@jason It *just* started working for me, so it's probably some kind of cache invalidation issue?

It's not the certificate itself -- the part that is failing is the OCSP response: - Curl error (91): SSL server certificate status verification FAILED for https://cdn.redhat.com/... [OCSP response has expired]

@trini @monsieuricon You can `shazam -SH` and then manually merge FETCH_HEAD.

I'm not an expert on the "electoral college" system, but I believe this is when Russian troll farms are trying to make sure Trump wins, while Chinese troll farms are trying to make sure that Trump loses.

@yassie_j@labyrinth.zone Officially, we tell everyone we use metric, but in reality you need to refer to the Canadian Measurement Flowchart

Rarely have I nodded this much when reading an analysis of the systematic failure of the tech industry and our "market system" as a whole.
The unending need to cut cost (at all cost) to improve "metrics" that have nothing to do with creating sustainable, quality results... Yeah, it's bleak. It's terrifying.

You all think I'm exaggerating, but I distinctly recall ending all sentences with ".<Ctrl-S>" when typing assignments because there was always a high chance of Windows crashing mid-paragraph.

Millions of linux users around the world had their productivity crippled by as they all rushed to read the news, post hot takes & dad jokes to their Mastodon feed.

@kuoirad Hah! I used whatever the college had, and that was Windows 95. :)

I didn't start with Linux until I installed Red Hat 5.1 some time in '97. I remember running "vi" for the first time, then yelling for a while in frustration as everything I tried just beeped at me, and then hitting the "reset" button.

@theron29 maybe, but didn't you have to run two computers just so you could have a single whole OS?

Kids these days! Back in '95, we got a Windows Blue Screen of Death 5-10 times a day, and that was on a *good* day.

Reminds me of that time when, a good few years ago, I woke up to a flurry of monitoring alerts reporting that every single kernel.org system went offline. After hours of scrambling, I managed to track it down to an automatically applied selinux package update that depended on another update in rsyslog that wasn't marked as "security" and so wasn't applied in the same transaction. This caused rsyslog to wedge, and if syslog calls are not returning, that puts the entire system into a massive gridlock.

Anyway, that was the end of automatic OS updates on all critical path systems.
