I use Checkmk to monitor my HomeLab/Automation so I built a custom extension to let it monitor the health (connectivity, calibration, battery) of my Tado devices. If this would be useful for you: I've published the extension on the Checkmk Exchange, and the code on GitHub.

I don't claim to be a developer, I built this for myself and decided to share it. If you think you can make it better, go ahead!
Linux supply chain attack!
Fedora, OpenSUSE, Debian (Unstable), and Kali affected.

New video coming... this time tomorrow.
For some reason I starting publishing at 9 a.m. on a Wednesday in the UK and just stuck with it, but given a lot of you are still in bed and I need to get to work I thought I'd try shifting things around. Stay tuned, and let me know if it works out better for you.
A company that makes hair straighteners wants to sponsor the channel if I'll post videos promoting their products. I'm not sure this is going to work...
I tried to record a serious analysis of the RHEL source code changes. I rewrote the video several times but couldn't find the right tone. Then I woke up and thought "Sod it, this doesn't deserve serious." Video going up on Wednesday. This is a screenshot.
AlmaLinux is no longer striving for bug-for-bug compatibility with RHEL, and will instead aim for binary compatibility and will get their sources from CentOS Stream.
Are you more or less likely to use AlmaLinux now?
I respect that they're trying to steer themselves away from upstream risk, and attempting to differentiate themselves from RHEL/Rocky, but I bet there are a lot of people who installed AlmaLinux specifically for its bug-for-bug compatibility who will now be questioning their choice.
IMO AlmaLinux's relevance will largely depend on how they choose to differentiate themselves now they are no longer constrained by bug-for-bug. I see little value in a Stream clone, but "like RHEL, with additional drivers/software" could appeal to a lot of people.
They're digging in on this one: "Ultimately, we do not find value in a RHEL rebuild and we are not under any obligation to make things easier for rebuilders"

Something seems off about this...
What should I do with this? Any requests for a video using it?
π¨βπΌ About Me
My name is Andrew Quinn. I'm a technology strategist and IT consultant. I've been working in IT for longer than I'd care to admit, starting with repairing computers while I was still in school and now helping large enterprises to define and deliver their technology strategy. I am passionate about technology and the opportunities it presents.
π¬ About The Channel
Keeping up with technology can be a challenge for IT pros, and many who have inherited the responsibility of a technology decision-maker don't have the time or the background to research everything they need to make informed decisions. I started this channel to provide answers to common questions brought to me in the field. I also sprinkle in some content that I think is interesting or fun, so you don't have to be a hardened sysadmin or stressed-out IT manager to find something useful here. Many of my subscribers just like technology!
