  • Vulkan and Metal: Testing and Bug Fighting

    Last week we sent out our first build of the Vulkan/Metal ready X-Plane (which will be version 11.50) to an external sight, and last night we sent out the first private beta.

    Our plan is to move to an open public beta soon once we have some feedback on how well the build is working. When that is will depend on the bug reports; I’m crossing my fingers.

  • X-Plane 11.50 Flight Simulator Preparing For Public Beta With Vulkan Rendering

    One of the engine upgrades to Vulkan we have been looking forward to the most has been usage by the X-Plane flight simulator to ultimately succeed their long-standing OpenGL pipeline. Laminar Research shared on Christmas day that the X-Plane 11.50 release with Vulkan support is currently in private beta and will soon be available publicly.

    As we roll into 2020, the X-Plane 11.50 public beta should be available soon for more widespread testing and ironing out any remaining issues. Vulkan'ized X-Plane should allow for better performance and more long-term potentials as well thanks to the back-end re-architecting for this mature and realistic flight simulator.

  • UNIGINE 2.10: New Terrain, Improved C++/C# API, Editor Plugins, Vehicle System

    The new terrain system is based on the Sparse Virtual Texture (MegaTexture) approach with a number of improvements and engine-specific tweaks, such as smart details caching, optimized culling techniques, etc. The terrain system is tightly integrated with Engine's advanced streaming subsystem, making it VRAM-efficient, and is designed from the ground up with multithreading approach in mind enabling it to utilize the advantages of multi-core systems and handle up to petabytes of data efficiently.

    The technology is available for both DirectX and OpenGL API and can be used even on Windows 7 (which is still being widely used by enterprise although it is phased out by Microsoft). Although terrain rendering can be configured even for computers with a limited VRAM capacity, we strongly recommend using a GPU with at least 4 GB of memory for optimum performance.

  • Unigine 2.10 Released With New Terrain System, Other Graphics Improvements

    Unigine developers have delivered a nice Christmas present in delivering Unigine 2.10 as the latest version of their 3D engine used by few games but an increasing number of simulation systems.

  • The excellent but merciless top-down shooter Redie has gone Free to Play

    Redie is a top-down shooter clearly inspired by Hotline Miami that was released three years ago on Steam. As of today, out of 114 Steam reviews, 94 of them are positive. Just one month ago, an official announcement stated that the title has become absolutely free for everyone.

  • 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.
