  • Do you like code? do you like art? Do you love KDE?

    Most of the design concepts are done, but my C++ QtStyle foomagic is lower than zero Wink so muhhhh heee... do you want to help?

    Janet extraordinaire yesterday helped a bit and adjusted the old Oxygen painting to do a preliminary implementation of the noise O² needs for its background, but that is only the very beginning of is needed.

  • Say Hello to KDE Eco - Kockatoo Tube

    KDE invites you to get your software project certified with Germany's top seal of approval for eco-friendly products: the Blauer Engel eco-label.

    Software may be immaterial, but it determines the energy consumption of hardware, and making software resource efficient is crucial. The Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector is reported to contribute as much C02 to the environment as the aviation industry -- and the numbers continue to rise.

    Sustainability, as reflected in the Blauer Engel criteria for software eco-certification, must be considered holistically: user autonomy and transparency, hallmarks of Free and Open-Source Software, are a part of that.

Season of KDE 2022 With KDE Eco

  • Season of KDE 2022 With KDE Eco

    As part of a pioneering sustainability project, KDE Eco has the aim of measuring and driving down the energy consumption of KDE/Free Software. This requires emulating user behaviour, which can be achieved by planning and scripting Standard Usage Scenarios. I will be scripting Standard Usage Scenarios for various applications, with a focus on commonly-used text editors like Kate, KWrite, Vim, Nano, Emacs, Calligra Words, and LibreOffice. I will prepare these usage scenarios with one of many available emulation tools.

    [...]

    Just imagine: What if we analyzed the energy consumption behind commonly-used software and made it more transparent? What if users could learn how much energy their software requires and could choose the application that might be better for the environment? This would be great!!!

    The KDE Eco initiatives Free and open source Energy Efficiency Project (FEEP) and Blauer Engel For FOSS (BE4FOSS) are working hard on these issues.

    As noted by FEEP, the design and implementation of software has a significant impact on the energy consumption of the systems it is part of. With the right tools, it is possible to quantify and drive down energy consumption. This increased efficiency contributes to a more sustainable use of energy as one of the shared resources of our planet.

Celebrate Energy Conservation Day With KDE Eco

  • Celebrate Energy Conservation Day With KDE Eco

    Of the challenges humanity faces in its struggle to power modern-day civilization, energy conservation is one of the more difficult to achieve. But it is also the most worthy of pursuing, as ultimately many of the current sources of energy we depend on are finite.

    That is why reducing the amount of energy we consume is a priority for KDE Eco. All KDE projects are Free Software, and Free Software entails transparency and user autonomy. The first has always provided users the opportunity to inspect and learn from how software runs; today, this transparency has been extended to include software’s energy consumption when in use. The second allows Free Software users to install what they need on the devices they want, bypassing unnecessary and battery-draining spyware and bloatware while extending the lifespan of their hardware. Both combined give KDE Eco and Free Software developers the means to develop energy-saving improvements for applications and frameworks, to continue support for otherwise unsupported devices, and deploy exactly what people want and need.

  • How to install go1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04 – NextGenTips

    In this tutorial, we are going to explore how to install go on Ubuntu 22.04 Golang is an open-source programming language that is easy to learn and use. It is built-in concurrency and has a robust standard library. It is reliable, builds fast, and efficient software that scales fast. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel-type systems enable flexible and modular program constructions. Go compiles quickly to machine code and has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. In this guide, we are going to learn how to install golang 1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04. Go 1.19beta1 is not yet released. There is so much work in progress with all the documentation.

  • 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.
