Jens Kuehnel: podman-compose and systemd
I’m using more and more podman and especially podman-compose. podman-compose is not part of RHEL, but it is available in EPEL and it is in Fedora. Of course I run it as a non-root user. It really works great, but creating systemd unit files for podman-compose is ugly. I had it running for about a year, but I wanted to have a look for something better. This blog post talks about Fedora (tested with 39), RHEL8 and RHEL9. All have some smaller problems, but sometimes different ones.
I wanted to try Quadlet-podman for over a year. This week I had a closer look and found that it is more complicate than I thought. I really like the simple one-file solution of a compose file. I found podlet to migrate compose files to quadlet. (Use podlet musl, if you have problem with the glibc of the gnu version).

Kevin Fenzi: Some musings on matrix
There’s a bit of confusion about how fedoraproject has setup their servers, but it all hopefully makes sense: We have 2 managed servers (from EMS). One of them is the ‘fedora.im’ homeserver and one is the ‘fedoraproject.org’ homeserver. All users get accounts on the fedora.im homeserver. This allows them to use matrix and make rooms and do all the things that they might need to do. Having fedoraproject.org (with only a small number of admin users) allows us to control that homeserver. We can use it to make rooms ‘official’ (or at least more so) and published in the fedoraproject.org space. Since you have to be logged in from a specific homeserver before you can add local addresses in it, this nicely restricts ‘official’ rooms/addresses. It also means those rooms will be federated/synced between at least fedoraproject.org and fedora.im (but also it means we need to make sure to have at least one fedoraproject.org user in those rooms for that to happen).

Fedora Magazine ☛ Fedora Magazine: Contribute at the Fedora GNU/Linux Test Week for GNOME 46
The Desktop/Workstation team is working on final integration for GNOME46. This version was just recently released, and will arrive soon in Fedora Linux. As a result, the Fedora Desktop x QA teams are organizing a test week from Monday, February 19, 2024 to Monday, Feburary 26, 2023. The wiki page in this article contains links to the test images you’ll need to participate. Please continue reading for details.
GNOME 46 has landed and will be part of the change for Fedora GNU/Linux 40. Since GNOME is the default desktop environment for Fedora Workstation, and thus for many Fedora users, this interface and environment merits a lot of testing. The Workstation Working Group and Fedora Quality team have decided to split the test week into two parts: [...]
