Q: Do you know when to dnf upgrade vs dnf distro-sync?
A: dnf upgrade = updates all apps & software to latest version, while dnf distro-sync = syncs everything to latest distro version, which may add, downgrade or remove parts.#tutorialtuesday #rockycommunity #dnf

Overheard in the RL chat: "SELinux is that thing you don't realize you need until you need it." If the first thing you ever learned about SELinux was how to disable it, but you've realized you need a security-enhanced mechanism for your Enterprise Linux system, here is your guide to make SELinux work for you. #tutorialtuesday #rockydocs #security #selinux

There's obviously more than one person connected to the project contributing to CentOS Stream. No, I'm not going to collect everybody's Gitlab usernames and git committer email addresses for you (nor should / could I), or further indulging your trolling at all.

To conclusively sum up contributions you'd need to get commit logs for every repo, but that's a lot of work.
Laziest, but incomplete way is to just search by merges, like https://gitlab.com/groups/redhat/centos-stream/-/merge_requests?scope=all&state=all&author_username=neilhanlon

Do you know how to set up a secure firewall for your network? Our 'firewalld' tutorial has had good reviews from users. It can walk a beginner through the process of setting up the default Rocky Linux firewall daemon. For users with some previous knowledge of older firewall technologies, the IpTables Guide helps translate that knowledge into the 'firewalld' setup. https://docs.rockylinux.org/guides/security/firewalld-beginners/ #tutorialtuesday #firewalld #howto #linuxtips #documentation

Automation is a key trick for making your work minutes count, buying yourself more play minutes. Or, for the nerdiest among us, scheduling your play minutes for maximum effect. Whatever your purpose, let's schedule Linux processes using 'cron' and 'crontab'.
The crontab is a list where users add automated tasks and jobs, and has many options, from basic to advanced, that can simplify things even further. https://docs.rockylinux.org/guides/automation/cron_jobs_howto/ #tutorialtuesday #cron #automation #linuxtips #documentation

This week’s news about the "Looney Tunes flaw" highlighted a condition which can allow a local user to access root privileges from the command line. Part of the RL Security team's task is to have mitigation strategies ready for such cases - reporting vulnerabilities and suggesting fixes upstream, and also writing our own extra packages.
This week, the Security SIG has published our extra packages and formalized a wiki: https://rockylinux.org/news/security-sig-update/ #looneytunables #securityupdate #glibc

Celebrating 40 years of the OG(nu)! Rocky traces its roots to this, and in fact can be technically referred to as "GNU plus Rocky Linux."
Happy birthday to GNU and kudos to the team behind the free software movement. https://www.gnu.org/gnu40/

📸 Need to backup your Rocky Linux servers? Run -rsnapshot. It works well, is super fast, and keeps a running backup that you can restore from easily. https://docs.rockylinux.org/guides/backup/rsnapshot_backup/ Side note: If you happen to run into any errors in this procedure, let us know so we can improve the docs. #documentation #excellence #rsnapshot #tutorialtuesday #howtoguide

Hey, let's have a #RealConvo about mental health. Remember that Enterprise Linux tension IS NOT more important than you, here, alive. Stress is a risk factor for self harm. Warning signs include aggression, fatigue, irritability, agitation.
Please, look out for yourself and your fellow humans. Suicide is preventable. Check in with your people. Take a walk. Get some sleep. And above all, be excellent to each other.

@npub1nf5…rm93 Actually, yes! On the Rocky site, under the Community tab, is an option called Calendar. The event is listed there under the name Community Meeting.

Congrats to the coalition spearheading the development of OpenELA! The Rocky Linux project currently has a working process. However, we believe in a community-accessible source of EL, and we look forward to contributing in similar ways as we contribute to other upstream projects. Whatever comes next, the future of Enterprise Linux looks bright.

@npub1fq0…6t28 This is separate from the Rocky Linux project so we don't know, but OpenELA is a very new entity. A fedi presence is likely not far behind.

What is the power of an open source community? It is the ability to dig deep in critical moments, to rise above and carry on. This week the greater Enterprise Linux community was gifted one such critical moment, and the Rocky Linux project has responded swiftly.
