  • Red Hat, Linux, Harassment and War Graves

    Maybe it is some random coincidence of course. I had published the video in French at the end of Septmeber and these Linux trolls started writing defamation in French in mid-November.

    It would be foolish to say that Matthew Miller or Red Hat ordered these trolls to engage like this. On the other hand, this campaign of harassment did not arise spontaneously. Red Hat Linux is one of the oldest and most respected Linux distributions. Miller published a character attack on Dr Richard Stallman earlier in 2021. Being in a position of leadership, Red Hat's attack on Dr Stallman have set a bad example for every troll in the Linux world to follow. Launching these attacks in French after my visit to war graves in France, they've demonstrated that there is no lower bound on their vulgarity.

  • Automation: 5 expert tips to advance your journey | The Enterprisers Project

    It’s “old” in the sense that various forms of scripting, business process automation, and other technologies have been around for decades. It’s “new” – or newer, at least – in terms of containerization, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, security automation, robotic process automation (RPA), and the vast landscape of cloud-native tooling.

    No matter what, it’s tough to find an IT shop taking a “just say no” approach to automation in 2022. On the contrary, there’s a trove of numbers that all seem to say: IT automation is virtually everywhere. That’s evident in software pipelines, hybrid cloud infrastructure, security operations centers, you name it.

  • Digital transformation: 10 reasons your IT initiatives fail

  • Documentation PR’s Welcome - Why Docs Are Not A Beginner Friendly Task

    Generally, when someone is a beginner to a project they lack an understanding of the project audience so they aren’t able to empathise with “what could be useful for a reader”. They also tend to lack the depth and breath of technical knowledge to know what to write for the documentation since by definition, they are a newcommer to this project.

    A great way to connect with a beginner is to listen to their frustrations and what challenges the encountered with your project. First, connect how that frustration could be either a failing of the user interface and it’s design (even an API is a user interface). Second, only once you have eliminated design limitations, then consider it to be a documentation problem. As the project contributor, you are in a better position to write documentation than a beginner.

  • Fedora Workstation's State of Gaming - A Case Study of Control (2019) - Fedora Magazine

    Back in the day, it used to irk me as to how GNU/Linux[1] distributions could not be even considered to be in the proximity of video games enthusiasts – less because of the performance of the video games themselves and more because of how inconvenient it could be for them to set it all up. Admittedly, it had been quite a while since an avid video games fan like me did that, so it was almost a no-brainer for me to try it out and see if things have changed. What I ended up finding surprised me – I like to think that it would be just as pleasing to both enthusiasts who have been playing video games on GNU/Linux distributions and to newcomers who have been scoping this, alike.

    On a testing bench using an AMD RDNA2-based[2] GPU, the video game was configured to the highest possible graphical preset[3] to really stress the hardware into performing as much as its limiting factor. If the RDNA2 architecture reminds you of something, allow me to share that it is what forms the foundation of the GPU that no other than the widely acclaimed Steam Deck[4] makes use of. For that matter, if you factor in some performance scaling with respect to the handheld nature of the device and the optimized Proton compatibility layer, this article can be representative of what the Steam Deck is capable of when you use Fedora Workstation[5] as a platform of your choice for playing your favourite video games.

  • Deploy Infinispan automatically with Ansible | Red Hat Developer

    Infinispan, an in-memory data store, is popular among Java programmers as a fast and scalable key-value store that can be deployed in a variety of settings. This article describes how to use Ansible to automate the installation and setup of an Infinispan instance. Along the way, you'll learn about many aspects of Ansible's capabilities.

    The most straightforward use for Infinispan is as an in-memory cache, embedded into an application. Infinispan can also be a separate, standalone cache offering transient memory to separate applications that access the cache using different protocols. A third option is to treat Infinispan as a kind of NoSQL database. And these are only the most common use cases; additional options are available.

    Infinispan can be resilient, even across data centers or availability zones, thanks to its efficient cross-site replication and split-brain mitigation options.

    With so many use cases at one's disposal, it is nice to have a dedicated Ansible collection to help automate Infinispan deployment and configuration. This article provides a walkthrough of Ansible's usage and shows you how to integrate Infinispan easily into an Ansible Playbook to manage the software like any other piece of the application's infrastructure.

  • Hello Podman using .NET [Ed: Red Hat is pushing Microsoft]

    This article shows how to control Podman from .NET. Podman is a container engine, like Docker, that is available on Linux, Windows (using the Windows Subsystem for Linux), and macOS (using a Linux virtual machine). The Podman executable is command-line compatible with Docker, and Podman also supports the Docker HTTP API. Now .NET programmers can use Podman and Docker through the Docker.DotNet library.

  • 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.
