  • Check Steam Deck Compatibility With This Tool - Invidious

    The Steam Deck is almost here so Valve has released a tool to check which games in your library are currently known to be supported, but keep in mind this is not all the games that work just the ons Valve is telling you about.

  • Chimera Linux Test ISOs Available For PPC64LE

    Chimera Linux, an upcoming Linux distro with a FreeBSD userland so you don't have to choose, now has downloadable test images for ppc64le and x86_64. The little-endian Power images, which we care about here obviously, are available both as straight-up console (which can be redirected to the onboard serial port) and GNOME-or-console flavours, and require a POWER8 or higher. The GNOME spins (screenshot at right) use Wayland by default but also allow X11 with a bootloader configuration. There's still a lot in flux, but it's impressive the OS is this far along, and certainly offers something more substantial to the Power community than the usual distro dance. For more info, see the FAQ, or download ISO images from the download page.

  • Cameron Kaiser: Next update set available for TenFourFox

    In case you missed it, I've always maintained that the most logical upgrade path from a PowerPC-based computer is to ... another PowerPC-based computer. SheepShaver, the well-known classic Mac OS emulator (which many of you use to run Classic apps in Leopard), is now ported to OpenPOWER, so you can run it on a POWER9-based workstation like the Raptor Talos II or Blackbird. Myself, with this port working, I've migrated almost entirely from QEMU to SheepShaver except for a few apps that still have compatibility issues. Come on in: Power ISA isn't dead, not by a long shot.

  • Find that font! I must have that font! - Firefox Add-ons Blog

    You’re probably a digital designer or work in some publishing capacity (otherwise it would be pretty strange to have a fascination with fonts); and you appreciate the aesthetic power of exceptional typography.

    So what do you do when you encounter a wonderful font in the wild that you might want to use in your own design work? Well, if you have a font finder browser extension you can learn all about it within a couple mouse clicks. Here are some of our favorite font discovery extensions…

  • Using MongoDB with Docker

    Docker is a powerful development platform that enables users to containerize software. These containers can be run on any machine, as well as in a public or private cloud. Thanks to Docker’s lightweight runtime and ability to run processes in isolation, multiple containers can run at the same time on the same VM or server.

  • How to use MySQL with Docker and Docker compose a beginners guide

  • CSV and data types

    CSV (RFC 4180) is quite good solution when we want to store or share relational data in a simple text format – both, human-readable and well supported by many existing applications and libraries. We have even ready-to-use GUI editors, so called spreadsheets (e.g. LibreOffice Calc). However, such simple formats have usually some drawbacks. CSV may contain only a single relation (table, sheet). This is not a big issue – we can use several files. A more serious problem is the absence of data types – in CSV, everything is just a text string. Thus it was impossible to have loss-less conversion to CSV and back.

  • 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.
