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.

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

KubeTUI: Your Kubernetes Dashboard Right Inside Your Terminal

by: LHB Community Sat, 19 Apr 2025 15:59:35 +0530 As a Kubernetes engineer, I deal with kubectl almost every day. Pod status, service list, CrashLoopBackOff location, YAML configuration comparison, log view...... are almost daily operations! But to be honest, in the process of cutting namespaces, manually copying pod names, and scrolling the log again and again, I gradually felt burned out. That is, until I came across KubeTUI — a little tool that made me feel like “getting back on my feet”. W

“Pretty” is in the eye of the beholder

by: Geoff Graham Fri, 18 Apr 2025 12:12:35 +0000 Hey, did you see the post Jen Simmons published about WebKit’s text-wrap: pretty implementation? It was added to Safari Technology Preview and can be tested now, as in, like, today. Slap this in a stylesheet and your paragraphs get a nice little makeover that improves the ragging, reduces hyphenation, eliminates typographic orphans at the end of the last line, and generally avoids large typographic rivers as a result. The first visual in the post

So, You Want to Give Up CSS Pre- and Post-Processors…

by: Zell Liew Thu, 17 Apr 2025 12:38:05 +0000 There was once upon a time when native CSS lacked many essential features, leaving developers to come up with all sorts of ways to make CSS easier to write over the years. These ways can mostly be categorized into two groups: Pre-processors Post-processors Pre-processors include tools like Sass, Less, and Stylus. Like what the category’s name suggests, these tools let you write CSS in their syntax before compiling your code into va

FOSS Weekly #25.16: Ubuntu 25.04, Fedora 42, ParticleOS and a Lot More Linux Stuff

11 Vibe Coding Tools to 10x Your Development on Linux Desktop

by: Abhishek Kumar Tue, 15 Apr 2025 05:41:55 GMT Once upon a time, coding meant sitting down, writing structured logic, and debugging for hours. Fast-forward to today, and we have Vibe Coding, a trend where people let AI generate entire chunks of code based on simple prompts. No syntax, no debugging, no real understanding of what’s happening under the hood. Just vibes. Coined by OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy, Vibe Coding is the act of developing software by giving natural language inst

Chris’ Corner: Fairly Fresh CSS

by: Chris Coyier Mon, 14 Apr 2025 16:36:55 +0000 I joked while talking with Adam Argyle on ShopTalk the other day that there is more CSS in one of the demos we were looking at that I have in my whole CSS brain. We were looking at his Carousel Gallery which is one of the more impressive sets of CSS demos I’ve ever seen. Don’t let your mind get too stuck on that word “carousel”. I think it’s smart to use that word here, but the CSS technologies being developed here have an incredible number of us

Next Level CSS Styling for Cursors

by: Declan Chidlow Mon, 14 Apr 2025 12:40:46 +0000 The cursor is a staple of the desktop interface but is scarcely touched by websites. This is for good reason. People expect their cursors to stay fairly consistent, and meddling with them can unnecessarily confuse users. Custom cursors also aren’t visible for people using touch interfaces — which excludes the majority of people. Geoff has already covered styling cursors with CSS pretty comprehensively in “Changing the Cursor with CSS for Be

Fixing 'Enter passphrase for key' Issue With SSH

by: Abhishek Prakash Mon, 14 Apr 2025 10:58:44 +0530 Lately, whenever I tried accessing a server via SSH, it asked for a passphrase: Enter passphrase for key '/home/abhishek/.ssh/id_rsa':Interestingly, it was asking for my local system's account password, not the remote server's. Entering the account password for SSH key is a pain. So, I fixed it with this command which basically resets the password: ssh-keygen -pIt then asked for the file which has the key. This is the private ssh key, usually

Birth of Unix

by: John Paul Wohlscheid Sun, 13 Apr 2025 14:34:36 GMT Sometimes it feels like Unix has been around forever, at least to users who have used Linux, or BSD in any form for a decade or more now. Its ideals laid the groundwork for Linux, and it underpins macOS. A modern version (FreeBSD) is used on thousands of servers while Linux rules the server space along with the super computer industry. Even though the original form of it is a history, it remains a significant development to help start

Formatting Text in Logseq

by: Sreenath Fri, 11 Apr 2025 15:09:58 GMT Logseq is a highly efficient note-taking and knowledge management app with decent Markdown support. While using Logseq, one thing to keep in mind is that the text formatting isn't pure Markdown. This is because Logseq uses bullet blocks as the basic unit of content and also supports Org-mode. Whenever you start a new document or press Enter after a sentence, a new block is created — and this block can be referenced from anywhere within Logseq. That

Tailwind’s @apply Feature is Better Than it Sounds

by: Zell Liew Thu, 10 Apr 2025 12:39:43 +0000 By this point, it’s not a secret to most people that I like Tailwind. But, unknown to many people (who often jump to conclusions when you mention Tailwind), I don’t like vanilla Tailwind. In fact, I find most of it horrible and I shall refrain from saying further unkind words about it. But I recognize and see that Tailwind’s methodology has merits — lots of them, in fact — and they go a long way to making your styles more maintainable and pe

Cascading Layouts: A Workshop on Resilient CSS Layouts

by: Geoff Graham Thu, 10 Apr 2025 11:26:00 +0000 If I were starting with CSS today for the very first time, I would first want to spend time understanding writing modes because that’s a great place to wrap your head around direction and document flow. But right after that, and even more excitedly so, I would jump right into display and get a firm grasp on layout strategies. And where would I learn that? There are lots of great resources out there. I mean, I have a full course called The Bas

Chris’ Corner: 10 HTML Hits

by: Chris Coyier Mon, 07 Apr 2025 17:01:01 +0000 Love HTML? Good. It’s very lovable. One of my favorite parts is how you can screw it all up and it still it’s absolute best to render how it thinks you meant. Not a lot of other languages like that. Are there any? English, I suppose lolz. Anyway — I figured I’d just share 10 links about HTML that I’ve save because, well, I personally thought there were interesting and enjoyed learning what they had to teach.

Feeling Like I Have No Release: A Journey Towards Sane Deployments

by: Lee Meyer Mon, 07 Apr 2025 14:41:53 +0000 When I was young and dinosaurs walked the earth, I worked on a software team that developed a web-based product for two years before ever releasing it. I don’t just mean we didn’t make it publicly available; we didn’t deploy it anywhere except for a test machine in the office, accessed by two internal testers, and this required a change to each tester’s hosts file. You don’t have to be an agile evangelist to spot the red flag. There’s “release early
