How to Install and Use Wine on Ubuntu 20.04 | Linuxize [2]
Wine is an open-source compatibility layer that allows you to run Windows applications on Unix-like operating systems such as Linux, FreeBSD, and macOS. Wine is an acronym for ?Wine Is Not an Emulator?. It translates Windows system calls into equivalent POSIX calls used by Unix-based operating systems, allowing you to seamlessly integrate Windows programs into your desktop environment.
Not all Windows applications will run in Wine, and even if they do, they may not behave in the same way they normally would. The Wine AppDB is a database containing a list of applications that have been tested and confirmed to work under Wine. Wine isn?t always the best option to run Windows programs on Linux. You can also use a virtualization tool like VirtualBox or VMware , but they require more system resources and a Windows installation file.
Linux Basename Command ? Strip Directory from Filename - Putorius[3]
The basename command is another gem provided by the GNU Core Utilities. It has very few options and provides a simple function, to remove the directory components from a path. It also comes in very handy for removing file extensions (SUFFIX) from a filename. In this quick tutorial, we will show you how to use the basename command and it?s options with real world examples.
Terraform Hack: Shared Config Snippets with Sub-Templates - YouTube[4] I was doing a Terraform setup for infrastructure that includes consul, nomad, and a few other types of nodes in AWS. Because I'm passing the instance-configuration code (setup scripts) in as cloud-init scripts, there is a TON of duplication across nodes.
DYI KVM over IP with pikvm | dennogumi.org [5]
As I mentioned in some other posts, I have a small ?server? which I use as a NAS to provide archiving for photos and other files of interest. As it runs in a remarkably small (and quiet) enclosure, I?ve managed to put it in an incospicuous part of the room it is in. For the most part, it runs without a hitch: but in some (rare) occasions it needs to be looked at, and sometimes either logging via SSH is not possible, or it is not enough to diagnose the problem. In other words, I need to check what?s on the display. And the position it is in means that attaching a monitor and a keyboard can be inconvenient at best. In other words, I needed out- of-band management.
How To Install LibreOffice on Debian 10 - idroot [6]
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install LibreOffice on Debian 10. For those of you who didn?t know, LibreOffice is the best alternative for Ms Office. It is a powerful no-cost office suite for creating spreadsheets, slide shows, and databases. It is the open-sourced version of the earlier StarOffice. LibreOffice available in 115 languages and even used by millions of people all around the world. The latest LibreOffice 8 is available to download and mount on the Linux system.
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 through the step by step installation of LibreOffice on a Debian 10 (Buster).
