● Gemini Links 09/07/2023: Hard to Trust Red Hat Now
Posted in News Roundup at 7:57 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
Gemini* and Gopher
Personal/Opinions
- There’s one thing I so far miss about my old job. I sort of expected to but I’m still a little surprised by it.
- My old job was on my university campus about a 20 minute walk from where I lived. My new job is a 20 minute drive, and even though it’s the same amount of travel time I’m missing the old commute a lot more.
Technology and Free Software
- First, Red Hat did a trick[1] with their open source code, so that if anyone who uses their GPL rights to share the Red Hat code, loses their subscription. (Well, that’s how I understood it. Please give it a read yourself to make sure.)
- [...]
- Gaining trust is hard, losing it is easy. And it does seem this has been quite a blow to Red Hat and Fedora, but maybe it shows positively in other ways. Who knows.
- I shared my opinions on their forum, but yes, I’m cynical enough to think my voice doesn’t really matter. I could’ve been less “sharp-tongued” about it in those posts, but *dude im just so tired.*
- My personal feelings on the matter is that I hope all goes well, but I will try other distro offerings in the meanwhile and see how it goes. I am tired of worrying over such things anyway, so it’s easier for me to move.
Internet/Gemini
- So, I recently got back into Usenet and thought it would be cool to browse through old historical posts, especially the ones in the old gopher groups. You can actually find a bunch of collections dating as far back as 1981 on archive.org. They’ve got the Giganews Usenet Collection, Usenet Historical Collection, and Henry Spencer’s UTZOO NetNews Archive.
Programming
- Inspired by actually getting this Gemlog started, I’ve decided to create a list of other things I want to do:
- * Setting up the RPi and TV for emulating games. * Investigating how to use Linux productively with keyboard only. * Solder the kits I have lying around. * Finish the text formatting library I was writing for FreeBASIC. * Write the game I was planning in FreeBASIC.
