  • Security updates for Tuesday

    Security updates have been issued by Arch Linux (connman, firejail, kernel, python-django, roundcubemail, and wpa_supplicant), Fedora (gdk-pixbuf2 and gdk-pixbuf2-xlib), openSUSE (python3 and tomcat), Scientific Linux (xterm), SUSE (postgresql12 and postgresql13), and Ubuntu (gdk-pixbuf, openldap, python-django, and qemu).

  • How to Disable Automatic Updates in Ubuntu

    Ubuntu has automatic updates enabled by default. Ordinarily, this is a convenient feature that helps our system stay up to date with the latest features, and protected with the newest security patches.

  • Be wary of file sync conflicts with KeePass apps on Android

    KeePass is a tried and tested open-source encrypted password manager available for Windows. You can also use one of the many forks for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and other operating systems. KeePass has created the defacto standard for encrypted password vault/database files (.kdbx). Syncing the vault files between your computers and Android can cause problems with some KeePass apps, however.

    KeePass (and its many forks) stores your passwords encrypted in a secure vault/database file. Unlike other password managers like LastPass and Bitwarden, you’re solely responsible for storing and backing up your password vault. You can transfer the vault file between computers with Syncthing, Resillio, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, a floppy diskette, or however you prefer moving your files around. Multi-computer set-ups with file synchronization introduces the risk of file synchronization delays and conflicts.

  • Nvidia Linux drivers causing random hard crashes and now a major security risk still not fixed after 5+ months

    The recent fiasco with Nvidia trying to block Hardware Unboxed from future GPU review samples for the content of their review is one example of how they choose to play this game. This hatred is not only shared by reviewers, but also developers and especially Linux users.

    The infamous Torvalds videos still traverse the web today as Nvidia conjures up another evil plan to suck up more of your money and market share. This is not just one off shoot case; oh how much I wish it was. I just want my computer to work.

    If anyone has used Sway-WM with an Nvidia GPU I’m sure they would remember the –my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia option.

    These are a few examples of many.

  • 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.
