  • Imperator: Rome has a big free 'Cicero' update out now with some major changes

    Paradox have just launched a big free update to their struggling new strategy game Imperator: Rome, which might help to turn things around for it.

    Today the free Cicero update launched, which Paradox said lets "the player focus on political consequences and imperial governance instead of waiting for numbers to grow"

  • Space Grunts 2 combines a turn-based rogue-like with card-based battles, out now

    Orangepixel just released their latest game Space Grunts 2, keeping a similar approach to the original with the roguelike experience and turn-based battles only this time with cards.

    If the name is not familiar, Orangepixel also made games including: Heroes of Loot, Space Grunts, Ashworld, Gunslugs:Rogue Tactics and more. They've supported Linux for a long time and Space Grunts 2 continues that.

  • D3D9 over Vulkan gets even better as D9VK 0.21 'Lollihop' is out

    Developer Joshua Ashton continues doing some great work, as another release of the D3D9 to Vulkan layer D9VK is out.

    Released just today, D9VK 0.21 'Lollihop' implements more needed D3D9 features like D3DBLEND_BOTHSRCALPHA and D3DBLEND_BOTHINVSRCALPHA. There's also now support for "locking of MSAA images with intermediate resolve" which is apparently invalid behaviour for D3D9 "but everyone supports this", the YUV2 and YUVY video formats were implemented for compute shaders and some "minor" performance improvements.

  • D9VK 0.21 Implements More Direct3D 9 Over Vulkan Functionality, Many Bug Fixes

    D9VK 0.21 is out today as the newest feature release for this project implementing the Direct3D 9 API over Vulkan.

    The D9VK 0.21 release implements more blending features, support for locking of MSAA images with intermediate resolve, locking of depth stencil images, YUVY/YUV2 video format support via compute shaders, and other features now hooked up for D3D9 / DXSO / fixed function functionality. Various performance improvements are also present.

  • 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.
