  • Notepadqq is a best alternative to Notepad++ for Ubuntu/Linux Mint

    Do you miss Notepadd++ which is only available for Microsoft Windows? Here is an alternative for you called "Notepadqq" released under GPL (GNU General Public License) Version 3. Notepadqq is a Notepad++-like editor for the Linux desktop. It helps developers by providing all you can expect from a general purpose text editor, such as syntax highlighting for more than 100 different languages, code folding, color schemes, file monitoring, multiple selection and much more. You can search text using the power of regular expressions. You can organize documents side by side. You can use real-time highlighting to find near identifiers in no time. It has support for multiple programming languages, multiple encodings and plugin support.

  • My experience with WikiToLearn

    When I first started with Google Code In, I thought that it would be about work that is done fast and easy. With that attitude I had to abandon my first task at a random company (I don't remember). Seeing that this contest is pretty advanced, I looked for a task that fit to my programming skills which brought me to WikiToLearn: My first task was to run W2L locally so I can edit a part of the website.

  • The Sysadmin Squad

    Spectacle is out as part of the Applications suite as of KDE Applications 15.12, and not only do the users like it, other devs love it too. Maintaining Spectacle isn't as hectic as it used to be in the early days. I get a steady stream of mostly benign bug reports, which is nothing I can't handle in a few hours over the weekend. Wayland support still hasn't materialised though, and it looks like it'll be a while. Proper High-DPI (retina displays) support did materialise though, courtesy of Kai Uwe Broulik, and will land in 15.12.1.

  • Ubuntu Touch OTA-9 Will Bring A New Download Manager

    The Ubuntu developers are currently working at a download manager to add by default on Ubuntu Touch, starting with the OTA-9 Update. The software would permit the users to download files directly from the browser, without having to send them to other apps, or download a file once and send it to multiple apps without needing to redownload each time.

  • fail0verflow Gets Linux Running on PlayStation 4

    Can it run Linux? Yes, we're just as tired of the Web joke as anyone else, but it is a fair question for some devices—especially gaming consoles, which are basically just computers in a different form factor than what you're used to seeing under (or on top of) your office desk.

    The PlayStation 4 has been fairly resilient to various forms of modding, as it was only really "jailbroken" earlier this month. This process allows those with modified consoles to run, well, just about whatever they want on them, from pirated games to custom software.

  • 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.
