Here are two emails from the Fedora Development list about what I was
just talking about:
1. CentOS Stream as a rolling release *of a stable RHEL branch*.
2. Idea to write an ansible script to upgrade to the point release of
packages that RHEL 8.x ship with.

It's a rolling release *of a stable RHEL branch*. You're not getting
radical new changes if you run CentOS Stream; you're just getting the
changes you'd usually get in RHEL stable point releases (e.g. 8.1, 8.2
etc) but getting them early and as they are produced, rather than in
periodic lumps).
For some folks / maintenance styles this might still be an issue, but
it should work OK in quite a lot of cases. It's not like you're running
Rawhide.

For those that want the equivalent of a point release,
I would think they should be able to write an ansible
script to upgrade to the point release of packages
that EL 8.x ship with.
A little more work (for someone) to maintain, but I
would not be surprised if someone (or a community)
decided to take it one.

I just finally got to see the stuff about Tesla's Dojo Processor stuff.
9 PFLOPS per "tile" and 36 TB/s of bandwidth.

Um..wow.

I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their
constituents as "consumers".
Sorry for this intrusive method of finding someone, but I saw Andy Stewart
at the NearFest this past Friday, and thinking that I had his email address
(and I did), I am having trouble with contacting mval.net, his mail domain.
Does anyone have an alternative address for him, of if Andy reads this can
you either fix your server or give me a working email?
Thanks,
md
This is a reminder that we've got a virtual meeting this Thursday October
14th.
Topic: tbd, dojo, Linux in space, Linux is now running native on the m1,
plus the usual banter, etc. Should the next meeting be physical?
Date: 10 / 14 / 2021
Time: 7pm
Location: Jitsi @ https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA
I hope to see you there!
Later,
Tim.
