Software

In continuing our series of applications that are ready to work with the Librem 5, we would like to announce that Fragments is now fully working! With Fragments, you get to have the ability to use BitTorrent to download large files. At Purism, we like using torrent to efficiently download PureOS or Debian operating systems, because what’s more fun than torrenting on the go?

  • Producing an application for both desktop and mobile [Ed: Gap between laptop/desktop and "mobile" being blurred due to screen resolutions and speed factors]

    These days applications are generally moving away from the desktop and toward the mobile space. But taking a multi-platform desktop application and adding two mobile platforms into the mix is difficult to do, as Dirk Hohndel described in his linux.conf.au 2019 talk. Hohndel maintains the Subsurface dive log application, which has added mobile support over the past few years; he wanted to explain the process that the project went through to support all of those platforms. As the subtitle of the talk, "Developing for multiple platforms without losing your mind", indicates, it is a hard problem to solve sanely.

    Hohndel noted that he rarely has slides for his talks but that he makes an exception for Subsurface talks. He has spoken about Subsurface at LCA several times along the way and uses photos from his most recent dives in the slides. He is "like the grandparent who invites you for dinner and then forces you to look at their vacation pictures"; this year's photos were from dives in Fiji the previous week.

    Linus Torvalds (who attended the talk) started the Subsurface project in 2011 when he was unable to work on the kernel for a few weeks due to the kernel.org breakin. A year or so later, Hohndel took over as the maintainer. He has chronicled the project in LCA talks in 2013 through 2015, but only returned to the conference in 2019. Things have changed quite a bit in that interval.

    There is a generational change among divers (along with many of the rest of us) regarding the use of laptops; younger divers do not want to bring a laptop along on their trips. Instead, they want to use their phones. Even a tablet is too big to bring along for many. That means they are looking for a mobile app. Most new users of Subsurface come in via the mobile app and only later start using the desktop version because it makes some operations (e.g. editing) much easier.

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.
