Many people ask me: "Which distributed version control system should I use for my programming project, GitHub or GitLab?" It's not that simple a question. Let's break it down, shall we?

The North American Linux giant isn't the only one. SUSE, the European Union Linux powerhouse, is also suspending direct sales to Russian groups.

Linux has yet another high-severity vulnerability that makes it easy for untrusted users to execute code capable of carrying out a host of malicious actions, including installing backdoors, creating unauthorized user accounts, and modifying scripts or binaries used by privileged services or apps.

Last month we created new Firefox desktop colorways celebrating Disney and Pixar’s “Turning Red” streaming only on Disney+ March 11 (subscription required. 18+ to subscribe). It’s a fun way to show your personality by changing the way your Firefox browser looks, with colors and moods inspired by some of the main characters in the film.

DataStax has released a new open-source Kubernetes operator for Cassandra, the wide-column store distributed database about to work across multiple clusters for the first time.

This tutorial will show you step-by-stop on how to run Checkmk in a Docker container.

It has been estimated that Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) constitutes 70-90% of any given piece of modern software solutions. FOSS is an increasingly vital resource in nearly all industries, public and private sectors, among tech and non-tech companies alike. Therefore, ensuring the health and security of FOSS is critical to the future of nearly all industries in the modern economy.

Nexcom’s rugged, Linux-ready “NISE 109” embedded PC combines Intel’s Elkhart Lake with up to 16GB DDR4, 2x GbE, 6x USB, 4x COM, 2.5-inch SATA, DP, HDMI, M.2, and mini-PCIe.

The Phoronix Test Suite (PTS)[1] is a comprehensive testing and benchmarking platform for assessing the performance of Linux systems. In this context, while comparing the performance of Oracle Linux 7 (OL7) and Oracle Linux 8 (OL8), where both are using the same kernel version, we noticed substantial performance deltas ranging up to 30% between the two. To investigate these deltas, we performed detailed analysis to identify the reasons. The resulting analysis has helped us to be cognizant of the importance of tool-chain versions and builds when making performance comparisions.

In this guide, you will learn how Docker volumes interact with containers. You will do this by creating new containers and using volumes to store and share data between them. Then, you'll discover how to clear up space that is left behind by anonymous volumes that are automatically generated by the containers. Finally, you'll learn how to back up your Docker volumes data.

The primary goal of firewall penetration testing is to prevent unauthorized internet access to your organization's internal network, or check to make sure your security policy is doing what you think it's doing. In order to successfully test your organization's firewall, you must think like the adversary. Collecting intelligence on the network, such as operating system and firewall type, are important to know in order to proceed with the penetration test.

There are lots of reasons to build your own Linux distribution. Some projects strive for license purity, others for performance, and some for a multitude of features. Then there are projects which aim to present a certain look, whether it is unique or a copy of another operating system. This week we begin with a look at XeroLinux, a project which strives to offer lots of eye candy on top of an Arch Linux base. Are you interested in developing your own operating system?

Container platforms and edge computing continue to grow, powering major networks and applications across the globe, and Java technologies have evolved new features and improved performance to match steps with modern infrastructure.

A groupware solution is a must-have, whether you're working in a small organization, a medium-sized company, or a large enterprise. It promotes collaboration and glues teams together. Are you looking for an open source alternative to the big players? Maybe EGroupware can replace Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace in your team soon.

Argon Forty loves releasing cases with names that have permutations of the word “ONE.” So far we’ve had the Argon ONE (and M.2), NEO and now we have the EON. But rather than another wedge shaped Raspberry Pi case bound for our desktop, the EON is bound for our living room, office or small business where it helps turn your Pi into a network-attached storage drive (NAS).

The National Science Foundation (NSF) wants to grow the community of researchers who develop and contribute to open source and enable pathways for collaboration that lead to new technologies that have broad impacts on society.

If you’ve ever tried to run a script from the command line in Linux and gotten an error message saying that it’s not executable or attempted to enter a directory only to be blocked by the system, you probably don’t have permissions to do those things. Fortunately, if you have the proper rights or the ability to act as a super user (accessible by using sudo), you can change the permissions on files and directories.
