  • Sok Update 3

    Here is the third update on how things are going on with KDE Social.

    I am mostly done with the twitter and mastodon part of things and something that was big hurdle which is figuring out a proper way to schedule posts on the server side .

    I have pushed most stuff to master now .

    [...]

    A small announcement : I am looking for testers for this project now . I have put up detailed instructions on KDE's gitlab README to build and run this . Currently the only supported platform is Linux . Instructions will be similar for Windows since this is based on python . I don't have any experience using a macintosh so I can gaurantee anything about that. Although please do reach out to me if you successfully build it on there.

  • Google Proposes Multi-Generational LRU For Linux To Yield Much Better Performance

    Google engineer Yu Zhao sent out patches proposing a "multigenerational LRU" implementation for the Linux kernel's least recently used (LRU) handling for memory page replacement.

    The engineers working on multi-generational LRU found the Linux kernel's current page reclaim code to be too expensive for CPU usage and making poor choices over what to evict. But with this new LRU implementation it's more "performant, versatile, and straightforward" with promising results.

  • Why I Don’t ‘Do’ Arduino

                     

                       

    As a professional embedded software developer, I cannot get on-board with the software side of things. It’s all great for hobbyist use and genuinely does make life easier, however from the prospective of building a career in embedded electronics, it’s my opinion that the Arduino ecosystem is a hinderance.

                       

    Readers of this website will note that despite having published a number of Arduino related projects, I’ve never produced a single sketch, and I never will.

                       

    Let me take a minute to explain myself. There are four main reasons why: [...]

  • 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.
