10 yrs in #RedHat today. Feel like I need to write something profound. I love my job not just because it involves #opensource and #community, but mostly because of the wonderful colleagues I work with & amazing managers I work for. I'm thankful for #LifeatRedHat. That's all I have to say about that.

Nominated our CTO for an internal point reward under the "Transparency" heading. I didn't feel that a question during an internal AMA was answered fully. Shared the email I sent him in the AMA Slack channel. He took the time to call me and discuss it further, and shared, from the heart, the difficult task that so many corporate leaders have of balancing the desire to be transparent while facing the dangers of information leaks and the vocal court of critical, internal opinion. #lifeatredhat

Throwback to January 2023 where we Red Hatters visited Dublin. #LifeAtRedHat

(Yes, that's the same glitzy jacket I wore at our Munich Office Christmas party this week, hence the throwback :)

I will now work on Red Hat internals to get this backport become official and hopefully distributed to all Red Hat Enterprise Linux users as part of an upcoming regular update. You should be able to follow that process at https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-132338

So I shared my problems with Apple Time Machine backups not working with a Linux server running Samba. Turns out it was a known problem and needed a backport from a patch for Samba 4.23 to 4.22, which was added in 4.22.6, but my Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 version is 4.22.4. So. I got test RPMs with the backported patch in 4.22.4 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 from my colleague @cryptomilk at Red Hat and — it works :) Yay! #LifeAtRedHat

It's been a few years since I last used `rpm -Uvh --force` to install some test packages straight from the Red Hat build system to hopefully be able to report back that the fix works. (UPDATE: It worked https://social.wildeboer.net/@jwildeboer/115646062725748375 ) It's one of the reasons I love working at Red Hat. Being able to identify a bug and the possible reason, talk to the developers who immediately get it, getting a fix to test and finally getting that fix published in the next round of official updates. #LifeAtRedHat

The first bit of snow on my bicycle and inside the soothing blinkenlights of the demo lab in our Munich office. #LifeAtRedHat
