  • HP Chromebase Makes Chrome OS Desktops a Smart Choice

    Chrome OS is built on a Gentoo Linux-based operating system. But Chrome OS users do not need any knowledge of Linux. The Chrome OS interface is familiar to anyone who has used the Chrome web browser.

  • [Older] The best Linux distros for 2021

    Linux is a powerful and fully customizable operating system with an endless number of distributions that differ significantly from one another, offering complete personalization for all applications. Trust us — it gives MacOS and Windows a run for their money.

    When choosing a Linux system, it’s common to pick a distribution, or “distro,” that compiles all the open-source features you want into one installation package. The number of distros that Linux has would take way too much time for you to sift through. To help you narrow down your search, we’ve compiled a list of the best distros that Linux has to offer.

  • Avoid Boot Loops, Try Librem 5 Serial – Purism

    Debugging a Librem 5 that boots is pretty easy–just open a terminal or access the serial console over USB. But if you are doing kernel development or porting alternative OSes to the Librem 5, you might end up with a Librem 5 that won’t boot far enough to load regular diagnostic tools. When that happens it’s time for raw serial access.

  • LHS Episode #443: The Weekender LXXXIII

  • FreeBSD on Slimbook – 14 months of updates

    I didn’t use the laptop with FreeBSD much this month, it’s mostly my video-call box with meet.kde.org – something I still have not set up correctly with my FreeBSD workstation.

    WiFi tops out inside the house at 2.2MB/s, it is reported as a 36Mbit 802.11a connection in system tools, so that is .. not great, but a far cry from what it could be.

    KDE Plasma Wayland, which was working in September, is now broken. It’s not just my laptop, it’s on my workstation (AMDGPU), on the spare machine (Intel iGPU) and the laptop (Intel iGPU). I have chatted a bit with Plasma developers, but the debugging is on me, unfortunately.

  • Users with a pirated version of Office are getting a discount offer for a Microsoft 365 subscription

    That said, if you can't pay for Microsoft Office, you don't have to pirate it. You can still get nearly the same features for free, via Office Online, right from your web browser. I used the service for a few years, until I bought a cheap license for Office 2013 via a reseller. Or, you could just use a free and open source alternative like LibreOffice.

  • Best Microsoft Office alternatives of 2021: Free, paid, online mobile office suites

    One of the extra features that makes Calligra stand out is that it offers a mind-mapping and project managing tool. Usually these cost extra.

    Calligra allows you to read DOCX and DOX formats but you cannot edit them. This can cause difficulties if your contacts send you Microsoft Office documents, so ask them to use a different format such as ODT (Open Document Text) instead.

  • Database: MariaDB is increasing the release speed on the Community Server - Market Research Telecast [Ed: Automated/machine translation]

    The 10.6.x series of the MariaDB Community Server, presented for the first time in spring, is supposed to be the last version to follow an annual release cycle. As the database provider announced, the server edition from version 10.7 follows a quarterly rhythm, which should provide users with new features more quickly in the future. In addition, developers from the open source community should be able to incorporate their new code contributions into the database server more quickly.

  • GridGain Launches Service to Recognize Non-Code Contributors to the Apache Ignite Community
  • Major outage hits Amazon Web Services; many sites affected
  • After a decade on FHIR, where are we at?

    We remember doing some of the first reporting on FHIR back in the early days, when we were alerted to the concept by former chair of HL7 Australia Klaus Veil. Klaus told us back in 2012 that FHIR was “the latest trending interoperability technology that has taken the eHealth world by storm”, and he was right. The promise was that it would be faster, easier and far more comprehensible than standards like HL7 v3, which got so bogged down in its own complexity that it was pretty much dropped.

  • 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.
