LHB Linux Digest #25.01: Free Linux Course, ListMonk, File Descriptors and More

This is the first newsletter of the year 2025. I hope expanding your Linux knowledge is one of your New Year's resolution, too. I am looking to learn and use Ansible in homelab setup. What's yours?

The focus of Linux Handbook in 2025 will be on self-hosting. You'll see more tutorials and articles on open source software you can self host on your cloud server or your home lab.

Of course, we'll continue to create new content on Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible and other DevOps tools.

Here are the other highlights of this edition of LHB Linux Digest:

• Extraterm terminal
• File descriptors
• Self hosting mailing list manager
• And more tools, tips and memes for you
• This edition of LHB Linux Digest newsletter is supported by PikaPods.
