Harden and Secure Linux Servers by Level (1 - 6)

Securing a Linux server is an ongoing challenge. Every day, bad actors attempt to penetrate systems worldwide, using VPNs, IP spoofing, and other evasion tactics to obscure their origins. The source of an attack is often the least of your concerns, what matters most is implementing strong security measures to deter threats and protect your infrastructure. Hardening your servers not only makes them more resilient but also forces attackers to either move on or, ideally, abandon their efforts altog

Installing Arch Linux with BTRFS and Disk Encryption

by: Sreenath On our Arch installation video, a viewer requested a tutorial on installing Arch but with BTRFS and with encryption enabled. And hence this tutorial came into existence.

Container query units: cqi and cqb

by: Geoff Graham Thu, 06 Feb 2025 15:29:35 +0000 A little gem from Kevin Powell’s “HTML & CSS Tip of the Week” website, reminding us that using container queries opens up container query units for sizing things based on the size of the queried container. So, 1cqi is equivalent to 1% of the container’s inline size, and 1cqb is equal to 1% of the container’s block size. I’d be remiss not to mention the cqmin and cqmax units, which evaluate either the container’s inline or block si

Deleting Linux Entry from Boot Menu from Windows After Removing Linux

by: Abhishek Prakash Recently, I bought an Asus Zenbook and dual booted it with Ubuntu. But Ubuntu 24.04 didn't perform well on the new hardware and thus I removed Ubuntu from dual boot. This is typically done by moving the Windows boot manager up the boot order and deleting the Linux partition from within Windows. The annoyance is that Linux will still show up in the UEFI boot settings. Although it doesn't hurt to leave it there, it triggers some sort of OCD in me to get a pristine system w

Missing Windows from Grub After Dual Boot? Here's What You Can Do

ArmSoM CM5: Powerful Replacement for Raspberry Pi CM4

by: Abhishek Kumar From the title, you might be thinking: yet another clickbait post. But I mean it when I say this, ArmSoM has truly delivered something special. ArmSoM, yet again, has sent us their Compute Module 5 (CM5) with its IO board for review. Last time, I tested and reviewed their AIM7 board, and my head was blown by its sheer performance. With an RK3588 SoC, 8GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage, it was a beast. This time around, we’re looking at the CM5, powered by the RK3576, a slight

They are middlemen between the browser and the network and I can imagine really dinking that up, myself. Not to dissuade you from using them, as they can useful things no other technology can do.
