  • GNU Hyperbole 7.1.3, the Antiviral Release, is now available on GNU ELPA

    What's new in this release is described here:
    http://www.gnu.org/s/hyperbole/HY-NEWS.html
    Everything back until release 7.0.3 is new since the last major
    release announcement (about a year ago), so updates are extensive.

  • The GNU Operating System Turns 37

    Honorary Doctor Richard Stallman announced his total plan to create a free Unix-line operating system called GNU 37 years ago today. "I am going to write a complete Unix-compatible software system called GNU (for Gnu's Not Unix), and give it away free(1) to everyone who can use it.". The result of his hard work is the family of operating systems we now call GNU/Linux, or, in most cases, just Linux.

    [...]

    A young man from Finland shared some of the same dreams Richard Stallman did: Linus Torvalds has his own dream of having a Unix-like operating system on his home computer. He wrote the FREAX kernel, which was quickly renamed to Linux, and released version 0.01 under a free license in 1991.

  • git filter-branch and --state-branch - how?

    I'm mirroring and reworking a large Git repository with git filter-branch (conversion ETA: 20h), and I was wondering how to use --state-branch which is supposed to speed-up later updates, or split a large conversion in several updates.

  • SHADERed 1.4.1 Released With Compute Shader Debugger

    SHADERed as the open-source, cross-platform shader integrated development environment now has a compute shader debugger built-in.

    SHADERed allows for debugging various types of shaders, supports plug-ins for integration with various other systems, an instant view of shader modifications, and can even be done from a web browser in addition to the Linux and Windows support.

  • UpdateHostkeys now enabled by default

    I just fixed a couple of corner-cases relating to UpdateHostkeys in git HEAD and have enabled the option by default. IMO this protocol extension is important because it allows ssh clients to automatically migrate to the best available signature algorithms available on the server and supports our goal of deprecating RSA/SHA1 in the future.

  • GIMP Starts Offering Nightly GIMP 3.0 Pre-Release Builds, But Only For Windows

    The GNU Image Manipulation community is rapidly moving forward to a big 3.0 release, using GTK+3, with a lot of development going on behind the scenes. It may not appear that way since the 2.10.x branch releases have been slow incremental releases with a few big and small features added for years now. Big things have been happening and the GIMP community is highlighting that by offering nightly snapshot builds of the upcoming GIMP 3.0 release. There's currently only nightly packages Windows users. Nightly Flatpak releases for GNU/Linux users are planned.

  • 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.
