Yeah… I know it’s insane. But they give you 4 arm cores, 24GB RAM, 200GB of storage in their always free tier.

Oh, I must have completely misunderstood what Pangolin is for. Is Pangolin like a replacement for Cloudflare tunnels in that case?

I don’t understand, each compute unit gets their own IP right?

I believe Pangolin is also using Wireguard. Pangolin is basically a self hosted Tailscale. I think the biggest advantage is the ease of management, but I’ve never used Pangolin or Tailscale so I couldn’t really tell you.

I know gross Oracle, but they have a fantastic free tier that would be good for that.

But this is self hosting.

I have wireguard on my router. To me it makes sense. If my router is down, nothing inside my network is reachable anyway. If I’m going through my router, anything inside my network can be rebooted without effecting my connection. That said, I’m really considering using Pangolin https://github.com/fosrl/pangolin, and hosting it in Oracle Cloud. If you don’t know, Oracle Cloud has an extremely generous free tier. As much as I generally hate Oracle, I still recommend their free tier.

I think a lot of people are turning to this opinion.

If you have more than one server, running a tang server is super easy. Clevis can then be used to unlock a LUKS partition automatically on boot.

You’re right, I don’t have an anxiety disorder. However, I do know the ecological harm they cause. That doesn’t make them not fun. Lots of fun things aren’t good for the environment.

Profiting off of someone else’s work without giving back is practically the definition of being a leech.

Even better, the description is just a list of the equipment they used to film the video. As if I really came to this video to know the camera you used.

Because they’re fun.

It’s not.

That’s my thoughts anyway. The entire linux world seems to be heading the immutable direction.

No image mode is not required. It is the immutable mode for RHEL. Using image builder and bootc to create and upgrade your images. Ostree is sort of like putting your entire OS in git. For an upgrade it checks out a new branch, updates that branch, then you have to reboot into that branch. That makes the upgrade atomic and gives you the ability to rollback. It’s what Core OS uses and what the Fedora Atomic desktops use. It’s a much bigger thing in RHEL 10 and I suspect will take over a lot of the duties of Satellite at some point.

I’m pretty sure Alma had a way to upgrade major releases. I know RHEL has Leapp, but it is always recommended to do a greenfield reinstall. Although with image mode and ostree that is changing.

Right, I think you’re basically saying what I think most of us would agree with. Don’t just copy the homework and poach customers. You can copy the homework and add your own value to it and earn customers. Bonus points for adding that value add back into the community like Alma does with their HPC work.

Fair enough. No corporation deserves a tear. But still, fuck Rocky for being a leech on the community.

Buddy, I know IBM owns them. I also know that Red Hat is basically the only thing making IBM money. Look at the financials a little more closely.

I guess you consider the parts of open source that are contributed to be owned by the contributors?

What would that have to do with anything? That’s not at all what I’m saying. I’m against companies that take an open source project to profit off of it without making any contributions to the community. CIQ and Canonical to a lesser extent. I have no issues with people like Red Hat, SUSE, Alma, etc…
