  • Here Comes xs:code ‘Monetization Switch’ For Open-Source Projects [Ed: From all one can gather, based on public information, xs:code is just an openwashing facilitator which will help companies push proprietary software with 'trial versions' that are "Open", i.e. more of the old problem of fakes, lock-in, traps. Some people, when speaking about "Open Source Monetization" or ‘Monetization Switch’, actually suggest offering proprietary software and using Open Source as a marketing ploy. This is not what we need.]

    Israel-based start-up xs:code recently launched its monetization platform for open-source projects. Taking a new approach, the company is helping solve the sustainability challenges of open-source software by incentivizing developers to maintain their code by charging companies for using it.

  • Realme Releases Android Pie Kernel Sources for the Realme X2

    Chinese tech firms are not known for releasing the kernel sources of their devices in keeping with GNU licensing requirements, but Realme has been a notable exception. Ever since its inception last year, the company has been consistently wooing power users by encouraging third-party development on its devices. Keeping up with the practice, the company has now released the kernel sources of the Realme X2 on Github, enabling developers to start their work on TWRP custom recovery and custom ROMs.

    [...]

    Coming back to the Realme X2, now that the kernel source codes are on Github, we expect some cool third-party developments for the device, including custom kernels and ROMs. The X2 was only launched in India last week, but has already gained a large following among users looking for an affordable mid-range phone. So if you’re one of those who already snapped up the device or are planning to do so, you will be happy to know that third-party development is probably already in the works.

  • Google Chrome 79 crashing on Linux with NOD32 installed, ESET denies responsibility

    Google Chrome and crashing, they go hand in hand! Aw, Snap! error might have hampered your way to doing something important multiple times. With Chrome 78, it expanded massively that users filled the support forum with hundreds of concerns.

    In case you are not aware, the acknowledgement already came out from Mountain View. And, they found out that multiple antivirus applications are raising incompatibility issues on version 78. Moreover, the company is working in collaboration with those software vendors to make things right.

    [...]

    As you can see in the image given above, it has upset Linux users as well. One would think it is the same issue and disabling the real-time protection of the security software might clear the air. Interestingly, most of the concerned users have NOD32 installed.

    Here comes the interesting part. Despite turning off the protection, people could see Google Chrome crashing over and over again. Have a look at the similar concern coming from an Ubuntu user (another one here).

  • Security updates for Tuesday

    Security updates have been issued by CentOS (freetype, kernel, nss, nss-softokn, nss-util, and thunderbird), Mageia (ghostpcl, libmirage, and spamassassin), Oracle (fribidi), and SUSE (mariadb-100, shibboleth-sp, and slurm).

  • 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.
