    A nice way to end the week on, the DRM free store GOG are giving away copies of SOMA for 48 hours so act fast. Note: Apparently the claim button on the game's page doesn't work, there's also a banner you can use on the GOG homepage.

  • Futuristic FPS Interstellar Marines is still alive with Update 28 to feature a new enemy

    Interstellar Marines used to be one of the most promising first-person shooters which sadly died due to a lack of funding. It's limping along, with a new video to show off a new enemy.

  • Voxel Turf, the block-based urban sandbox game adds in a Light Plane, Airfields and more

    I have to admit, I've had a silly amount of fun in Voxel Turf. A game that combines the block-building that made Minecraft popular with vehicles, buildings, gang wars and all sorts.

    The latest update is a pretty big one adding in a Light Plane, a Commercial Airfield along with a version for bandits, Steam Workshop support for maps, a massive map that covers the world which you can grab from the Steam Workshop to play, the ability to generate in-game maps from bitmaps and more.

  • The survival roguelike 'Wayward' recently added some interesting new ways to play

    Wayward is a name I honestly hadn't heard for some time, after following it years ago I lost track. Development seems to be going well!

    For those who've not heard of it before, it's a (deep breath) "challenging turn-based, top-down, wilderness survival roguelike".

    With a recent update, the developers focused on making it more interesting to play through more than a few times. They've introduced two new game modes to help with this. The first, is "Custom Mode" allowing you to tweak all sorts of things to your liking. The second, is the difficult Challenge Mode which adds in random modifiers aimed at quick games.

  • The big update to Dead Cells is out offering custom game modes and more

    Dead Cells, the seriously good action-platformer 'RogueVania' had a huge update pushed out recently making it ever more awesome. Now our little break is over, I've sat down with it for a little while longer and came away impressed with the update.

    The Custom Game feature is very interesting and by far the biggest feature in the update. This allows you to tweak a lot of different things in the game, to really play it how you want. Choose your starting gear, load the same seed as a friend, unlock all sorts of mutations and so on. They don't give you the keys to the kingdom easily though, you do need to progress a little in the game first to unlock it. As I understand it, you need to defeat a boss named Hand of the King to get access. Not that I've gotten even close to doing so mind you, it's a real challenge.

  • The adventure platformer Celeste is going to get some new levels after selling 500K copies

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
