Boogeyman: Watching Boogeyman was a phenomenally scary thrill ride. I had goosebumps within the first five minutes. It takes place mostly at night, but even the day shots had an atmosphere of dark foreboding. Off kilter camera angles, eerie and sudden sound effects, dark atmosphere, and scaling camera effects of director Stephen Kay make this lower budget

movie worth a watch. The script by Eric Kripke, Juliet Snowden, Stiles White, and Darren Lemke may not win any Academy Awards, but it sure keeps you on the edge of your seat and at times jumping out of it! It was definitely scary. However there seemed to be too much build up and not quite enough meat. It presented but didn't seem to answer too many questions. This leaves the audience not quite prepared for the climax, which is a slight let down as far as showdowns go. The acting by Barry Watson was convincing and believable. The audience could feel his fear right along with him. With his boy-next-door good looks, one might expect to see more from this relative newcomer. All and all, I'd recommend this flick.

Alone in the Dark: This flick is definitely wait-for-cable, and only if nothing else is on. I don't know what was worse: the acting, the script, or the plot! Christain Slater was the only bright spot in the whole project, but even a well trained and experienced actor couldn't overcome the lame script to carry the whole film. Stephen Dorff was forgettable and Tara Reid couldn't act her way out of a speeding ticket. The special effects were unconvincing and down right boring. Even the obligatory sex scene was a just a chance to refill the popcorn bowl. Shooowee! Don't waste your money or time on this stinker!

Hide and Seek: Hide and Seek is a quality Hollywood film starring Robert DeNiro and Dakota Fanning. Excellent script, classic direction, and wonderful performances make this flick a must see. The suspenseful plot surrounds around a little girl, her father and her new imaginary friend. After more than one alarming occurrence, the audience begins to get an inkling that perhaps the friend isn't quite so imaginary. It's a first rate psychological thriller, not entirely predictable but maybe a little formulaic. I recommend you try to catch this one.

  • 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.

Red Hat Hires a Blind Software Engineer to Improve Accessibility on Linux Desktop

Accessibility on a Linux desktop is not one of the strongest points to highlight. However, GNOME, one of the best desktop environments, has managed to do better comparatively (I think). In a blog post by Christian Fredrik Schaller (Director for Desktop/Graphics, Red Hat), he mentions that they are making serious efforts to improve accessibility. Starting with Red Hat hiring Lukas Tyrychtr, who is a blind software engineer to lead the effort in improving Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Fedora Workstation in terms of accessibility. Read more
