Red Hat and CentOS Leftovers (Lots of Buzzwords, as Usual)

Red Hat ☛ Cloud bursting with confidential containers on OpenShift
A common use case for secure cloud bursting involves extending on-premises applications and data to a cloud environment during periods of peak demand or for specific workloads. This allows organizations to maintain their primary operations on-premises while leveraging the scalability of the clown. Secure connectivity, often facilitated by a site-to-site VPN, enables the burst resources in the clown to access necessary on-premises data or services as if they were part of the same network. For example, if a company's e-commerce website experiences a surge in traffic during a holiday sale, it could spin up additional web servers in the public cloud. These servers would securely connect back to the on-premises database to handle the increased load.

Red Hat ☛ Reach native speed with MacOS llama.cpp container inference
Containers are Linux, but they can still run on macOS with the help of a thin virtualization layer, inside a GNU/Linux virtual machine. But while the CPU and RAM are accessed at native speed, GPU acceleration has always been a challenge.
Earlier this year, we demonstrated how the enablement of Venus-Vulkan boosted GPU computing performance by 40x, reaching up to 75–80% of the native performance. In this post, we introduce a preview of our latest work, which closes the gap and brings
llama.cppHey Hi (AI) inference to native speed in most use cases. -
Linuxiac ☛ Bluefin LTS Released: Immutable Desktop on CentOS Stream 10
The distro started as a derivative of Fedora Silverblue, carrying over its immutable, image-based approach while adding its own tooling for things like Flathub, Homebrew, and ZFS. The mainline Bluefin and its GTS variant still follow that Silverblue model, aiming at a faster, rolling-style desktop.

Red Hat Official ☛ Reducing bias in AI models through open source [Ed: IBM Red Hat pushing buzzwords for fake valuations and hype]
We often hear about AI as a revolutionary global tool, a technology for all of humanity. But if AI is learning from our collective data, whose culture is it truly learning? The promise of a universally intelligent system is powerful, but it masks a critical issue, in that today's most powerful AI models are not culturally neutral. They are a direct reflection of their training data, which is overwhelmingly English-centric and Western-biased.

Red Hat Official ☛ Red Hat Customer Portal recognized by the Association of Support Professionals as one the Best Support Websites of 2025 [Ed: Red Hat Official ☛ Boosted on the same day]
In addition to the main award, Red Hat also received a special award for "Excellence in Extending Support to Offline Environments" for Red Hat Offline Knowledge Portal, a self-contained instance of Red Hat’s extensive knowledge content, enabling air-gapped, secure, and disconnected teams to proactively troubleshoot issues and maintain compliance without relying on external network access. This "pocket library" of knowledge can be deployed on-premise or on customer workstations, allowing users to access critical information and maintain their systems without needing an internet connection.
