  • Tempted But the Truth is Discovered | LINUX Unplugged 394

    After all these years, what's made us stick with Linux?

    Plus the commitment just made by the GNOME team, and some new tools that are changing our game.

  • New service: https://debuginfod.debian.net

    Hello there,

    I would like to announce a new service that I have just configured for
    Debian: https://debuginfod.debian.net.

    debuginfod is a new-ish project whose purpose is to serve
    ELF/DWARF/source-code information over HTTP.  It is developed under the
    elfutils umbrella.  You can find more information about it here:

      https://sourceware.org/elfutils/Debuginfod.html

    In a nutshell, by using a debuginfod service you will not need to
    install debuginfo (a.k.a. dbgsym) files anymore; the symbols will be
    served to GDB (or any other debuginfo consumer that supports debuginfod)
    over the network.  Ultimately, this makes the debugging experience much
    smoother (I myself never remember the full URL of our debuginfo
    repository when I need it).

    If you would like to use the service, and if the service supports the
    Debian distribution you are using (see below), all you have to do is
    make sure that the following environment variable is set in your shell:

      DEBUGINFOD_URLS="https://debuginfod.debian.net";

    Currently, the elfutils and GDB packages in unstable and testing have
    native support for using debuginfod.  I will soon propose a change to
    the elfutils package in order to make it be configured with our
    debuginfod instance by default, so that users will be able to use the
    service transparently.

    For now, debuginfod.debian.net is serving debug information symbols for
    the following Debian distributions:

      - unstable

      - testing
      - testing-proposed-updates

      - stable
      - stable-backports
      - proposed-updates

    In the near future I intend to expand this list and include the
    debuginfo stored at snapshot.debian.org as well.

    Setting up a debuginfod service for Debian has been on my TODO list for
    some time now, and I finally got enough time & resources to do it.  I
    would like to thank a few people for their feedback and help:

      - Héctor Orón (zumbi)
      - Jonathan Carter (highvoltage)
      - Paul Wise (pabs)

    Last, but not least, you can find a wiki page about our service here:

      https://wiki.debian.org/Debuginfod

    Thanks,

  • Debian Launches A Debuginfod Server For Smoother Debugging Experience

    Debian is the latest major Linux distribution deploying a Debuginfod web server so that ELF/DWARF/source-code information can be supplied via HTTP to clients on-demand when debugging. 

    Introduced last year was Debuginfod with GNU Binutils 2.34 for distributing debugging information / source code on demand. Readelf and objdump utilities can query connected Debuginfod servers for source files / data based on a build ID. Debuginfod support was later integrated into the GNU Debugger too (GDB 10.1). The effort was led by Red Hat engineers while now Debian is getting in on this practical feature too.

  • Null MX - We do not accept email here!

    By creating a NULL MX RECORD for a domain name which isn't meant to receive email, the domain will clearly state that it doesn't accept any email, period. Anyone attempting to send email to that domain will then immediately received a notification saying you cannot send email to that domain.

  • RFC7505 Means Yes, Your Domain Can Refuse to Handle Mail. Please Leave Us a TXT If You Do.

    If you do not want a domain to receive any mail, there is a way to be at last somewhat civil about it. There's a different DNS trick for that.

  • 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.
