#TechTipThursday: a few journalctl commands worth keeping handy on Rocky Linux.
journalctl -b -- current boot only
journalctl -f -- follow in real time
journalctl -u sshd -- filter by service
journalctl -p err -- errors and above
As a result of recent improvements to our compose process, we've significantly reduced our build time. This allowed us to have a fix for CVE-2026-64531 less than 3 hours after the embargo was lifted. Thanks to Jonathan Dieter for his work and to CIQ who so quickly made this patch available to us! 🎊
Day 2 of #SELinuxFest has kicked off: You should stop by our booth and grab a #RockyLinux tshirt!
Interested in winning a #RaspberryPi ? Come by the booth at 4:45ET with a 60 second pitch of what you'd use Rocky #linux to build!
Weekend challenge: spin up a service you've never run before on Rocky Linux.
Self-hosted password manager, monitoring stack, git server -- whatever's been on your list. What are you setting up?
Whether you're just getting started with Rocky Linux or looking to sharpen your sysadmin skills, the Rocky Linux Administration Guide is worth bookmarking.
It covers everything from initial setup and user management to storage, networking, and security: written by the community, for the community, and freely available.

We had an incredible time at FOSDEM '26! Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table to chat - we appreciate all of you. See ya next year!
SELF 2026 was a reminder of why community matters in open source. Great conversations, two Raspberry Pi giveaways with real purpose behind them, and talks from our team on TTRPGs, burnout, Kubernetes secrets, and GitOps. Full recap on the blog.

This Thanksgiving, we're grateful for everyone in the open source community who keeps the infrastructure running, patches bugs, tests builds, and shows up when things break.
Whether you're working on Rocky, Fedora, CentOS, or any of the projects that power the internet--thank you for deploying servers, packaging software, contributing code, and being there when it matters.
Happy Thanksgiving from the Rocky Linux team.
The beacons are lit, @osuosl@fosstodon.org calls for aid: 🚨 Oregon State University Open Source Lab will shut down this year if funding is not met. 🚨
Among countless other open source projects, OSL supports Rocky Linux by hosting our ppc64le and s390x build environments.
Please consider donating to #OSUOSL. Talk to your organizations about the open source software they depend on that in turn depends on OSL, and ask them to consider donating.
A group of us had the opportunity to attend SCaLE23x last weekend.
The best part? The people! Thank you for the conversations, the stories, and the laughs. Your support means everything to the Rocky Linux community.
See ya next year!
Fosdem '26 is around the corner and the greatest thing is that we (the rockylinux community, heh) will be there, so come visit us, rumour says we have extra fun swag to give away this year to our dear visitors!
See you in Brussels! https://fosdem.org/2026/
