  • Comment to FCC: Accelerating American 5G Innovation FEATURED

    I started my industry career working for AT&T in 1993 where I first learned the term FUD as part of an official sales strategy - I was working in their newly acquired computer division NCR and the first product release document I ever wrote was for AT&T MP-RAS Unix. At the time there were dozens of Unix variants - we argued ours was better, we argued Linux was not reliable, and we mutually prevented competitors from running their version of Unix on our hardware. The incompatible Unix software meant that once you wrote an application for one system, it required substantial investment to “port it” to another. This created a lock-in for a particular vendor’s equipment - identical in effect to the wireless radio lock-in. The vendors relying on this lacked new customer growth because they stagnated on the innovation front and eventually merged together, creating HP-Compaq-Tandem-Digital in 2000, which caused a lot of incompatibility pain for CIOs around the world - the CIOs eventually fought back and then overnight in 2001, Linux became the default choice, and innovation in the datacenter market flourished.

  • Pulling this blog out of Planet MySQL aggregator, over community concerns

    I recently noticed how a blog post of mine, The state of Orchestrator, 2020 (spoiler: healthy), did not get aggregated in Planet MySQL. After a quick discussion and investigation, it was determined (and confirmed) it was filtered out because it contained the word "MariaDB". It has later been confirmed that Planet MySQL now filters out posts indicating its competitors, such as MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB.

  • Chef Infra 16 adds YAML recipe support

    Infrastructure-as-code specialist Chef has released a new version of its platform – Chef Infra 16 – as it aims to reduce the learning curve for new customers, while also addressing common pain points for existing users.

  • Be part of our Live Studio Audiences for our ChefConf Online sessions

    Hello Chefs! Wherever you are in the world, you’re likely not in the place you usually are when you’re working. Sadly, we also won’t be where we usually are for ChefConf this year; ChefConf will be online, like so many other events that can no longer happen in person. Registration is open right now at chefconf.io.

  • Daniel Stenberg: The state of curl 2020

    As tradition dictates, I do a “the state of curl” presentation every year. This year, as there’s no physical curl up conference happening, I have recorded the full presentation on my own in my solitude in my home.

    This is an in-depth look into the curl project and where it’s at right now. The presentation is 1 hour 53 minutes.

  • Committing to Community throughout the COVID-19 Crisis

    Each year the Open Source Initiative relies on the dedicated contributions of individual open source developers and advocates, OSI members, and corporate sponsors. This year, with the global pandemic now affecting so many communities, funding priorities have rightly changed: new initiatives that need dedicated support have emerged, yet many fundamental organizations still need continued support to deliver core services.

    Each year the OSI attends over 20 events to meet with sponsors and secure annual funding. With so many events now canceled, our primary channel for fundraising and development has simply disappeared. We recognize many organizations may be struggling themselves and unable to contribute. Individuals too are facing unprecedented pressures, facing professional uncertainties and personal loss.

  • 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.
