Why Every SysAdmin Should Understand ISO/IEC 27001:2022

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.

Some Things You Might Not Know About Custom Counter Styles

by: Geoff Graham Thu, 23 Jan 2025 17:21:15 +0000 I was reading through Juan’s recent Almanac entry for the @counter-style at-rule and I’ll be darned if he didn’t uncover and unpack some extremely interesting things that we can do to style lists, notably the list marker. You’re probably already aware of the ::marker pseudo-element. You’ve more than likely dabbled with custom counters using counter-reset and counter-increment.

21 Jargon Every Linux User Should Know

by: Ankush Das Whether you are a Windows/macOS user, or someone who is new to computers, Linux often comes as a challenge to everyone when they encounter unfamiliar terms.

Creating a “Starred” Feed
