Software and Wetware: updates on my #FOSDEM talk, @fedora change proposals, #EPEL work, and ... oh yes I'm a new parent so I'll be off the grid for a few weeks! See y'all on the other side

This post is day 14 of my #100DaysToOffload challenge
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.

Impromptu @fedora New Year's Eve Party! The idea was so popular we're gonna use our events platform, but don't let that intimidate you — it's still low-key no-pressure fun. Sign up now and join us tomorrow! All are welcome!

New #blog post: In response to a recent @fedora thread on what packaging tasks could be better automated, I shared the scripts I use to rebuild #Facebook's open-source C++ projects

@PINE64 #PinebookPro with the @fedora delivery badge from #nestwithfedora
It actually still has #Manjaro KDE installed, sshh - I'll likely keep it that way and install #Fedora on an SD card later
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.

Linux installer woes
#Anaconda with #kickstart in text mode: it can prompt for encryption password but chokes activating wifi.
In graphical mode: it can activate wifi but complains if you ask for an encrypted partition without hardcoding it.
Dear fellow #LaTeX users - if I want to set up #CI for generating documents on PR/commit, which container is the easiest to base it on?
On my local machine, on #Fedora I just need to request a single package and it pulls in the right dependencies, but I wonder if there's a #container with enough texlive already pre-installed
Since the #Fedora project leader is not on Mastodon -- here goes.
"""
#Fedora 32 is "go" to be released next Tuesday. This is the fifth release in a row where we've matched our planned schedule. Considering the huge amount of upstream change we integrate, this is an amazing feat. Congratulations to everyone who worked so hard to make this happen!

After a long process cleaning up our internal cookbooks, am I glad to say we're almost 100% in merging back community contributions, and are at a point where we start open-sourcing previously unseen internal cookbooks -- many of them targeting #Fedora and other #Linux distributions
More details at our upcoming #scale 18x talk next month!
The ThinkPad T495s is a really sweet machine - #AMD CPU and GPU, Intel WiFi, everything works out of the box with #Fedora 31.
Too bad the RAM currently maxes out at 16 GB and the screen is a standard 1080p: the RAM of the X1 Carbon and the body and screen of the lowest spec T series.
Hoping the next iteration is better ~ and other vendors do AMD laptops! (Hello Dell?)
More details (not my review):
Coming up tomorrow: our talk about how we manage #Fedora #desktop clients at #Facebook!
Hello all,
I'm interested in #free_software, #privacy and concerned about the danger of #monoculture and #monopoly in technology and elsewhere.
I've been a #Linux user since 1998, and a #Fedora contributor since 2005. My $dayjob is with #Facebook though not on any product or ads teams, and I actually get to work with, and contribute to, #floss projects.
See my profile for my other #fediverse accounts. Looking forward to conversing here!
