Updated the emojis on my profile to announce that, as of yesterday, I'm now a @debian maintainer! One step towards becoming a developer.

Everyone's been super friendly and helpful, I'm looking forward to writing about my experience (and writing a Rosetta Stone comparing the terminologies and processes of and )

Dear , any recommendation for external readers that work well with and read modern cards?

My 3.5 year old XPS seems to only read my Lexar UHS-II card through some arcane combination of removing and reinsertion kernel modules, which is ... not ideal and hard to reproduce (I've only gotten it to mount once!).

This is on both 34 and 36 pre-release

Thanks

Come watch me and my colleagues discuss what we're working on for @fedora and at this year's @fosdem and CentOS Dojo! From speeding up 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.

@fedora COPR humor:

If you really want to delete this Project, you'll have to answer this riddle:

4.3 hens lay 0.0 eggs in 3.8 days. How many eggs do 1.7 hens lay in 0.9 days?

Ok, kidding, just type "yes" into the below box.

New post: run a @fedora 32-bit
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 administration guides -- which are, luckily, available without subscription.

Dear fellow users - if I want to set up for generating documents on PR/commit, which container is the easiest to base it on?

On my local machine, on I just need to request a single package and it pulls in the right dependencies, but I wonder if there's a with enough texlive already pre-installed

Since the project leader is not on Mastodon -- here goes.

"""
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!
