The Linux Foundation hosted the executive director of the FreeBSD Foundation, Deb Goodkin, at the Open Source Summit in San Diego. The post Interview With The The FreeBSD Foundation Executive Director appeared first on Linux.com.

In computing, a kernel is the low-level software that handles communication with hardware and general system coordination. Aside from some initial firmware built into your computer's motherboard, when you start your computer, the kernel is what provides awareness that it has a hard drive and a screen and a keyboard and a network card. It's also the kernel's job to ensure equal time (more or less) is given to each component so that your graphics and audio and filesystem and network all run smoothly, even though they're running concurrently. You don't have to compile the Linux kernel but you can with this quick tutorial.

Nginx, the most popular open-source, HTTP and reverse proxy server with high-performance, use to handle the load of largest sites on the internet.

This past year, VMware doubled their acquisitions pace. The buying spree is part of VMware's efforts to transform itself from its roots as a virtualization company into a container and Kubernetes (and yes, virtualization) focused cloud-everything company.

Ryan "Icculus" Gordon has released a new open source tool today named alTrace, to help developers of games and software using OpenAL.

MongoDB is an open-source database management system that belongs to a family of NoSQL. NoSQL is different from traditional table-based SQL databases (MySQL and PostgreSQL) – the data is stored in flexible JSON-like documents with no pre-defined schema, which allows for large changes to be made to databases with no downtime. Let’s get started with the installation.

The University of California, Los Angeles, (UCLA) Library houses a collection of millions of rare and unique objects, including materials dating from 3000 BCE, that could be damaged, destroyed, or otherwise threatened if they were displayed. To make these special collections widely available while keeping them secure, the UCLA Library has been modernizing its digital repository, which was established 15 years ago on now-outdated software.

Monolith is a command line tool to save any web page as a single HTML file that contains everything needed to render web page locally, without needing a working Internet connection.

At the Open Source Summit in San Diego, California on August 21, the Linux Foundation announced the formation of the Confidential Computing Consortium. Confidential computing is an approach using encrypted data that enables organizations to share and collaborate, while still maintaining privacy.

The concept of "Open" at the Linux Foundation gives room for thought; are things really being opened or mostly marketed as "Open" and, if so, is the Foundation more like a marketing agency?

A reluctant former ProdOps pro's story of learning to love DevOps.

In this article, we will explain two ways for you to convert all spaces in filenames to underscores, simply through the command line.

In Continuous integration testing for the Linux kernel, I wrote about the Continuous Kernel Integration (CKI) project and its mission to change how kernel developers and maintainers work. This article is a deep dive into some of the more technical aspects of the project and how all the pieces fit together. read more

FreeRADIUS is a free and open-source client/server protocol that provides centralized network authentication on systems and daloRADIUS is a web-based application for managing RADIUS server. In this tutorial, I will explain step by step how to install FreeRADIUS and Daloradius on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Learn, how to configure raw disk as an ASM disk in Linux.

The word innovation gets bandied about in the tech industry almost as much as revolution, so it can be difficult to differentiate hyperbole from something that’s actually exciting. The Linux kernel has been called innovative, but then again it’s also been called the biggest hack in modern computing, a monolith in a micro world. Setting aside marketing and modeling, Linux is arguably the most popular kernel of the open source world, and it’s introduced some real game-changers over its nearly 30-year life span.

MySQL allows you to create multiple user accounts and grant appropriate privileges so that users can connect and manage databases. If the user account is no longer needed, it is a good idea to either remove the user privileges or to completely delete the user account. This tutorial explains how to delete MySQL/MariaDB user accounts.

Natural language processing (NLP) is a set of techniques for using computers to detect in human language the kinds of things that humans detect automatically.

An AWK array can be something like a lookup table, held in memory. You can use that lookup table for data operations on another file, and in this post I demonstrate reformatting and table joining.

I love learning the what, why, and how of new open source projects, especially when they gain popularity in the DevOps space. Classification as a "DevOps technology" tends to mean scalable, collaborative systems that go across a broad range of challenges—from message bus to monitoring and back again. There is always something new to explore, install, spin up, and explore.
