Changing Times , Riddles of Rochester - Flock 2024

Epilogue Flock is the annual event for Fedora and this years marks 8yrs of me attending. Flock has taught me so much over the years and this year was just little it special. The direction Fedora Project takes from this moment on will be significant. The contributor base it amasses, might feel overwhelmed and debate the value to cost ratio but this all is part of much bigger picture. The change(s) will help the project to have leaner, meaner and lighter infra workload. The decent increase in the quality of life of contributor and smoother contributor convergence (in-sync) with rest of Open Source life! The prep I flew in from Kolkata,India (CCU). I will spare you folks the 40hrs of madness and travel shenanigans.  This time a lot was on my mind, from the redhat side of things .. the impending change in org structure.

Context Please Well, all of us has heard about the new shiny $shib. When the pump is so high, news and media just happen to cover it. That's the normal.

One of most hyped thing about mining is, we need Graphics Cards [GPU] and a lot of GPUs worthing lakhs in my country. Amount of money which is very hard to shell out at one go.  So, since sometime, miners have been relying heavily on a pool. A pool is collection of computing power which will together mine of a certain type of currency.
