Digital Sovereignty isn't just for nations!

Now that the desktop has reached The Final Shape we turn attention to our homelabs.

Been making great progress on this, we're at v .8. This one is boring. Knuckle just installs flatcar.

But we want cloud native magic so we're building "Bluefin Server" but not sure on the name. And it'll run flatcar, and in there your magical bootc factory runs and your bluebuild just worked ootb. And the Fedora one will come with coreOS, tekton, forgejo, konflux, etc.

A place for both - if we design the homeserver and desktop as one unified WHOLE, we could do a ton more stuff. The tech is already finished.

Awesome to see #flatcar #linux get a commercial product. Hope to see more! Congrats @thilo and co!

Before I worked with the bootc team to get that into the @cloudnativefdn I worked with the team at MS to get flatcar into the CNCF!

It took a year (paperwork sucks). Awesome server os, I'm working on something slick for you all who wanna try it at home.

If you’re in Prague this weekend and care about practical Linux ops, I’m doing two talks at Installfest.cz on Saturday (building A, CTU FEL, Karlovo náměstí), both in English:

15:30–15:55 (Track II) – You Don’t Need Kubernetes: Side Projects on One Linux Server

17:00–17:25 (Track III) – Flatcar Linux 101: A Hands-Free Server OS
