  • Online shopping and a one2many tweak

    Online commerce sites often show a selection of items below the one you're after, with a caption something like "People who bought this item also bought..." It's a marketing ploy, the aim being to encourage you to buy something else while you're visiting the site. It also suggests an interesting question: what product combinations are bought most and least frequently by individual shoppers?

  • Rust Compiler Ambitions for 2022

    Some people have been wondering about what the Rust Compiler Team has planned for 2022. This note is to let you all know what activities the team plans to focus on this year.

    This document is structured into three parts: our Overall Themes for this year, the Concrete Initiatives we have resources to drive, and Aspirations for what we could do if given more help.

    [...]

    Reading over this list, the number of items on it seems quite daunting! We believe these initiatives will provide the highest impact to the Rust community by helping to fulfill Rust's promise, delighting Rust developers and improving our contributor workflows and aligns well with the results of the 2021 Rust Survey.

    While we think we will be able to make signficant progress on these initiatives this year, project estimation is a difficult and inexact science, especially for open source projects. What we will achieve is ultimately a result of who decides to contribute. Our aspirational goals are currently just that: aspirations.

    This is where you all, the Rust community (including future members of that community) come into the picture. Each item has one or two people listed with it; if you're feeling inspired, please do contact us!

  • Browse Anonymously Using Tor Browser on Ubuntu – OSNote

    The Onion Router, or Tor, is a free and open-source service that allows users to surf the web anonymously. It may be used to prevent websites and apps from tracking or attempting to identify your whereabouts. This is accomplished by routing your network traffic across a global network of servers and removing identifying information from packet headers.
    It’s frequently used to get around region restrictions. It is popular among users since it stops ad tracking businesses from creating a profile of you based on your surfing activities and presenting tailored adverts to you.

    Others, on the other hand, are concerned about their privacy in this digital age and welcome the comfort of knowing that no one is watching their online activities.

  • 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.
