Red Hat releases a virtual Red Hat Enterprise Linux desktop on AWS | ZDNET
Once upon a time, and it wasn't that long ago, "desktops" were terminals to mainframes or midrange computers running Unix. Then along came the PC, and everything changed. That is, until now. Today, Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) is making a comeback. And Red Hat is joining this trend with the general availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Workstations (RHEL WS) on Amazon Web Services, announced Tuesday.

Cockpit Project: Login issues with newer browsers
Firstly, there’s a fix.
In most cases, update. Cockpit 277, released last month, has the fix.
Updating Cockpit should work for Arch, CentOS Stream, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, non-LTS versions of Ubuntu.
If updating doesn’t work (in Ubuntu LTS, some versions of RHEL, Alma Linux, and Rocky Linux), then hopefully it will work very soon. For the time being, please look at the bottom of this post for some workarounds.

EPEL 8 Modularity is going away
EPEL 8 Modularity was set up shortly after the main EPEL 8 release. It attempted to use the Fedora module ecosystem with RHEL modules. The strange mixture of Fedora ecosystem and RHEL modularity never worked properly. There have been routine instances of modules that wouldn’t install, modules that overwrote RHEL modules, Fedora maintainers surprised their modules were in EPEL, and the constant issue that EPEL modules couldn’t depend on RHEL modules.
Many people have attempted to fix EPEL modularity over the years but none of these attempts have worked. At this point the EPEL Steering Committee is saying that the experiment with modules in EPEL has not worked. We are decommissioning EPEL 8 modularity.

A brief history of mktime()
In the beginning, there was… well, we don't know, because we weren't there to tweet about it. Without the internet, it was difficult to arrange things like hunting parties or afternoon tea. Most people woke up with the sun and slept when it was dark. The keeping of time was so sloppy that eventually winter stopped happening in winter, and something had to be done about it. In 1582 Pope Gregory XIII created our modern calendar, and centuries later most countries have adopted it. I'm not kidding about "centuries" either; Saudi Arabia only adopted it in 2016, and Britain waited until 1752 as can be seen by the weird calendar that year...
