Until now, the OSTree-based updates cadence has matched this, but we're changing the default OSTree update stream to match the Fedora Atomic Host image release cadence (once every two weeks). --- In Fedora we release a new Atomic Host approximately every two weeks. In the past this has meant that we bless and ship new ISO, QCOW, and Vagrant images that can then be used to install and or start a new Atomic Host server. [Read More]

As you know, in the past I have configured my computers to be able to snapshot and rollback the entire system by leveraging BTRFS snapshots, a tool called snapper, and a patched version of Fedora's grub2 package. I have updated the patchset (patches taken from SUSE) for Fedora 25's version of grub and the results are available in this git repo. [Read More]

Additionally, it was actually recommended to not do this for long running processes because you'll have two runtimes that may work against each other eventually (garbage collection, etc). Be wary. Introduction Back in July I went to Go Camp that was a part of Open Camps in NYC. [Read More]
