  • What's your favorite Linux package manager?

    Package managers are an important part of working with modern Linux distributions. In the early days of Linux, life was more complicated. If you wanted to install a piece of software, you had to download a file (or files) and then configure the software to run on your particular system. This didn't make it very easy to install software.

    Therefore, packages and package managers were invented to combat the complexity involved with installing software on Linux and Unix systems. Software packages are comprised of multiple data files combined into a single archive, which makes for easy portability and storage, and package managers allow you to download and install software easily.

  • Randa Meetings 2016 Part III: Translation System Troubles

    IMHO new technology should adapt by default to our cultures. Not our cultures to technology, especially if the technology is enforced on us by law or other pressures. Surely technology should instead allow to enhance cultures, extending options at best. But never limiting or disabling.

    One motivation to create technology like Free/Libre Software is the idea that every human should be able to take part in the (world) society. A challenge here is to enrich life for people, not to just make it more complex. Also should it not force them into giving up parts of culture for the access to new technology. Code is becoming the new law maker: if your existing cultural artifacts are not mapped in the ontology of the computer systems, it does not exist by their definition. One has to be happy already then if there is at least any “Other” option to file away with.

    Sure, e.g. for producers targeting more than their local home culture it would be so nice-because-simple if everyone would use the same language and other cultural artifacts (think measurement units). But who is to decide what should be the norm and how should they know what is best?

    When it comes to software, the so called “Internationalization” technologies are here to help us in the humanity being. Adding variability to the user interface to allow adaption to the respective user’s culture (so called “Localization”).
    Just, for some little irony, there is also more than one “culture” with Internationalization technologies. And getting those into synchronized cooperation is another challenge, sadly one which is currently not completely mastered when it comes to the software by the KDE community.

  • Raspberry Pi 4's V3D Driver Adds OpenGL ES 3.2 Geometry Shader Support

    The Broadcom V3D Gallium3D driver within Mesa 20.0 now has initial support for geometry shaders as needed by OpenGL ES 3.2.

    Iago Toral of Igalia landed his OES_geometry_shader support into Mesa 20.0-devel overnight. Since Eric Anholt left Broadcom for Google, taking over maintenance of the V3D open-source code-base has been the folks over at Igalia. They have been working to iron out Open GL ES 3.1 and then OpenGL ES 3.2 with the big pieces like the now-accomplished geometry shaders support.

  • Trion T20 BGA256 FPGA Development Kit Supports “PulseRain Reindeer” RISC-V RV32IM soft CPU

    A few months ago I wrote about FireAnt low-cost FPGA development board powered by Efinix Trion T8 FPGA, and it was the first time I personally heard about the company.

  • Israeli Startup Offers ‘Monetization Switch’ For Open Source
  • Amazon is joining a project that could upend network chipmakers such as Broadcom

    Amazon is contributing to a new piece of open-source software that could give it a leg up in its physical stores. The Linux Foundation, a nonprofit organization that maintains the Linux operating system and open-source software, announced the new networking operating system, called Dent, in a statement on Friday.

    Dent is a proposed operating system for switches, which are pieces of hardware used to route data around networks, usually within companies or between companies and the internet. The market has traditionally been dominated by big companies such as Broadcom, which provides a lot of the underlying silicon chips, and Cisco, which sells finished assembled product.

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.
