We are now officially using @forgejo! The Fedora Forge is ready for contributors to start migrating to. Cutoff for switching from Pagure is by Flock to Fedora 2026.

New chapter :)

The forge is our new home. – Fedora Community Blog

While Pagure.io has been a vital part of our community for many years, the time has come to retire our homegrown forge and transition to this powerful new tool.

I still can't even that my now nearly 80 year old mom has been on Fedora on a thinkpad e520 (2011) for a decade and it all just works.

I checked her laptop just now and it's fully up to date on fedora 43, so she's done like 20 version upgrades autonomously too. The battery has degraded a little but the whole thing still works fine and she's very happy with it.

This is how things should be, this is peak computing tbh.

Reports indicate russia used a new missile, “Izdeliye-30,” with a warhead of about 800 kg in the strike on Kharkiv.

One can almost imagine the thought process: "would that be enough to obliterate a five-story apartment building? Let’s find out."

Bastards.

Russia struck a five-story residential building in Kharkiv with a ballistic missile, destroying it and the lives of the people who lived there.

Seven bodies have been recovered from the rubble so far, including a 13-year-old girl and a boy. Rescuers continue searching.

Three people were killed and 16 injured in a russian airstrike on a residential building in Druzhkivka, Donetsk Oblast, on 2 March.

The last victim was recovered from the rubble on the third day of search efforts.

Thirteen more residential buildings were damaged.

Do you know what #RouterFreedom is?

It is the right of users to choose and operate their own routers, modems, and other equipment used for internet connection.

It is important for user autonomy, competition, and privacy as it enables users to run #FreeSoftware operating systems on their routers and modems.

Dang that is a good lookin' desktop.  I switched over to #Fedora from the SUSE and it was super smooth.

The very few issues I ran into with SUSE have disappeared now that I  am on Fedora.  Hopefully this will be the end game for this PC.
