Good news! #distrobox is now available on #Ubuntu 20.04 and up via my #PPA: https://launchpad.net/~michel-slm/+archive/ubuntu/distrobox

It's uploaded to #Debian Mentors too and I just need to find someone to review and then sponsor an upload.

Have too many repos checked out on your machines? Me too. I've recently written and released myrepos-utils so I can quickly locate the repos I already track with #myrepos: https://michel-slm.name/posts/2022-03-28-myrepos-utils/

It's on #PyPI and coming to a #Fedora mirror near you!

Come watch me and my colleagues discuss what we're working on for @fedora and #CentOS at this year's @fosdem and CentOS Dojo! From speeding up #RPM to managing desktops and servers at scale, these should be fun.

Both free to attend. And our time slots should work for both EU and US attendees since we're doing this from our homes in the US.

New #blog post: I've added an icon for @PixelFed to #Hugo's `hello-friend-ng` theme!

Really glad that all the social profiles I list on my blog are now #FLOSS and #selfhosting capable (and many are #federated) except for GitHub.

cc @dansup - thanks again for your brilliant work on Pixelfed!

New #blog post: #HOWTO run a @fedora 32-bit #arm
VM emulated on x86-64.

Don't ask why I want to do that (TL;DR - I explained it in the blog post). It's slow enough that I took the time to document for my future self.

Surprisingly there are some libvirt commands that are better documented in the #RHEL administration guides -- which are, luckily, available without subscription.
