How to install and use Podman in Ubuntu
Podman is a container engine that’s compatible with the OCI Containers specification. It is part of RedHat Linux, but can also be installed on other distributions. As it’s OCI-compliant, Podman can be used as a drop-in replacement for the better-known Docker runtime. Most Docker commands can be directly translated to Podman commands. Podman implements almost all the Docker CLI commands (apart from the ones related to Docker Swarm).
Podman complements Buildah and Skopeo by offering an experience similar to the Docker command line: allowing users to run standalone (non-orchestrated) containers. And Podman doesn’t require a daemon to run containers and pods, so we can easily say goodbye to big fat daemons. There are no daemons in the background doing stuff, and this means that Podman can be integrated into system services through systemd.

How to Install and Enable sudo on FreeBSD 13 – Citizix
In this guide we will learn how to install and enable sudo in FreeBSD 13. FreeBSD is known for its robustness and for being another valid alternative for servers to Linux servers.
Unlike su, sudo authenticates users against their own password rather than that of the target user. Sudo allows a system administrator to delegate authority to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root or another user while providing an audit trail of the commands and their arguments. This allow the delegation of specific commands to specific users on specific hosts without sharing passwords among them.

How to Find Files with the fd Command in Linux
Finding files under a Linux operating system is a skill set that most Linux users have mastered and perfected. Linux command-line tools like the find command are very reliable and effective when handling file-finding tasks. However, using the find command to retrieve misplaced files on a Linux operating system environment is not everyone’s cup of tea due to its non-user-friendly tag.
The fd command is a user-friendly alternative to the usage complexity of the find command. It is a simple and fast file-finding command-line-based tool.

Paul Tagliamonte: Measuring the Power Output of my SDRs
Over the last few years, I’ve often wondered what the true power output of my SDRs are. It’s a question with a shocking amount of complexity in the response, due to a number of factors (mostly Frequency). The ranges given in spec sheets are often extremely vague, and if I’m being honest with myself, not incredibly helpful for being able to determine what specific filters and amplifiers I’ll need to get a clean signal transmitted.
Hey, heads up! - This post contains extremely unvalidated and back of the napkin quality work to understand how my equipment works. Hopefully this work can be of help to others, but please double check any information you need for your own work!
