Texstar on Safari

Just talk

Here are some snapshots of PCLinuxOS' Texstar on vacation in New York City last weekend. He says he's having fun and is glad we ain't there! Big Grin

Actually, he said,

We drove into New York City this past weekend. They have a train that goes in but it was more fun to drive in to see more of the city. Next weekend we may make another trip in as there is no way you can see everything in one trip. Anyway we went to Times Square and went around to all of the different areas such as the Garment, Jewerly and Theatre district. We took a tour of the Empire State building which was pretty cool. Next weekend we going to try to get down to the Statue of Liberty.

I have to say I love this city. You can feel the energy here and the people are very nice and friendly if you ask for help. Lots and lots of people. It is just like you see in the movies with tons of people on the streets. Rich people, poor people and people from all over with strange accents and walking like they have to go to the bathroom real bad. People move a lot slower down in Houston. I probably had as much fun people watching as I did hitting the various sites.

I think everyone should try to experience this city once in their lifetime.

Oh, and he said, "I'm not thinking about Linux!"



Tex at Times Square.



Tex doing what Tex does best. Big Grin



Freezing his ears off at top the Empire State Building. Yeah, let's razz him about that hat! Big Grin

It's good to be able to put a face (and a cap) to the name.

Not quite right ...

No beard? Why doesn't photo quite go to feet? No sandals?

Not much of a geek, now, are we, Tex?

Scary...

A little frightening... Texstar looks like a police officer in vacation... the kind of cop that could bust you and beat you up on the spot.

I guess I would have preferred him to be an immature guy in his 20s...

Notice the Mandriva hat...

I bought that same Mandrake hat and I wear it sometimes. That just shows you, he may not be thinking about Linux, but it's still on his mind. Literally.

teehee. yep! I thought that too!

Yeah, I got that for him many years ago - back when we were still both loyal mandrake users.

Crud, I thought Texstar was

  • 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.
