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.

Guys,
I'm looking into Zeek and unfortunately I don't have a second ethernet
port on my main system, so it's not clear how I'd run a span port off
my main switch to grab traffic.
What hardware do people recommend for a zeek data collection node? I
guess I could spin up my old WRAP board (http://www.pcengines.ch)
which I used as my main router for years before I replaced it
recently. But it's not super fast. It's got three 1gb ports, and 4gb
of RAM with a 1Ghz single core AMD CPU. So it might do the job, esp
since I can install Debian Buster on there without too much trouble.
Sweet!
John
Hey Everybody,
This is a reminder that we have a meeting on April 8th, 2021.
Same bat time, same bat channel
Date: April 8th, 2021
7pm: Jitsi @ https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA
Topic: As of yet, there's no topic for the meeting, however, there's a ton
to talk about none the less!
The PHP git server hack, the OpenSSL vulnerabilities, turns out the spectre
mitigations can be mitigated? I'm sure more stuff will come up as well..
As usual drinks and refreshments aren't being provided as this is a virtual
meeting.. But soon.. so soon I hope we'll all be able to get
together safely. Thanks for being patient and coming to the meetings, I
appreciate it.
Tim.
