Wordpress is a free and open source blogging tool and CMS used by millions of people in the world. Its simplicity, power and flexibility places it as a top choice for people to use and developers to recommend. It has come a long way from its release in May, 2013. It consists of tons of themes, plugins and features that help the user to obtain speed, security and reliability.

This post describes how to build a search engine with Apache Nutch and use MongoDB as the data-store, then index the crawled data using ElasticSearch and finally visualize the indexed data with Kibana.

No, really! While on a normal day, the word "Microsoft" can be used as an antonym for "Open", the world of .NET seems to be going legitimately open source.

Simple Ads Manager is a plugin that we’d evaluated about a year ago. It was deactivated, but we’d failed to remove it from the server after we’d determined that it wouldn’t meet our needs. Bad move. The cracker/hackers had found it.

It definitely matches the "v4.0 is supposed to be a _stable_ release", and very much not about new experimental features etc. I'm personally so much happier with time-based releases than the bad old days when we had feature-based releases.

We’ve updated our Installation Media to include all of the latest packages available in the Arch Repos. The most notable updates are our installer, Cnchi v.0.8.0 (released earlier today) and GNOME 3.16. Our Live Install Image includes a fully working GNOME 3.16 environment that you can use before making any changes to your system.

In today's open source roundup: The differences between Android and Linux distros. Plus: Linus releases Linux kernel 4.0. And the best apps and extensions for Chromebooks?

In this tutorial, you’ll read how to dual-boot LMDE 2, the latest release, and Windows 7 on a computer with UEFI firmware.

Linux hits a new milestone, as live kernel patching lands in the new release. Linux Torvalds, however, doesn't see a lot of special new features in Linux 4.0.

The major issue was that package management didn't work through the GUI or CLI. Whether the live system accurately portrayed issues with the installed distribution or inaccurately had separate issues, this is a deal-breaker (for me at least)

We use git extensively for documentation in OpenStack so that we can "treat the docs like the code"—and I’m seeing this trend many places especially in the Write the Docs community. read more

OpenEmbed announced a “SOM5360″ module that runs Linux or Android on a Cortex-A5 Atmel SAM5D34 SoC. The COM adds a Cortex-M3 chip plus CAN and LCD I/O. Shenzhen OpenEmbed M&C Ltd (OpenEmbed) recently launched an IoT-focused computer-on-module built around the Cortex-A5 based Atmel SAMA5D34 system-on-chip. The single-core, 536MHz SoC found on the SOM5360 COM is […]

As I'm sure you were carefully anticipating, on Tuesday, April 7th, the US Patent and Trademark Office issued patent 9,000,000. As you of course are already aware, over the past few decades, the USPTO has been rapidly ramping up the number of patents it approves. That's why, even though patents only have a lifetime of 20 years from the date of application, 1/3 of all issued patents are still in force today. Think about that.

If you need to run a MySQL server on a remote VPS instance, how will you manage databases hosted by the server remotely? Perhaps web-based database administration tools such as phpMyAdmin or Adminer will first come to mind. These web-based management tools require a backend web server and PHP engine up and running. However, if […]Continue reading... The post How to manage remote MySQL databases on Linux VPS using a GUI tool appeared first on Xmodulo.

Go to the networking and speaking events of any local startup community in America and you'll quickly discover a dominant theme: investment. Read any startup news site and you'll see the same hyper-focus on fundraising. Websites like AngelList and CrunchBase are wholly dedicated to facilitating capital acquisition and documenting who's succeeded at it. With so much of the conversation in these circles centered around how to attract early-stage investment through an image of extreme profitability, open source businesses easily fly below the radar. read more

Linus Torvalds just anounced the release of Linux Kernel 4.0, as expected after the RC7 release, last week.

We've updated our installation media to include all of the latest packages available in the Arch Repos. The most notable updates are our installer, Cnchi v.0.8.0 (released earlier today) and GNOME 3.16. Our Live Install Image includes a fully working GNOME 3.16 environment that you can use before making any changes to your system. Our Minimal Install Image includes only what is required to run our installer and thus offers a much smaller initial download.

Torvalds looses neatened number feat. non-disruptive patches, Z13 support and more Linux 4.0 is upon us.…

In this config we will setup a python virtualenv. The intention behind the use of virtualenv as a python development environment is to separate global system installed executables and libraries with packages installed directly inside virtualenv. As a result, one is able to test a given python application with multiple system environments on a single host.

Today, April 12 is a big day for all fans of the Open Source movement, as Linus Torvalds had the pleasure of announcing the immediate availability for download of the highly anticipated Linux kernel 4.0.
