts I wrote in the early 00s about abortion. I started writing my blog in 2004, and decided to leave up almost everything from the earliest days when it was on Xanga, then Thingamablog (SSG before it was cool!), and now Drupal. Unlike most people, I'd rather be an open book. I figure intelligent people can understand how something written in high school/college days two decades ago can r…
Thanks for your reply. I'm curious to know if your views have changed in the years/decade(s) since. (I'm asking specifically because there appear to be a few logical flaws in some of the arguments in one of your blog posts from 2009, at the risk of going significantly off topic for this HN thread)
I don't agree with Jeff's 2009 views on abortion, but it's not really relevant to the work he's done here, and neither is whether or not he's changed his mind in any way about it.
> It’s like the tool world: I use DEWALT mostly, because the first tool I bought was a DEWALT. So you gotta use the DEWALT battery, and then you’re like, well, I could buy this cheaper tool, it’s better. But then it won’t work with my battery. So now I have something like 25 DEWALT tools. Oh man, this is something I wish the EU would work on fixing. There's no reason there couldn't be a battery standard.

But the software for other SBCs is extremely bad, I've never heard of any Pi on release or after that has any software or hardware bugs. Proprietary blobs aren't that bad with Broadcom...

You needn't use your real name, of course, but for HN to be a community, users need some identity for other users to relate to. Otherwise we may as well have no usernames and no community, and that would be a different kind of forum. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...

Yep it's a complete anti-feature and I have no idea why it's still in use.
Because you can edit the title after the fact?
