from what I recall, Amazon Linux 2 doesn't enable selinux and you have to jump through a lot of hoops to enable it.

selinux isn't worth the effort. in particular, if you have anything interesting stored on a web server's filesystem, you are doing cloud very, very wrong

You forget that SELinux is meant to severely restrict what a compromised service can do. Do you have a service on a port, like a database server or application server? SELinux may not protect the service itself (it might, if the exploit depends on syscalls that are disabled) but it can limit the options that a compromised service can take to further compromise the network.

Also, lol at assuming that everything Linux server related is automatically on the cloud and not some dev's unknown server or on-prem service like confluence or an internal application.

Or, even more important, a hardware appliance or some other iot device.

Well I guess I'll use Centos 7 for now and hopefully change jobs before its eol. Its extra funny they announced this a week after centos 6 went eol, I'm sure they are a bunch of fresh centos 8 installs made in the last month thinking they'd get 10 years.

I just spent 10 hours migrating our sites from centos 6 to centos 8.

is there a good hardware video capture device that's supported decently in linux (fedora or debian if we gotta be specific)? i'd be using obs, and computer itself is kind of old (core 2 duo) but i imagine it could handle 720p encoding/streaming on its own

i should probably test obs without said hardware beforehand as well, but the idea is that it'd ONLY handle the video stream not whatever i'm streaming

sb hermit

not like it's the same thing as rhel, but I assume that centos 8 stream is going to be a much more stable and reliable set of packages that something like fedora core is definitely not

I'm probably going to migrate a bunch of servers from ubuntu to centos 8 anyway (and centos 8 stream after that), gonna cross my fingers and hope that things go ok. Worse comes to worse, I can migrate back to ubuntu if poo poo really hits the fan.

i would broadly expect that centos stream will be fine. the point is to give highly paid people who deal with these things the little feeling in their stomach that they may get their sleep or family life interrupted rudely by some poo poo that their rhel-using colleague will never have to deal with. and then downstream knock-ons like e.g. a cloud host needing to be more clear about the difference in what you're running on.

The idea of CentOS being something in between Fedora and RHEL update-wise is actually kind of appealing to me, but this quote from Red Hat’s CTO about what CentOS Stream is supposed to be, from a year or so ago, makes this choice seem a lot more ominous than that:
https://www.zdnet.com/article/red-hat-introduces-rolling-release-centos-stream/
> To be exact, CentOS Stream is an upstream development platform for ecosystem developers. It will be updated several times a day. This is not a production operating system. It's purely a developer's distro. Wright encourages, "users that want to be more tightly involved in driving the future of enterprise Linux, however, to transition to CentOS Stream as the new 'pace-setting' distribution."

thank you, but that looks like a standalone device that also costs as much as making a whole new pc would (3.5k starting) maybe the nano will be cheaper?

also looks good and also offloads encoding, just gotta check that this motherboard has usb3 (this is a very old pc)

it'll take work on your part to get it working with your processes.

Is it worth the pain? It depends on your business, and if you don't have client demand for it then you won't have the resources to integrate and maintain it.

Just because your clients don't see the value in it, doesn't mean it has no value to anybody. It just doesn't have value to you.
