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

Why Every SysAdmin Should Understand ISO/IEC 27001:2022

In today’s digital landscape, the role of a System Administrator (SysAdmin) extends far beyond server uptime and software updates. With cyber threats evolving daily, understanding key information security standards like ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is no longer optional, it’s essential. This international standard provides a robust framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continuously improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). For SysAdmins, mastering ISO/IEC 27001 isn’t

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. You may not necessarily purchase them but most of them share their models and files. This gives you an opportuni

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

Git for DevOps

by: Mead Naji Thu, 25 Sep 2025 14:33:55 +0530 As a system admin, a DevOps engineer, or even a developer, working with a version control system, or in short VCS, is not a choice. You need to master how to work with one of the available VCS tools in order to be able to collaborate and work on a team for a project. A VCS is a way to record changes to single or multiple files over time and lets you control and retrieve a specific version later when you need it. Suppose you are working on an applica

FOSS Weekly #25.39: Kill Switch Phones, LMDE 7, Zorin OS 18 Beta, Polybar, Apt History and More Linux Stuff

by: Abhishek Prakash Thu, 25 Sep 2025 04:40:13 GMT There were two smartphone launches recently, both with hardware kill switches. One is the Murena-powered HIROH Phone, and the other is the Furi Labs FLX1s. FLX1s uses a Debian based operating system. Now, these are not necessarily for everyone, and they sure are not cheap. I mean, they might not be as expensive as iPhones or Samsung Galaxy S series, but they are surely in the mid-range. These are more suited for journalists and activists wh

CSS Typed Arithmetic

by: Amit Sheen Wed, 24 Sep 2025 12:49:22 +0000 CSS typed arithmetic is genuinely exciting! It opens the door to new kinds of layout composition and animation logic we could only hack before. The first time I published something that leaned on typed arithmetic was in this animation: CodePen Embed Fallback But before we dive into what is happening in there, let’s pause and get clear on what typed arithmetic actually is and why it matters for CSS.

Advanced Automation with systemd

by: Umair Khurshid Wed, 24 Sep 2025 16:57:20 +0530 Unlock the full potential of your Linux system by replacing the classic cron jobs with modern, powerful systemd automation. Learn how to schedule, monitor, sandbox, and optimize automated workflows like a pro, all while leveraging the same tools used by your Linux system itself. Why systemd instead of cron? Cron has been around for decades, but it’s limited. It can’t monitor dependencies, doesn’t integrate with system logging, and has no nativ

410: Trying to help humans in an industry that is becoming increasingly non-human

by: Chris Coyier Tue, 23 Sep 2025 17:33:00 +0000 Chris & Marie jump on the podcast to talk about just how drastically customer support has changed over the last few years. We still exclusively do customer support over email. Incoming email from real customers who need a hand with something where they type out that email in plain languages themselves are few and far between. Instead we get an onslaught of noise from users that don’t exist about Pens and situations that don’t exist. The influ
