https://peertube.linuxrocks.online/videos/watch/a9c20fbb-65ac-4d57-b439-fcb1883107b2 Red Hat announced Hummingbird at Summit back in May. Five months later there are Hummingbird containers in the wild, a spin of Fedora Linux built on the same principles, and a full Bluefin ISO built on top of it. Scott McCarty and Jorge Castro join Eric to sort out what actually got announced, what each piece is, and how much has changed since. We get into why the industry suddenly cares about patching speed, the difference between risk based and compliance based security, what separates a container image from a bootable one, and what it takes to point an existing home lab at Hummingbird. Jorge explains how the first cut of Utah Raptor got built in a bar on a dare, and how 13 people turned that into a shippable Bluefin in 22 days. Scott and Jorge both have an ask at the end: tell them what you would actually use this for. 🔗 Episode Resources Fedora Hummingbird on Fedora Discussion: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedora-hummingbird-taking-the-hummingbird-model-to-the-full-operating-system/191184, Fedora Hummingbird on Fedora Forge: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/hummingbird, Red Hat Hardened Images: https://images.redhat.com/, Chasing the holy grail, why Hummingbird aims for near zero CVEs: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/chasing-holy-grail-why-red-hats-hummingbird-project-aims-near-zero-cves, Project Bluefin: https://docs.projectbluefin.io/, Utah, Bluefin built on Fedora Hummingbird: https://docs.projectbluefin.io/utah/, Fedora bootc documentation: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/bootc/, RamaLama: https://github.com/containers/ramalama, goose: https://github.com/block/goose, Background on Claude Mythos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Mythos, Scott McCarty: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fatherlinux/, 🔖 Chapters 00:00 Nobody wants that conversation 02:09 Scott McCarty, from Podman to Hummingbird 03:53 Jorge Castro, Bluefin and bootc 06:53 Back to Summit, what actually got announced 10:07 The Mythos moment and the end of slow patching 15:52 What this means if you just use Linux 19:59 Utah Raptor, and 13 people in 22 days 21:49 Home labs, local models and agents 28:09 From UBI to Hummingbird, the recap 30:05 Risk based versus compliance based patching 40:25 What the project needs from you 47:53 Wait, we are not done 🎬 New to Fedora?
