RE: https://wikis.world/@legoktm/116365775366782119

Incredible, someone at Red Hat is apparently reading my toots and slowly scrubbing their website of references to their "compressing the kill cycle" project.

Here's the file they don't want you to read: https://web.archive.org/web/20260402155236/https://www.redhat.com/rhdc/managed-files/ve-compress-the-kill-cycle-detail-693397pr-202402-en_3.pdf

p.s. if you work at Red Hat and have inside info on what's going on, my Signal is "@legoktm.12345" - happy to protect you.

@legoktm what the…

Compress the kill cycle with Red Hat Device Edge

[…] Red Hat® Device Edge embeds captured, analyzed, and federated data sets in a manner that positions the warfighter to use artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) to increase the accuracy of airborne targeting and mission-guidance systems. […]

Opportunity: Use edge technology to defeat the adversary

[…]

  • Delivering near real-time data from sensor pods directly to airmen, accelerating the
    sensor-to-shooter cycle.
  • […]
  • Sharing near real-time sensor fusion data with joint and multinational forces to increase
    awareness, survivability, and lethality

I repeat, what the… 🤬

My heart bleeds. My first Linux distro was RedHat.

IBM also built tech for the Nazis, and all sorts of weapon shit since. So this isn't exactly out of character for them.

@legoktm Was just alerted to the fact that apparently you can still request it from The Register

(I'm guessing that link will disappear soon, too)

@[email protected] @[email protected] Interesting that it seems that this is also a whitepaper one might just request from... The Register? Even though Carahsoft has deleted it on their own webpage. Guess they don't want to deal with the Palantír comparison. https://intelligence.theregister.com/paper/view/15812/compress-the-kill-cycle-with-red-hat-device-edge

I find it incredibly amusing that Ansible is being advertised here as something that gets the job done "in minutes"

>With Red Hat Ansible, Air Force teams and systems integrators can deploy and decommission infrastructure components in minutes (not hours or days)

@patryk @legoktm Technically speaking, "200 minutes" falls under that umbrella.

Yeah, that kind of shitty initialism tracks pretty well with the defense industry.

>Accelerating the sensor-to-shooter cycle

Yuck.

@legoktm to quote https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/NZJXL3LXAI5F5YDTWD5M6WKYLMAD3YXC/

"""I wanted to acknowledge the link you pointed out:
https://www.redhat.com/en/engage/compress-the-kill-cycle-overview

You will note it now 404s.

I am a member of FESCo and I am also a Red Hatter. I was first made aware of the link this morning by a RH colleague as a result of your posting it here. We agreed that the content of that page was not in alignment with Red Hat's values, and I took it the appropriate internal teams - they agreed, and took it down immediately.

Thank you for alerting us to this and giving us the opportunity to remove it and examine the review processes that allowed it through in the first place."""

@knurd42 @legoktm so the web content is not aligned with RH values, but the actual contract with the US Air force is? If they remove the post but not the contract, then what moves RH CLT is not values, but marketing.

@legoktm alarmed to learn of this. It would be a good idea to archive this outside the Internet Archive too, since sites can request to have content removed from there.
