  • Valve tweaks Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Danger Zone to be focused more on duos

    Valve are continuing to tweak Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Danger Zone, the Battle Royale mode they added back in December last year.

    With the latest update, they seem to be putting a bigger focus on playing with others. By default, the game will now have a pre-ticked box to match you up with another player. If you untick it, you will be alone but others will still be in duos unless it matches you with a few other solo players. I have tested this and in a few games it will split half between groups and solo players so it was quite interesting to see.

    The 1.8 update is now live, adding in the second playable world which has many new enemy types, more opportunities to level up and try out different perks, new tunes and so on. Naturally, it fixes a few bugs that came up too.

    "This update is very important and exciting for our team. This is the first time the second world is available to a large group of gamers and we hope to get a lot of feedback," says Risto Ihalainen, the project lead of Gerty.

    With completely over the top action and some great tunes, the co-op musical bullet-hell game Just Shapes & Beats is now available on Linux.

    I will likely take a look at this one properly soon, with local and online co-op it should be pretty easy to have some fun with it.

    The big update to the awesome recording and livestreaming software OBS Studio is now out, with tons of goodies included.

    Some highlights from this release include Limiter and Expander audio filters, a VAAPI video encoder for Linux, multi-track audio support to FFmpeg output, an option to automatically remux recordings to MP4, an option to change the OBS base/output resolution to the size of a source in the right-click context menu of the source and so on.

  • OBS Studio 23.0 Released With VA-API Video Encoding, New Audio Filters

    OBS Studio 23.0 brings a number of improvements to its Windows version, including NVIDIA NVENC encoding, but it also has some exciting work in general as well as on the Linux side. The Linux version of OBS Studio 23.0 now has support for the VA-API interface to allow for GPU-based video acceleration for those using the Intel VA-API driver most commonly or also as the video acceleration state tracker in Gallium3D as an alternative there to the VDPAU support. This is great news for anyone looking to record or livestream from Linux desktops with Intel graphics, the performance should be far better than previously.

  • 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.
