  • This Soccer Ball-Sized Flying Robot Hovers Around Town to Do Your Bidding

    This cute, safe, hovering robot that looks like a flying marshmallow is going to reinvent drone design, its creators say.

    It's called Fleye, and it's the exact opposite of "classic" drones, according to the Belgian engineers behind the bot. There's no huge propeller, no clunky frame, and no heavy crashing into bleachers at sporting events. It's being billed as a personal, autonomous robot.

  • Rotterdam launches open LoRa network for Internet of Things

    The network provides free access for IoT devices, to communicate with internet applications and each other. Since LoRa networks can operate over longer distances but only for slow data transfer rates, they are typically used by tiny, battery-operated systems. This allows you to build sensor networks based on low-power devices that periodically send small amounts of data. The network can be used to connect boats, cars, lamp posts, dumpsters, and road and traffic systems, for example, allowing these to send information (i.e. measurements) and receive commands.

    [...]

    According to Leon Gommans, a leading figure in the development of open data in both the city and the port of Rotterdam, and co-owner of PlaySpace and Teqplay, this is only the first phase. "The Kickstarter project for The Things Network will make access points based on open hardware available at a price of 200 euro. That's only one fifth of any currently available LoRaWAN gateway." The goal of 150,000 euro was met in less than ten days. One month after the start of the project, almost 300,000 was pledged by over 900 backers.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future Tech

The metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. Read more

  • 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.
