  • Announcing the general availability of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.2

    Today we are announcing the general availability of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Appplication Platform (EAP) 7.2, which brings greater compliance with Java Enterprise Edition (EE) 8, JDK 11/Java SE 11, and further support for Microsoft Windows and enterprise Java microservices. With this release, Red Hat is continuing our commitment to Java EE 8 and Jakarta EE, the new home for cloud-native Java, a community-driven specification under the Eclipse Foundation.

    JBoss EAP is an open source Java EE 8-compliant application server and is used by organizations around the world to deploy and manage business-critical enterprise Java applications, whether in bare metal, virtualized, containerized, on-premises, private, public or hybrid cloud environments. JBoss EAP 7.2 is Java EE 8 certified, which means new functionality as well as updates to a variety of existing capabilities.

  • Coding on a Chromebook: I’m all in with Crostini and the Pixel Slate

    One of the most read posts on About Chromebooks is from last April when I detailed how I was coding with my Pixelbook. Technically, I wasn’t coding on the Pixelbook, because my solution was to remotely access a Raspberry Pi that had Python installed on my local network. Thanks to the addition of Linux containers through Project Crostini in Chrome OS, I don’t have to rely on — or be limited to — another computing device for my coding.

  • Reflections on HPC Past, Present, and Future

    What you need are the tools to enable you to use these systems effectively. This comes down to engineering your network, your storage, and so forth, to meet your criteria. Part of this work is to iterate quickly, which does imply common toolsets across environments. And it generally suggests local resources for development, that at least mirror some aspects of the large remote systems. Again, to minimize friction.

    Watching the toolchains grow up has been fairly uplifting. You can write your own CUDA code to handle GPU work. Or, in ML, you can leverage higher level toolkits such as TensorFlow, MXnet, PyTorch, etc. For a number of reasons, ML folks seem to have converged around Python as their lingua franca, though given its many issues (GIL, format as structure, etc.), the door is open to other systems.

    One of my favorite is Julia language. It has a wonderful interface to GPUs via the JuliaGPU project. Unlike Python, it doesn’t have a GIL, as it is compiled and built for parallelism, nor does it have structure by indentation. It has a native GPU compiler built in to its LLVM stack, meaning that it can optimize not merely for the CPUs, but also for the GPUs. It is rapidly maturing, so there are a few rough spots, but I expect tools like this to become more standard for HPC applications.

  • What’s New In Python 3.7.2: Look At 7 Features That You Should Know

    There’s a lot of new material in Python Latest version and much of it is pretty simple. For example, str, bytes and bytearray now have an isascii() function that returns ‘true’ if they only include ASCII characters.

    In this article, we list down 7 essential features of the latest version which Python aspirants must get updated with.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future Tech

The metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. Read more

  • How to install go1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04 – NextGenTips

    In this tutorial, we are going to explore how to install go on Ubuntu 22.04 Golang is an open-source programming language that is easy to learn and use. It is built-in concurrency and has a robust standard library. It is reliable, builds fast, and efficient software that scales fast. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel-type systems enable flexible and modular program constructions. Go compiles quickly to machine code and has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. In this guide, we are going to learn how to install golang 1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04. Go 1.19beta1 is not yet released. There is so much work in progress with all the documentation.

  • 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.
