It sends requests from the client?s end to the server end and conveys data from the server to the client. Well, that is enough to know about the HTTP protocol if you are a regular internet user. If you are a server administrator or a network manager or host your own website on an Nginx server, you need to know more about HTTP, HTTP/2.0, and how to enable HTTP/2.0 in the Nginx server. How to manage Linux container registries | Enable Sysadmin [3] If we have a close look at LEGO® products, we can see that they are all made of the same building blocks. However, the composition of these blocks is the key differentiator for whether we are building a castle or space ship. It's pretty much the same for Podman, and its sibling projects Buildah, Skopeo, and CRI-O. However, instead of recycled plastic, the building blocks for our container tools are made of open source code. Sharing these building blocks allows us to provide rock-solid, enterprise-grade container tools. Features ship faster, bugs are fixed quicker, and the code is battle-tested. And, well, instead of bringing joy into playrooms, the container tools bring joy into data centers and workstations. TeXstudio 3.0.5 Released, Install it via Official Ubuntu PPA | UbuntuHandbook[4] TeXstudio released new 3.0.5 version a few days ago with important bug-fixes. Here?s how to install or update it in Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 20.10 via PPA. Migrate To AlmaLinux From CentOS 8 Using Almalinux-deploy Script - OSTechNix[5] Good news, Enterprise Linux users! The much anticipated AlmaLinux migration tool is released!! I guess we don't need to rely on the unofficial AlmaLinux migration method anymore. The official script named Almalinux-deploy that helps you to migrate to AlmaLinux from CentOS 8 is out. It is time to convert your CentOS machines (hopefully other Enterprise Linux systems) to AlmaLinux. The almalinux-deploy script is written in Bash and the source code is available in GitHub. What is PPA Purge? How to Use it in Ubuntu and other Debian-based Distributions?[6] PA is a popular method of installing additional applications or newer versions of a software in Ubuntu. I have written a detailed guide on PPA so I will just quickly recall it here. PPA is a mechanism developed by Ubuntu to enable developers to provide their own repositories. When you add a PPA, you add additional repository to your system and thus you can download applications from this additional repository.

As operating systems, storage devices and BackupEDGE 3.x usage needs and tendencies have changed over the years, it has continuously met the challenge of providing inexpensive, stable backup and disaster recovery on a variety of UNIX and Linux platforms. Clients routinely find new and clever ways to utilize products. Storage devices have taken on new and exciting features, and incredible capacities. Products designed years ago had built-in limits that were thought to be beyond comprehension. Today, these limits are routinely exceeded. The need for data security is even more apparent. We’re constantly asking our To continue to meet the evolving needs of our clients, we are always clients what tools our asking what features of our products they find most useful, what products need to serve them improvements we can make, and what new requirements they have. better. We’ve used this knowledge to map out new product strategies designed to anticipate the needs of the next generation of users, systems and storage products. This has resulted in the creation of BackupEDGE 3.x, with a combination of internal improvements, new features and enhanced infrastructure designed to become the backbone of a new generation of storage software. Summary of Major Changes and Additions BackupEDGE 3.x features include: • Improvements to partition sizing, UEFI table cleanup after DR, and SharpDrive debugging (03.04.01 build 3). • Support for Rocky Linux 8.4 and AlmaLinux 8.4 (03.04.01 build 2).

Connection information for class You will receive an email containing the specific login information for your screenshare and phone bridge, as well as exact dates and times, no later than the week before the class is scheduled. If you have any further questions after reading this document, the answer may be found in the FAQ on the website: http://bit.ly/LF-FAQ or https://training.linuxfoundation.org/about/faqs/general-faq/ Specific instructions for your course will be addressed in the Appendix. Contents 1 Hardware Requirements 1 2 Networking, Screenshare and Audio or Telephone Requirements 3 3 Software Requirements 3 Appendices 5 A Course-Specific Hardware and/or Software Requirements 5 B More Details on Installing Linux 11 1 Hardware Requirements Students are expected to provide their own computers for Linux Foundation courses. The following instructions should make clear the specifics that apply to you. All courses have slightly different HW requirements. Specific HW requirements for your class can be found in the Appendix. The Linux Foundation logistical staff may be consulted as required for further clarification. 1.1 Using a Virtual Machine Instead Virtual Machines If you elect to use a Virtual Machine (instead of native Linux) bear in mind that the hard- ware requirements double, since you now need enough CPU/RAM for the host operating system as well as the guest OS. 1 1.2 Pre-Built Virtual Machine Images 2 Using a VM for this course can make things faster/easier; if you make a fatal mistake, a simple reboot of the VM will restore things to normal.

    Published on Tux Machines (http://www.tuxmachines.org) Home > content > IBM: Latest on Fedora 34 and Alternative to CentOS, AlmaLinux IBM: Latest on Fedora 34 and Alternative to CentOS, AlmaLinux By Roy Schestowitz Created 13/01/2021 - 8:49pm Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Wednesday 13th of January 2021 08:49:05 PM Filed under Red Hat [1] Fedora 34 To Ship An ISO With The i3 Window Manager - Phoronix [2] While the i3 window manager has been around for more than a decade, it's taken until now for an i3 window manager spin of Fedora to be solicited and approved. Following the creation of a Fedora i3 special interest group last year, approved this week is providing an official Fedora spin with the i3 window manager in place of other desktop environments / window managers. This is the first Fedora release image to make use of a tiling window manager. Fedora Looks To Overhaul Its Community Outreach - Phoronix [3] In addition to pursuing many technical changes for its Linux distribution like systemd-oomd by default, Btrfs Zstd compression, and standalone XWayland releases, the Fedora project is also looking to overhaul its community outreach this year. Fedora's "Community Outreach Revamp" is to focus on existing outreach teams within Fedora that are "struggling to function" or need greater support for success.
