  • Firefox 66 Makes It Easier to Search Open Tabs

    A new feature in Firefox 66 makes it easier to search open tabs to find a specific tab.

    While this addition won’t change the way the world uses the internet, it will improve things for those who have a crazy amount of tabs open at the same time.

    Firefox truncates the tab title the more tabs that are open, leaving users to rely on favicon spotting to identify tabs. That works well …Unless you have multiple pages from the same site open.

    Firefox 66 adds a new shortcut to search open tabs in Firefox direct from the tab overflow menu. Tab-addicts will be able to quickly find a tab they know they is open, but can’t figure out where.

  • Prevent Eye Strain While Working On Your Linux Desktop With Safe Eyes

    Eye strain is an eye condition that includes symptoms like fatigue, blurred vision, headache, double vision, or pain in or around the eyes. Safe Eyes prevents eye strain by reminding you to take breaks, while also showing some simple eye exercises during each break. You can set it to allow postponing and skip breaks, or disable skipping breaks completely.

    While most of the predefined break exercises are eye-related, these are configurable, so you can use any text you want for both short and long breaks.

    About two weeks ago, Safe Eyes got an update that added a couple of new buttons on the break screen (in the top right-hand side corner), which let users pause media players or lock the screen manually, even after a short break.

  • 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.
