• Yaakov ☛ Replacing Kubernetes with systemd

  I even tried running Kubernetes on a Raspberry Pi but I couldn't actually find an implementation that would happily run without kicking up heat/fans and that would actually leave enough CPU behind for my workloads.

• Frontend Masters ☛ Seeking an Answer: Why can’t HTML alone do includes?

  I’d wager (counts fingers) pretty much all websites need this ability, and all of them reach for different additional non-web-standard tooling to get it done. That’s weird.

  So what are those reasons?

• PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ GIMP Tutorial: Create A Word Art Logo

  I found a cool video the other day from Logos by Nick, which described a method for creating a word art logo. It’s very easy to do, but also requires multiple layers in GIMP. Nick states that most logos are usually made in a vector graphics program, such as Inkscape, but this particular project can be done really easily in GIMP.

• PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ Wiki Pick: Numlock On At Login

  This is one of those irritating little things that isn’t broken. If you use a lot of numbers in your logon password, not being able to use the number keypad at logon is a muscle memory problem. This will show you the method of getting numlock to be on at the login screen.

• PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ Tip Top Tips: Fixing Filesystems Automatically After System Crash/Reset

  Some users already had the setting enabled on their computers (sixte and myself were among those users). However, many other users did not already have this setting enabled (meaning it was set to “No”).

  The commands “fsck.mode=force fsck.repair=yes" appear to be silently ignored on PCLinuxOS, because we haven't got the program (systemd) which implements it.

  Forum user Stingray provided a way for users to check to see when the last time fsck ran on their computer. Enter tune2fs -l /dev/[drive] | grep checked at a command line prompt, replacing [drive] with the drive device designation on your computer. If you’re not sure what the drive designation is for your drive(s), simply open GParted and look at the drive designations there. Use those drive designations to complete the command and to get your answer. Remember: you’re ONLY opening GParted to see what the drive designations are for your drive(s). Once you’ve written down the drive designation(s), close GParted without doing anything else. You’re only using GParted as a fact-finding mission.

  • ID Root ☛ How To Automount File Systems on Linux

    Automounting file systems in GNU/Linux allows your system to mount storage devices and network shares on-demand, saving resources and improving performance. Rather than mounting all file systems at boot time, automounting only occurs when a resource is actually needed, making it an efficient solution for managing both local and remote storage resources.
