I've always been quite a fan of minimalist/light distros. They have ability to work on many computers where others do not come. One of my recent discoveries is 4MLinux, a much smaller distro, almost a miniature of what we are accustomed to to see, but able to do amazing things.

Phytec is prepping three PhyCore COMs based on NXP’s Cortex-A53 based i.MX8M, its -A53 and -A72 equipped i.MX8 Quad, and its -A35 based i.MX8X. Also up: an SBC based on the i.MX8M module. Phytec has posted product pages for three PhyCore modules, all of which support Linux and offer a -40 to 85°C temperature range.

Hong Kong can be hot and humid, even at night, and many people use air conditioning to make their homes more bearable. When my oldest son was a baby, the air conditioning unit in his bedroom had manual controls and no thermostat functionality.

Search ‘Ubuntu based distros’ on Google and laugh at the recommendations as Google shows Arch, Debian etc in the search result.

This article was co-written with Lacey Williams Henschel. ChatOps is conversation-driven development. The idea is you can write code that is executed in response to something typed in a chat window. As a developer, you could use ChatOps to merge pull requests from Slack, automatically assign a support ticket to someone from a received Facebook message, or check the status of a deployment through IRC. read more

VIDEO: The jury ruled that Google didn't owe Oracle any money for its use of Java's APIs in Android, but the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit disagreed and overruled the jury. Software development as a whole and billions of dollars are now at stake.

Back in the bad old days, setting up basic HTTPS with a certificate authority cost as much as several hundred dollars per year, and the process was difficult and error-prone to set up. Now we have Let's Encrypt for free, and the whole thing takes just a few minutes.

Python is a interactive and object-oriented scripting language. It is one of the most popular programming languages. Python is a general purpose programming language designed to be highly readable. It is using English keywords instead of punctuation and it also has fewer syntactical constructions than other programming languages and it allows developers to use different programming styles for creating their programs, and write code almost as if speaking in a human language. Installing Python 3.6.4 on a Debian VPS, is an easy task, just follow the steps below carefully and you should have Python 3.6.4 on Debian 9 installed in few minutes.

Every process that's executed on a computer system requires CPU to do what it is expected to do. There may be times when your system's CPU is overloaded (due to the number or kind of processes running on the system), and for whatever reason, you want to know the number of available processing units for new processes. Well, there's a tool dubbed nproc that you can use to confirm this information.

After the whole Facebook Cambridge Analytica scandal, many companies took measures to protect their clients, including Mozilla, which released a free Firefox add-on to protect the privacy of its users.

In a surprise announcement, Solomon Hykes reveals he is leaving Docker Inc. The company he created and the movement he started are both very different in 2018 than when he started the company ten years ago.

Ten years ago, a wet-behind-the-ears 24-year-old, Solomon Hykes, started a company that redefined "mobility" and paved the way for the hybrid cloud.

I get asked all the time about the different security measures used to control what container processes on a system can do. Most of these I covered in previous articles on Opensource.com: read more

By profession, I'm a software developer. Aside from a preferred editor, what matters most to a developer is the use of a Source Code Manager (SCM). So, when a new product comes along featuring my favorite SCM, Git, I had no choice but to spend some time using it.

The US Court of Appeals has reversed a 2016 jury decision on Google's use of Oracle's Java APIs as fair use. The damages could amount to nearly $9 billion for Google.
