  • Take the fight to the seas as Hearts of Iron IV: Man the Guns is out

    The latest expansion for the World War II grand strategy game Hearts of Iron IV is out with Man the Guns. This arrives along side another large patch, as usual for Paradox games they continue updating the game for everyone.

    The patch, 1.6 "Ironclad" has quite a number of bug fixes as well as new features. One of the biggest changes is the introduction of Fuel as a required resources for most moving things with engines. Ships and planes can now be trained, naval production went through a revamp, admirals now have personality traits and a whole lot more. You can see the full patch notes here.

  • ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove is out and it has Linux support

    I must admit this was quite a surprise! ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove just released and it has Linux support.

    After a successful Kickstarter campaign way back in 2015, where HumaNature Studios managed to get over $500K from almost 9K backers, ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove was just released today after originally being due in 2017 but it sadly suffered a delay. Not all delays are bad though of course, as long as the game is good.

  • Something for the weekend: HITMAN 2’s first mission is now free and works great in Steam Play on Linux

    IO Interactive are continuing to improve HITMAN 2 and to let people have a little taste, the first mission is now entirely free.

    Thanks to Steam Play, it works really well on Linux. Without spending a penny, there’s hours of fun you can have here. So even if you’re holding out for a port from Feral Interactive again like with the previous game, you don’t even need to break any “no tux no bux” rule here to get a feel for it (not that Feral have even teased a port for this one—sadly). For those wanting to dip their toes in Steam Play, this is a fine choice.

  • Single-player god game 'Godhood' from Abbey Games is fully funded and heading to Linux

    Prepare to flex those godly muscles of yours as Abbey Games (Reus and Renowned Explorers) have managed to get Godhood funded.

    Their Kickstarter campaign just recently ended, with that they managed to get just over their goal of €50K from around 1.5K backers so they only really just scraped by with it.

  • Destiny or Fate, a deck-building roguelike with similarities to Slay the Spire has Linux support

    For those already done with Slay the Spire, you might want to take a look at Destiny or Fate. Directly inspired by Slay the Spire, Magic: The Gathering and Hearthstone the inspiration is clear but it does plenty of things differently too.

  • d9vk, a project based on DXVK for Direct3D 9 over Vulkan

    d9vk, from developer Joshua Ashton who works for both CodeWeavers and the game developer Puny Human, is a new personal project aimed at running Direct3D 9 over Vulkan.

    If the name isn't familiar, Ashton was also working on the DXUP project which had an aim of getting D3D9 and D3D10 over to D3D11 to use with DXVK. However, when speaking to Ashton earlier, they told me they decided to go with forking DXVK as they wanted to make use of different parts of DXVK that could be reused, rather than reinventing the whole wheel again.

D9VK Forming As Direct3D 9 Over Vulkan Based On DXVK

  • D9VK Forming As Direct3D 9 Over Vulkan Based On DXVK

    Joshua Ashton, the developer who had been working on "DXUP" as a Direct3D 9/10 to D3D11 translation layer so that the output could be fed to DXVK for running on Vulkan is now developing the "D9VK" project.

    D9VK is a fork of the DXVK code-base adding Direct3D 9 to Vulkan support directly. Two days ago he began committing his work to the D9VK repository on GitHub. The DXVK code-base is based on the v1.0 state of the project with so far having a few dozen patches on top for working out the initial Direct3D 9 bits. It's unclear if this is intended as a temporary fork or if ultimately the plan will be to try to merge back with DXVK, assuming upstream is interested.

  • 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.
