  • Categorical sequences with Pandas for household expense control

    Dealing with household expenses is never pleasant. Although banks try to make it fun these days, it is seldom that their user interface would actually help you to gain insight into how much you actually spend and on what “it all goes”. After all, the more you spend, the more likely you are to apply for a loan, correct?

  • Understanding for-loops in Python

    In this post, we will discuss how for-loops work in Python.

    We will start with a couple of basic examples and its syntax.

    Then we will go through iterables, iterators and the iterator protocol. We will also learn how to create our own iterators.

  • How I learned Machine Learning

    I am a Senior Software Engineer or you could say FullStack Developer currently working at 10Pearls. I had a proven track record for requirements gathering, designing, and developing applications. Excels at learning new technologies and applying them to develop clean and well-structured code. Experienced at working on projects at all stages of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) from idea to development to delivering the completed product.

  • Bash vs. Python: Which language should you use?

    Bash and Python are most automation engineers' favorite programming languages. Both have pros and cons, and sometimes it can be hard to choose which one you should use. The honest answer is: It depends on the task, the scope, the context, and the complexity of the task.

    Let's compare these two languages to get a better understanding of where each one shines.

  • Getting started with Python's cryptography library

    The first rule of cryptography club is: never invent a cryptography system yourself. The second rule of cryptography club is: never implement a cryptography system yourself: many real-world holes are found in the implementation phase of a cryptosystem as well as in the design.

    One useful library for cryptographic primitives in Python is called simply cryptography. It has both "secure" primitives as well as a "hazmat" layer. The "hazmat" layer requires care and knowledge of cryptography and it is easy to implement security holes using it. We will not cover anything in the "hazmat" layer in this introductory article!

  • Unity Is Growing Their LLVM Compiler Team As They Try To Make C# Faster Than C++ [Ed: Reminder that Unity has always been a Microsoft Mono Trojan horse inside GNU/Linux and elsewhere]

    With game engines becoming increasingly advanced, Unity Technologies is looking to expand their compiler team with more LLVM expertise.

    Unity's Burst compiler is aiming to deliver greater performance out of a subset of C# and even aspiring for it to outperform C++ code... "Unlocking performance for a subset of C# code beyond what C++ has been usually able to do" and in doing so they are translating .NET code into "highly efficient native code" using LLVM. Some more details on Burst via this recent presentation.

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.
