@davidgerard @cleverboi @RecurringBloatware @rdfhrn and because "installing another shell" is like "installing a compiler on a production system".

  • At least a gross violation of #BestPractises with regulations, if not a ticket to get a nonconsensual meeting with HR and security escorting one off premises...

So yeah, I've deal with #bash simply because it's the only #shell I can reliably expect on any relevant #Linux distro I'm working on (aka. #Ubuntu LTS, #SLES / #SLED, #RHEL, #Debian) ...

"'So far, #Salt has been the primary configuration management tool integrated tightly with #SUSE Multi Linux Manager, and will continue to be available through it. But – true to SUSE’s promise of “choice happens” – we are excited to announce a major addition: #Ansible will be introduced as an integrated part of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (#SLES) itself.'"

@ip6li @heiseonline nein.

Wenn ich die @BaFin wäre würde ich jenen #Technologiestack von #Microsoft wegen #CloudAct als unzulässig erklären da im Zweifelsfalle nicht die #ITsicherheit und #Verfügbarkeit geschäftskritischer Systeme und Vorgänge gewährleistbar ist!

  • Gab gute Gründe warum #OS2 lange bei #Banken genutzt wurde und warum die #SLES & #RHEL zeitgleich bei RZ-Infra nutzen!

Hintergrund: Ich hab auch schon fürn Zahlungsdienstleister als IT'ler gearbeitet. Die #BaFin verlangte u.a. reproduzierbar wiederherstellbare IT-Infrastruktur von Null + Backups!

@lcruggeri @mudkip lets just say there's a reason Stock Exchanges run #RHEL + #SLES mixed clusters of #Sybase...

  • Cuz they demand transactional, FIFO processing in real time.

Cool comic on "Smart Local Energy Systems" - I particularly enjoyed the bit about how energy #cooperatives can help create trust between energy users and suppliers.

Quote from a #SUSE blog post about Systems Management with SLES 16:

"'#YaST in maintenance mode

With the development of #SLES 16, SUSE is putting YaST into maintenance mode. The installation and configuration tool YaST will continue to be fully supported as part of SLES 15. For SLES 16, some of YaST’s components are used as base of Agama, YaST as a tool is replaced by #Agama, #Cockpit and #Ansible."'

@killyourfm #Funfact: Basically any #Linux I know (okay, except #SLES / #SLED, #RHEL and #OracleLinux with a subscription) allow users to install their system on an external drive.

  • And with #Steam it's just choosing a different drive to install games to.

Still, I do welcome options that make it even easier...

I have successfully migrated a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP6 in-place to openSUSE Leap 15.6. The whole thing was done on a Raspberry Pi 3, hence based on the aarch64 CPU architecture.

There was not much to do and the whole procedure went without any problems.

If you are interested, here is a short guide:

1\ Unregister the system and delete all local registration information.

# SUSEConnect --de-register
# SUSEConnect --cleanup
# zypper clean all
# rm -rf /var/cache/zypp

2\ Now delete /etc/zypp and replace it with a version from an openSUSE server. Don't forget to adapt the repos to your requirements.

3\ Time for the migration!

# zypper --releasever=15.6 ref
# zypper --releasever=15.6 dup --allow-vendor-change
# unlink /etc/products.d/baseproduct
# ln /etc/products.d/Leap.prod /etc/products.d/baseproduct

4\ Thats it, reboot!

@ustralien @DirkBoente Gibt genug Anbieter, besonders bei Mainstream distros wie @ubuntu / #UbuntuLTS, @SUSE / #SLES / #SLED & @redhat / #RHEL ...

Leute kaufen ja auch nicht mehr Porsche oder Lada wenn das die einzigen Händker im Dorf sind...

Selbst fucking #Apple ist besser weil nicht nur #Backups.funktionieren sondern all der ganze #Cloud-Bullshit abstellbar ist!

@ravirockks OFC they don't.

At best they show people how to change fan curves in the #UEFI or hiw to run #memtest86+, but mostly they just "teach" people how to consume #Windows and at best #macOS and that's it.

Same with @libreoffice / #LibreOffice & @thunderbird / #Thunderbird.

Do NOT update #SLES SUSE Enterprise Server 15 Servicepack 5 Packages.

This will break module HTTP/2:
httpd-event: Syntax error in -C/-c directive: Syntax error on line 32 of /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/loadmodule.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib64/apache2-event/mod_http2.so into server: /usr/lib64/apache2-event/mod_http2.so: undefined symbol: ap_thread_create

I opened up a case at SCS

Packages are:

I guess I have to update my blog about the syslog-ng-stable RPM repo, which is updated to #syslog_ng version 4.8.1 now.

syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog

It still mentions @fedora 30, @centos 7 and @SUSE #SLES 15 SP1 in the examples 😉
