Ventoy basically breaks openSUSE ISO's. Just mentioning that so maybe it'll show up more in searches.

rombert commented on Hermes: An open-source document management system hashicorp.com/blog/introd... · Posted by u/shcheklein
I read through the project as I worked with several document storage solution before and still lookin for an ideal solution.
Filenet is horribly overpriced from IBM,
Alfresco looks nice but have serious performance issues (my experience is from 2020), SharePoint is only nice if everything is Microsoft... Apache Oak is an abandoned project with a lot of things that seems to be in it but didnt get finished (e.g. CMIS protocol or usable documentation).
This Hermes seems nice and being open source is a great thing but it's still in alpha, do not support custom file types and very Google oriented.
If anyone has a good mature alternative I'm all ears.
Assuming that by Apache Oak you mean the Oak subproject of Apache Jackrabbit ( https://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/ ), why would you consider it abandoned? Release 1.48.0 came out last week and it's been seeing steady activity throught the last years - https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-oak/ .
I am a committer and PMC member in the project, so I may be biased.

well the easiest way I can think of is just using the OBS virtual camera thing (Unsure if they released it officially on Linux, but there is a plugin for that [1]).
Use chroma key to remove the background and add a video there, possibly on a loop.
It is present for Linux in recent releases.
rombert commented on Ask HN: Where is a nice place to host which is not AWS / GCP types · Posted by u/ilrwbwrkhv
Digital Ocean, Linode, OVH
Used all of them and liked all of them
Digital Ocean is a bit better on UI but pricing wise Linode was the best (until they removed their lowest priced plans)
Which plan did Linode remove? I've been with them for years and they added a low-priced Nanode offering that I use and is still advertised.

This is due to PulseAudio not having proper support for decent quality HFP/HSP. There was a PR to PulseAudio for this exact thing that seemed to have been completely stranded:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/merge...
Edit: actually there might have been some movement on this after all? Some comments in that ticket seem to indicate that this has been improved on master.
The latest development version (unreleased) of Pulse Audio has great support for HFP with WBS/mSBC.
I've been using it for weeks (months?) with great results.

> I don’t really need to exactly match RHEL’s point releases. I don’t need 100% binary compatibility with RHEL.
That's good, because regular old CentOS is not bit-for-bit identical either. CentOS might strip out all the RHEL trademarks, but they had to reverse engineer RHEL code drops just like Oracle, Amazon, Google, Facebook, SuSE, etc.
> The upstreams serve me well enough.
What you don't appreciate is that the distinction between upstream/downstream is a broken metaphor across small time scales. Bug fixes and backports will show up in any number of RHEL clones from Oracle|Amazon|Facebook|Google|Baidu|Samsung before making their way into Fedora|CentOS and finally into RHEL. In the future, RHEL will release their own bugfixes to subscription customers before those fixes find their way into CentOS Stream.
That's the meat grinder of a Linux distribution: uptime "guarantees" are just refunds you get to cash in when a large devops team can't fix a problem fast enough.
> The one thing I can’t get over though, is the decision to roll out this change in the middle of CentOS 8’s lifecycle, trimming out what, 8 years or so of support. That seriously stung. This decision should have been made a year or two ago, before CentOS 8 was released.
If you have a kernel that hasn't been updated in over three years and you need very low downtime, you either have a dedicated operations crew or you don't let it touch the internet.
But if you are so cheap that you don't want to pay for bandwidth/build servers yet aren't willing to violate the "developer" license agreement ... then use a RHEL clone from Amazon|Oracle. They are already undercutting Red Hat support packages, why not make them foot the bandwidth bill too?
Everyone else should be celebrating: Red Hat is basically turning CentOS Stream into a spot where they can collaborate with their frenemies and ship more software faster.
Qubes developers for example, have been spread very thin by Fedora's six month release cycle. Switching away from an RPM distro would be too difficult but CentOS lags too far behind mainline (5 years!) to be useful. If Red Hat can step up their game and push out a major release very 3 years and get the "pipeline" between Fedora and CentOS working ... maybe they can win some market share back from Debian and Ubuntu.

Do you have a source for SUSE reverse engineering RHEL code drops? Last I checked they were unrelated.

Debian Unstable -> Testing -> Stable -> Oldstable -> Oldstable with LTS
Fedora -> Centos Stream -> RHEL -> RHEL with LTS
Opensuse Tumbleweed -> Leap -> SLES -> SLES with LTS
Note that the gap between Leap and SLE will become quite small after Leap 15.3, with binary packages for SLE being reused for Leap.
It's interesting that while RH/IBM are moving away from the 'community rebuild' model SUSE are moving close.

I've been running a homelab cluster on Kubic for about a month. My favourite part is definitely waking up in the morning to a new kernel version or patch k8s upgrade.
Seems like a strange purchase for Adobe. How does this fit into their market or ecosystem?
This will likely be part of https://www.adobe.com/marketing-cloud.html .
