Stop relying on outdated RPMs! For Prometheus & Node Exporter on CentOS Stream 9, official upstream binaries are the most secure method.

Our SysAdmin guide covers the deployment: creating dedicated users, verifying SHA256 checksums, configuring systemd & setting firewall rules for privacy.

Avec la montée en force d'#Ubuntu dans les années 2010, cette situation s'est quelque peu améliorée : certains vendeurs sentent qu'il est suffisant de proposer leur logiciel sur "Ubuntu XX.YY" pour atteindre la majorité des utilisateurs potentiels. J'en ai eu comme ça en formation, des gens qui venaient découvrir Ubuntu uniquement pour pouvoir utiliser leur logiciel de calcul scientifique.

Quand ce n'est pas Ubuntu alors généralement c'est un clone de #RedHat, #CentOS en tête. Ça a mal fini...

From #CentOSConnect: @spotz introduced us to the CentOS SIG Council, a new governance body to handle technical issues raised by the CentOS SIGs.

Finally finished the last bit with the server, and if there are any folks using #Django and want some help deploying it using a #CentOS / #Podman / #Anubis setup at #DigitalOcean. You can give my DEPLOYMENT.md a look.

Finally finished the provisioning for the #Ubuntu -> #CentOS migration. Overall wasn't too bad, but it really drove home the fact that I'm not a server admin by trade.
