I'm generally the antonym of 'trendy'. :D

CentOS's original founder is doing just that. The churn on GitHub is enough that I have quieted notifications. We'll see is there is any success there. Tall order.

Rolling releases are fine and dandy for personal systems. Production servers? Oh hell no.

The CentOS thing has made a lot of people look at Ubuntu LTS.

A monolithic entity like that at the core of the OS goes counter to what made Unix Unix. It's a philosophical beef. Also, early on, their binary logging was idiotic. That has improved quite a lot over time. I will admit that.

Thankfully, CentOS's founder realizes the folly and comes to the rescue.

I had a sneaking suspicion they'd pull this eventually. Turning CentOS into RHEL's perpetual beta. Which, I thought, Fedora Core was more suitable for but oh well.

NOTE: The box doesn't see much use now as the stuff is mostly in private GitHub repos now. One less thing to have to admin.

I transitioned the internal GIT repos and a few other things to a FreeBSD box back when the systemd nonsense irritated me. No regrets. Just means having to switch gears a bit shelling in.

Lesson re-learned.

Mobile hotspot on Windows 10 had issues. Devices could connect, showed no errors, but could not access the Internet.

So, I stupidly play "Google the issue"

I knew clicking "Reset networking", resetting the TCP/IP system from a admin powershell session, etc would do nothing. But, I did it anyway.

Then, I got mad and did the dumb thing I thought would work. A thing that I should not have had to do.

I forced the DNS server addresses.

Everything works peachy.
