indeed. Normally I'd wait, but I have to make a run to the airport later, so I am a bit time constrained. Oh well, I am sure it will be good! It's up to 191 ( was trying to wait for 205 )

More yard work, more planting things.
Waiting for the meat to be done in the smoker.
Time for a cider... it's kinda dry.

Yeah, there was a outage/big load spike on the fedora.im server yesterday... I pinged EMS, but they already got the alerts and added resources/restarted it. :( Sorry it's causing blowups...

Finally finally. 😄 I have some monthly donations (patreon, librepay, etc).
Two I would like to shout out:
Friends of #gnome Started a monthly bit to help them out. I use gnome all the time and it's gotten so great:
https://blogs.gnome.org/foundation/2025/12/01/join-friends-of-gnome/
and #techdirt They do a great job reporting on legal / free speach / tech intersections. See https://www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/why-techdirt-is-now-a-democracy-blog-whether-we-like-it-or-not/

Finally a reminder: your company may have a donation matching program. If it does, do remember to request matches for all your donations. The group will then get 2x your donation. Win win!

Finally some local places to me:
Heartland Humane. The local no kill animal shelter. This is a vital local service. https://www.heartlandhumane.org/
Philomath community food bank. With all
(gestures) "this", people are depending on food banks more than ever. https://www.philomathcommunityservices.org/outreach-programs/food-bank/

I gave to #propublica
The media in my country is poor and getting worse. propublica has been doing actual news reporting, things that no one else is willing to do and speaking truth to power.

I also this year donated to the internet archive. I think people tend to just take them for granted, that they will always be there archiving our internet history, but if we don't support them, they won't be. ;(
They provide the wayback machine, sooo many old archives of things (recently I found all the old dragon magazines are available there).

I donated to @npub103f…kaf3
I think they also do important work supporting lots of free software projects, managing legal waters and supporting software freedom. They are also fighting the good fight to make sure the GPL is actually enforceable.
They do have a match in effect now until jan 15th.

I donated to #eff as I think they do great work trying keep our internet free. They also have nice things like privacybadger extension. Check them out. They do hope to unlock matching funds if they get enough members before the year ends.

Finally did my end of year donation spree today. This time of year there's often matching campaigns or the like.
I know it's been a rough year for many and being able to donate to things is a privilege. If you can't donate to causes, just try and be kind.
I'm gonna highlight some of the groups/causes I donated to in this thread. Perhaps it will inspire others.

Today in my #fedora corner:
* Fedora 43 beta went out. Get it now! https://fedoraproject.org/ Of course was up at like 5:30am to help out with that.
* Resumed some updates pushes. Died due to running out of files (already filed the bug, but haven't investigated more)
* Bunch of meetings
* Showed @npub19xk…nep0 and @npub16nv…5uuj how to reinstall a vmhost, keeping guests. Reinstalled a staging host with rhel10. 1 down.
* Poked anubis config more.
* Freed space on 2 download servers when they hit 100%

Fun command option learned today:
git stash --include-untracked
(or just -u)
Stash those new files that you haven't checked in yet alongside the changes you haven't checked in yet. :)

I sure hope we can all rally around OSUOSL and get them the funding they need to continue their invaluable work.
#fedora has a server hosted there that provides a number of vm's as well as a power10 instance for package maintainers to test their packages on power10.
They have touched so many open source communities!
If you have a way to help them, please do!

Upgraded my home #fedora machines to Fedora 42 (as I usually do before release).
Total yawner. Nothing broken at all that I can see so far!

QE job open on my team!
https://redhat.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/jobs/job/Waterford-City/Software-Quality-Engineer---Fedora-Linux_R-045047-1?q=fedora
I think it's a great place to be...

2024-10-10 00:52:54 GMT

Today in #fedora land:
* Removed a non idempotent task that should make our check ansible runs much cleaner. Will know tomorrow.
* Deployed config from rcollett to fix blocking retired epel packages. Thanks!
* Reissued some certs, because I had made new ones instead of reissuing and that made them not last as long/cost.
* koji upgrade outage: Reinstalled 3 more vmhosts with rhel9, upgraded koji to 1.35.1 and got everything hopefully working again.
* foolishly put a bag of harvest corn nearby.
