LHB Linux Digest #25.29: Git for DevOps eBook, getfacl, Crontab Recovery and More

by: Abhishek Prakash Fri, 03 Oct 2025 17:22:02 +0530 The Git for DevOps course has been converted into an eBook. Considering that it is less hands-on and more theory, it makes sense to read it as book. LHB Pro members can download the ebook for free from the resources page (scroll down a bit). If you are not a Pro member yet, either opt for one and get access to everything we create or just purchase this eBook. One more chapter has been added to the systemd automation course.

FOSS Weekly #25.40: Fedora 43 Features, Kernel 6.17, Zorin OS 18, Retro Gaming Setup and More Linux Stuff

by: Abhishek Prakash Thu, 02 Oct 2025 04:43:03 GMT Last month, Austria's armed forces ditched Microsoft Office for LibreOffice. This is surely positive news, but it also makes us think about something crucial. The move to switch to open source is often driven by monetary benefits. Since these organizations often save a hefty amount, should they not contribute some part of their savings back to the open source project they are relying on? What do you think?

411: The Power of Tree-Sitter

by: Chris Coyier Wed, 01 Oct 2025 13:24:46 +0000 Alex and Chris hop on the show to talk about a bit of technology that Alex calls “The 2nd best technological choice he’s ever made.” That technology is called Tree-sitter. It’s a code parsing tool for building ASTs (Abstract Syntax Trees) out of code. GitHub uses it to power search and “go to” functionality. The creators now work on Zen, where a code parser is paramount. We use it to understand an entire Pen very quickly so we can understand how

Same Idea, Different Paint Brush

by: Geoff Graham Wed, 01 Oct 2025 13:02:47 +0000 There’s the idiom that says everything looks like a nail when all you have is a hammer. I also like the one about worms in horseradish seeing the world as horseradish. That’s what it felt like for me as I worked on music for an album of covers I released yesterday. I was raised by my mother, a former high school art teacher (and a gifted artist in her own right), who exposed me to a lot of different tools and materials for painting an

When Should Testing Start in the Development Process? – Complete Guide

by: Neeraj Mishra Wed, 01 Oct 2025 07:33:55 +0000 Typically speaking, developing software is a long series of stages that starts with requirements gathering to development to testing, to final release. Each stage requires the respective members to contribute to the final development of the product in their own capacity. The business analyst’s job is to collect requirements from the client and validate their feasibility with a technical architect. The technical architect studies the whole enviro

Utilizing My Raspberry Pi 4 for Retro Gaming With RetroPie

by: Abhishek Kumar Wed, 01 Oct 2025 05:59:24 GMT Do you remember the thrill of powering up your old console, the satisfying clunk of the cartridge clicking into place, and the vibrant, pixelated characters that transported you to another realm? Whether you were a Mario fanatic (like me), a Sonic speedster, or a Pokémon trainer, those retro games hold a special place in our hearts. Thanks to RetroPie, you can dive back into your favorite classic games. This is one of the easier projects you

Chris’ Corner: Word Search

by: Chris Coyier Mon, 29 Sep 2025 17:01:13 +0000 My daughter had a little phase of being into Word Searches. I found it to be a cool dad moment when I was like “I’ll make you a tool to make them!”. That’s what she was into. She liked doing them OK, but she really liked the idea of making them. So my tool starts with a blank grid where you can type in your words, then fill in the blanks with random letters, then print it. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this type of simple game with simple well

Touring New CSS Features in Safari 26

by: Juan Diego Rodríguez Mon, 29 Sep 2025 14:31:16 +0000 A couple of days ago, the Apple team released Safari 26.0! Is it a big deal? I mean, browsers release new versions all the time, where they sprinkle in a couple or few new features. They are, of course, all useful, but there aren’t usually a lot of “big leaps” between versions. Safari 26 is different, though. It introduces a lot of new stuff. To be precise, it adds: 75 new features, 3 deprecations, and 171 other improvements. I’d offi

Simulating and Detecting Malware Attacks on Linux With ClamAV

by: Hangga Aji Sayekti Mon, 29 Sep 2025 13:43:24 +0530 Linux may feel secure, but it’s not immune to malware. Servers, VPS, and even IoT devices can be targeted by malicious actors. The good news? You can detect and defend against some threats using ClamAV, an open-source antivirus engine. Now, ClamAV is not your typical antivirus, as it may throw plenty of false positives and you need to analyze if there are actual threats. In this guide, I’ll show you how to simulate malware attacks safely u

13 Amazingly Innovative 3D Printed Cases for Raspberry Pi I Came Across

by: Abhishek Kumar Sat, 27 Sep 2025 11:22:07 GMT There are plenty of cool cases you can buy for your Raspberry Pi. But here's the thing. Mass-produce products often restrict creativity. And I am glad to live in a connected creative internet where people share their creations with each other. I am going to share some of my favorite 3D printed Raspberry Pi cases I have come across.

Recreating Gmail’s Google Gemini Animation

by: John Rhea Fri, 26 Sep 2025 14:45:13 +0000 I always see this Google Gemini button up in the corner in Gmail. When you hover over it, it does this cool animation where the little four-pointed star spins and the outer shape morphs between a couple different shapes that are also spinning. I challenged myself to recreate the button using the new CSS shape() function sprinkled with animation to get things pretty close. Let me walk you through it. Drawing the Shapes Breaking it d

LHB Linux Digest #25.28: New Git For DevOps Course, Emacs Guide, Self-hosted Cloud Storage and More

by: Abhishek Prakash Fri, 26 Sep 2025 13:14:55 +0530 As I promised in the previous newsletter, we have published the Git for DevOps course. Unlike most of our courses, this one has more theory than hands-on. We did that deliberately, as many Git courses out there only explain commands, not the underlying concepts. And that creates a knowledge gap. Git for DevOpsGain the right knowledge. Learn the core principles of Git instead of jumping straight into git commands.Linux HandbookMead NajiThis c

Chapter 2: Git Architecture

by: Sreenath V Thu, 25 Sep 2025 14:49:24 +0530 When you build any project, the first question you need to answer is what you need as requirements, or what you want to build to solve the problem that you have. Suppose I want to rebuild Git from scratch. I will not go to the developer and say "build Git," and the developer will start coding it. Of course not. You will first sit with the developer and start explaining what problem you want to solve, or what are the things you do manually that take
