Successfully upgraded my #Lenovo X13 Gen 6 (AMD) from #Fedora 43 to Fedora 44 last week, hours after the release. The upgrade went flawlessly (and fixed a few nasty bugs for me). Big thanks to the @fedora community for keeping things so seamless. 💻✨

New helper tools for @inwx users: We created a small repo for practical #INWX admin helpers.
First addition: inwx-create-user.py, a script to quickly create INWX sub-accounts and assign limited roles.
Useful if you need dedicated API users, for example for ACME / Let’s Encrypt DNS-01 clients.
