  • Schedule a task with the Linux at command | Opensource.com

    Computers are good at automation, but not everyone knows how to make automation work. It's a real luxury, though, to be able to schedule a task for a computer at a specific time and then forget about it. Maybe you have a file to upload or download at a specific time, or you need to process a batch of files that don't yet exist but are guaranteed to exist by a certain time or a setting that needs monitoring, or maybe you just need a friendly reminder to pick up bread and butter on the way home from work.

  • Easy way to install Chrome Browser on Elementary OS 6 Odin

    Install Google Chrome Browser on Elementary OS 6 “Odin” using the command terminal. It is a free but propriety software hence that is the reason this internet app is not available in AppCenter or the official repo of Elementary Linux.

    Well, Linux doesn’t deprive of browser out of the box, so the Elementary OS. You will find the one on this Linux that uses Firefox as a base. However, if you are a multiple devices user, for example, an Android one with default Chrome browser with sync feature ON, then for sure you want the same on Linux as well. Therefore, if you want your Chrome browsing history, saved password, and other sync data on Elementary OS as well then follow the below-given steps.

Low Bandwidth Images

  • Low Bandwidth Images

    But how does this compare to images like on https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com or those at https://ritualdust.com/works/photo/, well, those seem to range from ~50kb to ~120kb, and are all black & white. Now, this isn’t supposed to be a call out post. There’s two reasons to do it the dithered, low palette way: not all browsers supported .webp and, frankly, it’s a stylistic choice. The problem is by showing it as a technical choice for conserving data or helping those with limited bandwidth, it promotes the idea that this is the best way to do it, instead of driving adoption of .webp, a format that if had greater adoption would actually greatly benefit the web at large instead of fringe (albeit amazing) websites like these. This is even weirder when you consider that even Safari has caught up and .webp is basically supported everywhere.

  • 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.
