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.

Thrust is an old C64 game. I never played the original but enjoyed an
svgalib version a long time ago. Svgalib was used for games when people
didn't have machines that could reasonably run X. It requires root to
run and can't run under X so it isn't something people do now for the
most part. The version I played now has an X version but it requires
pseudo color so it is not usable.
I updated the code to use SDL. I replaced some images that seemed to
have been copied from the original. I renamed the game to Inertia
Blast. Of course this included adding Gamerzilla support but it is
minimal at the moment with only two achievements.

Hey Gang,
We've got a meeting this week on Sept. 9th!
Do people want to do in a meeting in person or virtual?
Thanks,
Tim.

Hey Gang,
Enough people have reached out to me privately that they want to attend
remotely, that I think it makes sense to do the meeting virtually this
month.
The meeting will be at the usual virtual place: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA
<https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA>@7PM.
Speaking with Frank WPI is off the table as a meeting location. Tonight I
think it warrants a conversation about where we'd like to do physical
meetings. They are going to happen, I'd like to pick a spot that works for
everybody.
I'm sure lots of other topics will come up as well.
See ya there!
Later,
Tim.
