Ah, you're right! Somehow I "autocorrected" that when reading TFA, now it makes more sense.

Best I can tell the article only decries the deprecation of x86-64-v2 in RHEL, and says that for that reason Alma is not a viable solution... Buuuut here is the fix: http://mirror.grid.uchicago.edu/pub/linux/alma&#

Okay, but Alma rebuilds with x86-64-v2 as a separate ISO, and they even build EPEL packages with support for it: https://almalinux.org/blog/2025-06-26-epel-v2-now-covers-alm... So the original commenter's question

Regarding internet infrastructure, the fiber optic network seems to be quite robust these days. There are still places where it isn't available, but compared to e.g. the US it's another world entirely. Even small cities typically

I'm not qualified to comment too heavily on Netflix's infra, but I'm fairly sure that they don't _exclusively_ use AWS. There are things they run there, sure, but I understand that their actual content distribution is ru

Aha, thanks! So I think that raises the question of whether e.g. RHEL is affected. Technically it could be argued that they don't add any additional restrictions, but I wonder if Colorado will see it that way.

But the text says "or," not "and." So by my interpretation if you process user data but are available via "free, public" repo, you're not covered. I presume "free" is defined elsewhere in the tex

Which, to be fair, is easy to do because they used a triple-negative. Rephrased, they meant to say "there is no reason to remove support for quantum-vulnerable algorithms in the near future." IMO that's much less likely to be

Uhh I don't think that financial incentives are a valid reason to believe something is healthier or safer than an alternative. Unless I have missed some sarcasm.

True, and I don't know for sure either way. But in either case Twitter will notice it and post about it , I suppose. Honestly freedom.gov is almost the least annoying thing to be swept up in this, for my part.

At 11.30 CET it resolved for me on DIGI ES, but as a sibling comment pointed out, there's no soccer game on at the moment, so that's probably why. As for why it's blocked, isn't this website planned to be related to cens

Spanish ISPs comply because Spanish judges issue legal injunctions that obligate them to institute these blocks. Sure, Movistar/Telefónica would do it anyway (I understand that they're the rightsholder in this case), but other ISP

Tuna-Fish said that instead of backing up the keys from your devices, you should create a specific backup key that is only ever used in case you lose access to all your devices. This is indeed best practice because it allows you to alert ba
