  • Ultracopier is an open source file copying tool for Windows, macOS and Linux

    I like to keep things organized on my system especially when it comes to file downloads. While all downloads end up in a single location on my system, I like to copy them to specific folders every once in a while as it improves manageability. I put documents into a folder, and do the same for program installers, portable applications, media files, and other file types.

    [...]

    Did I mention that it is also available for Linux, macOS and Android?

  • Using Your Open Source Work to Land a Great Job

    So you’ve worked on an open-source project, and you want to place that experience on your resume in order to move your career forward. Fantastic! It’s clear (especially from sources such as GitLab’s Global Developer Report) that companies and managers are increasingly in love with everything open-source, especially since it’s often cheaper and easier to implement than proprietary solutions.

    As a result, there’s no reason an employer should shun your experience, just because you did an open-source project from home on your own time. But how can you actually leverage that project work to obtain a full-time job?

  • Webiny announces $348K seed to build open-source serverless CMS

    Webiny, a London startup developing a serverless content management system, announced a $348,000 (£270,000) seed round today led by UK investment firm Episode 1.

    Webiny founder Sven Al Hamad says that Webiny is the first full-feature content management built for a serverless environment. “That means that we built Webiny from the ground up, and architected it so it works only inside serverless functions,” he said.

  • ConsenSys Space Launches TruSat, An Open-source Space Sustainability System

    TruSat is an experimental open-source, open-sensor system for creating a globally-accessible, trusted record of satellite orbital positions. TruSat is primarily designed to enable the assessment of satellite operations in the context of space sustainability standards, but may well illuminate new solutions to broader space traffic management challenges.

    [...]

    Version 0.1 of the TruSat software is a feature-limited engineering prototype for validation of the core software engine for autonomously fitting an

    orbit from observations of a satellite from multiple points on Earth. “This first release is primarily for testing by the dedicated community of hobbyists already active in tracking satellites, “ explained Lewicki.

    [...]

    TruSat’s autonomous, decentralized trust architecture is not its only experimental element. “Our decision to build citizen satellite observers into the system is part of a larger set of experiments exploring the potential of Ethereum technology to enable bottom-up, collective action on an unprecedented scale,” explained ConsenSys Space Co-Founder Brian Israel.

    Israel spent much of his career as a State Department lawyer forging international cooperation to address global challenges, from governing the space domain to mitigating climate change. “At the intergovernmental level, the ambition of cooperative solutions tends to be constrained to the political will of the least ambitious government involved. That leaves many concerned citizens disenfranchised, and their contributions on the table. What if my individual will to be part of the solution is higher than my government’s? What can I do?”

  • Exploring Gitlab Visual Reviews

    With version 12.0 Gitlab has introduced a new interesting feature: Visual Reviews! You can know leave comments to Merge Requests directly from the page you are visiting over your stage environment, without having to change tab.

    [...]

    One of the coolest thing in Gitlab is that everything is always a work in progress, and each feature has some new goodies in every release. This is true for the Visual Reviews App as well. There is an epic that collects all the improvements they want to do, including removing the need for an access token, and adding ability to take screenshots that will be inserted in the MR comments as well.

    That’s all for today, I hope you found this article useful! For any comment, feedback, critic, write to me on Twitter (@rpadovani93) or drop an email at riccardo@rpadovani.com.

    I have also changed the blog theme to a custom version of Rapido.css. I think it increases the readability, but let me know what you think!

  • How to ensure that open source projects deliver on their full potential

    The move by telcos towards using open source projects is picking up pace, with many of them getting further involved with the community. But how do CSPs ensure that open source projects deliver on their full potential and help them achieve their goals and objectives? Furthermore, can we be certain that the community supports continued improvements to the scalability of open source, as its utilisation in the network increases?

  • 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.
