RedHat is expanding the developer program making it easier than ever to access RHEL! Now individuals can run 16 RHEL servers under this new program. Brian Exelbierd joins us this hour to discuss this new program and how it addresses many of the concerns raised in the transition from CentOS to CentOS Stream.

Email 1 - Signal vs Telegram - Eddie
- Telegram vs Signal for messaging?
- Telegram client is open source and supports Linux
- Telegram server is closed source
- Signal is more secure but requires a phone number
- Phone numbers can reveal your real identity
- Moxie Marlinspike (Matthew Rosenfeld) - really particular about 3rd party clients, makes it not very inviting
- link
- Not so great when your playing with alternative operating systems (SailfishOS PostmarketOS), Signal has to make a client, rather than just supporting an API
- Use Element/Matrix
- Setup your own server
- Sign up for paid hosting EMS
- Sign up for free on a community server like Linux Delta

With Fedora CoreOS, you get all the benefits of Fedora (podman, cgroups v2, SELinux) packaged in a minimal automatically updating system thanks to rpm-ostree.
Running a Matrix service requires the following software:
Synapse: a Matrix server
PostgreSQL: a database
Nginx: a web server
Let’s Encrypt: a certificate provider
Element: a Matrix web client
