    Mobile applications have become increasingly important for businesses these days, and consumers are demanding higher quality apps for their mobile devices. Adapting to this new demand, testing teams have to evaluate and verify mobile apps before they are launched in the market. Assessing the quality of mobile devices is a time-consuming and a resource-intensive game especially as automating tests for mobile devices can be moderately complex.

  • Life as an Open Source Developer

    It's been a little over a month since I started my new gig at Stormpath. I gotta say, life is great as an open-source developer! Yes, I did start working for them as a consultant in April, so it's not a huge change for me. However, I only recently realized I haven't written a single line of proprietary code the entire time. My GitHub contributions look pretty good this year. They're nothing like @mojavelinux's or @dsyer's, but I'll get there. Wink

  • The Power of Collaboration and Open Source

  • Big Data: Why you must consider open source

    A quiet revolution has been taking place in the technology world in recent years. The popularity of Open Source software has soared as more and more businesses have realized the value of moving away from walled-in, proprietary technologies of old.

    And it’s no coincidence that this transformation has taken place in parallel with the explosion of interest in Big Data and analytics. The modular, fluid and constantly-evolving nature of Open Source is in synch with the needs of cutting edge analytics projects for faster, more flexible and, vitally, more secure systems and platforms with which to implement them.

  • Why Open Source Is The Future of Software-Defined-Infrastructure

    Gone are those days when proprietary hardware boxes ruled the roost within data centers. We are propelling towards a very differently-architectured data center where software plays the key role. The era of 'Software-Defined-Everything' is upon us!

    It thus comes as no surprise that enterprises are opting for Open Standards and technologies as their preferred choice for software platforms and operating systems. A recent research paper from IDC states that 85 percent of the surveyed enterprises globally consider Open Source to be the realistic or preferred solution for migrating to Software-Defined-Infrastructure. IDC also recommends to avoid vendor lock-in by deploying Open Source solutions.

  • 9 rules for the proper care and feeding of communities and carnivorous plants

    In 2016, I adopted my first carnivorous plants, a Venus Fly Trap and a Pitcher Plant, which my Facebook friends named Gordon and Bananarama, respectively. I quickly discovered that the health of Gordon and Bananarama was closely connected to the environment I provided as much as to their ability to catch the occasional bug and get energy from the sun. In this article, I'll pull from my experience working with open source communities—and a few months of experience keeping Gordon and Bananarama alive—to explain how caring for carnivorous plants is much like caring for a community.

  • Multiple content processes in Firefox Nightly

    Mozilla revealed yesterday that it plans to enable multiple content processes in Firefox Nightly, the cutting edge development version of the web browser.

    Firefox's multi-process architecture is not yet enabled for all users of the stable version of the browser, currently on version 49.x, but plans are already underway to improve multi-process Firefox.

  • Firefox & Electrolysis - Oxygen for all?

    In these early days of testing and tweaking and gradual and yet incomplete deployment, Firefox with Electrolysis behaves fairly well. On a test box, which is not something that you should ever consider for your production. But overall, apart from the somewhat convoluted setup, it delivered desirable, predictable results.

    However, there was no revolution. Memory and processor utilization were roughly the same as before, and so was the performance, neatly accompanied by a blessedly stable and crash-free experience during my test session. The benefits of the security isolation and going multi will only become apparent in the future, once additional improvements and optimization are added, and once people really start using the feature in earnest. But it is definitely the right step in the right direction. Firefox definitely needs a bit of fresh vitamins, and this just might be what users crave. Anyhow, this be the first test, but it sure ain't the last. See you around, and please heed my findings with a big pinch of salt.

  • Growing Our Build Farm

    We have received our new server for continuous builds of the GNU Guix system, and are putting the finishing touches on its installation. The machine is intended as an eventual replacement for hydra.gnu.org, a virtual machine kindly hosted by the FSF. The new machine will drive our build farm, which continuously compiles the GNU system, and it will feed the mirror with binary packages, so that end users who do not wish to compile packages by themselves can easily keep up-to-date. Time to report on the adventure! This first part covers the hardware.

    Buying the new machine has been made possible through a very generous donation by Igalia to Guix Europe. Igalia is a free software consultancy well known for its involvement in the development of the GNOME stack, GStreamer, the JavaScript compilers of Web browsers, and more, promoting values close to the GNU Guix project. It is heartening that the company is helping us towards our goal of creating a free system that liberates its users to take their computing and data processing needs into their own hands!

  • Enter a Melting Rainbow Universe Fueled by Open-Source Art Tools

    Neon colors explode and transmute abstract patterns in the expressive psychedelic prints of digital artist Zouassi. The massive archive of work by this mysterious glitch artist ranges from the abstract and decorative to the expressive and naturalistic. However, it's hard to categorize his work as a whole because no two canvases look the same. Each colorscape is contained within a distinct pattern or mixture pool that explores different modes of texture and composition.

  • 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.
