Bose is open-sourcing its old smart speakers instead of bricking them https://www.theverge.com/news/858501/bose-soundtouch-smart-speakers-open-source
Bose is open-sourcing its old smart speakers instead of bricking them

Bose is ending cloud support for its SoundTouch speakers, but they’ll remain functional now thanks to an open-source API and local controls.

Ok work is wrapped for the year! Time for projects!!!!

That grinding you just heard was the synchronizers between the contexts in my brain wearing out from all of the hard and sudden shifts.

So. one of the things that I am busy with, is part of a lab that will be used at conferences and events around RHEL Image mode (bootc), on building compliance and hardening into the base image. Pretty neat stuff.

You can use OpenSCAP in the Containerfile, and harden the OS before it ever hits hardware. On the other side of it, you get an immutable OS, thats configured to your compliance profile. Pretty cool.

But its due tomorrow, which is what makes it stressful. :P

I am super excited to announce that I will be running a RHEL Skills based Capture The Flag competition at Red Hat Summit this year! Folks who attend summit should visit me at the RHEL booth as early as Monday afternoon, and learn how to participate. I and a few of the other RHEL TMM's have cooked up some fun challenges for you, and a bunch of Red Hat, and Boston trivia. I hope to see you there!
