Stef Walter and I introduced Fedora Hummingbird Linux at #RedHatSummit — a rolling-release Linux for Builders, built by a lights-out factory. Slides up. #RHEL #Fedora https://t.co/Pi9mA6Uaao

Slides from my #RedHatSummit RHEL roadmap session with Brian Stinson — building the next RHEL in the open. #RHEL #OpenSource https://t.co/SsU0HkWuE1

Fedora Hummingbird meeting July 23, 12:00 UTC — agenda is still forming, bring your ideas: https://t.co/K7mGCM6UaY #Fedora #Hummingbird

Slides up from my #RedHatSummit talk with @jspaleta — the Fedora-to-RHEL pipeline and Innovation Lifecycle. #RHEL #Fedora https://t.co/EhMmiGaRsE

Near-zero-CVE Java containers — one line change in pom.xml. Jib + Red Hat Hardened Images, no Dockerfile needed. Great walkthrough by @daboroscode.

Anthropic builds frontier AI but can't stop proxies reselling Claude at 90% off. Every new defense spawns a new evasion market. Best piece I've read on it:

GitHub Actions now supports RHEL 9 and RHEL 10 runner images. Build and test on the same OS you deploy to.

In 1377, Ragusa invented quarantine — ships anchored on islands for 30 days before entering the city. They called it Trentina. MCP-Airlock is now Trentina: same three-layer defense for AI agents, better name. https://t.co/j2gAvDTK4j

Most Linux desktops: police & fire QA. Bluefin built a dark factory — 255 tests, real VMs, agents that write regression tests from bug reports.

You might have missed it with all of the other Red Hat announcements. Please, if this area interests you, come join our community! #fedora #linux #bootc #podman

Fedora Linux 44 is out. Konflux for bootc images, MariaDB vector support, GCC 16 toolchain refresh. Come check it out. https://t.co/A8Cwcfun2X #Fedora #Linux

VIM forks rejecting AI-generated code vs. upstream VIM with AI assistance + more contributors. This is a real experiment in a mature project. My money's on upstream, but either way we'll learn something. https://t.co/Cc6PpGyI2q #VIM #OpenSource

[Scott McCarty @fatherlinux]

AI agents can now SSH into RHEL images for live debugging + CVE scanning. Red Hat's MCP integration brings OS telemetry to your IDE. https://t.co/4ioNCaBVCv #RHEL #MCP

[Scott McCarty @fatherlinux]

Domain experts can now contribute to open source at the spec level without code, but trust requires open specs + governance, not just open code. #OpenSource #AI

AI can replace tasks. It can't replace your ikigai. Talked about finding mine — punk rock to PM, scared the whole time: https://t.co/SXTOgjheNX #Ikigai #ProductManagement

I've watched https://t.co/z1XE9LdJmD grow to 120k+ lines. Rewritten News & Events 5+ times to keep it lean. Cantrill explains why: LLMs lack the virtue of laziness. https://t.co/D5oTjrp130 #AI

AI completes GPL: Roots of The Valley (https://t.co/Wwxi7nde5G) open source map, solo+AI. Before: impossible. https://t.co/gvD4uBOj1b #AI

Qwen 2.5 122B on consumer GPUs just added a visual editor to OpenSCAD's C++ codebase. 70 minutes, no cloud, no API key. The ceiling for local LLMs has moved. https://t.co/G8QHpvZBOA #LocalLLM
