Unix Tutorial News

Nothing particularly new, but I found my blogging stride and enjoyed a very productive month. Lots of Ansible automation progress and a rework of my home office Raspberry Pi setup were my main focus.

Unix Tutorial in Russian is now a completely separate website, I’m going to find more time to add translations to it – it’s been growing nicely.

Unix Tutorial Digest: monthly digest of Unix/Linux topics

November 2019 has been rather slow here on the blog – lots of projects at work ahead of the usual change freezes and upcoming holiday season. I’m regularly bookmarking things that can become interesting projects, so expect it to be a very educational Christmas season – lots of things to learn and to try in Unix Tutorial world.

Unix Tutorial Digest – November 5th, 2019

Unix Tutorial Digest: monthly digest of Unix/Linux topics

September and October 2019 have been so busy for me at work and at home that I posted less frequently than usual and also skipped the September Unix Tutorial Digest. All is good, lots of interesting developments at work and with my home office servers, so I’ve been reading a lot and preparing new material.

I also launched Unix Tutorial RU for Russian speaking readers of my website – so check it out: https://www.unixtutorial.ru.

As always, please get in touch to arrange a technical consultation with me or want to suggest a useful link for the next digest here at Unix Tutorial.

Software News

  • HTTP/3 is becoming a thing! Initial support for it is found in nginx, curl and major browsers now
  • PulseAudio 13.0 released – I still remember how tricky it was to get its early versions to work on my desktop 10 years ago. This package has made great progress since then! Modern codecs like Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio are supported in version 13.
  • VirtualBox 6.1 beta was released – will test VirtualBox on my Dell XPS laptop soon, 6.1 beta 2 is out now. Should be cool to export VMs right into (Oracle) cloud! On macOS I still prefer Parallels.

Software News

  • Firefox 70 is here
  • Chrome 68 is out
  • Perl 6 is officially named Raku
  • Python 3.8 is released
  • OpenSSH 8.1 is released. Yay!
  • PostgreSQL 12 database server is now available
  • Java SE 13 is released

Unix Tutorial Digest: monthly digest of Unix/Linux topics

 Hi again everyone, it’s this time of the month (the last day of a month, if I manage to publish on time).
March 2019 brought lots of interesting releases and Unix/Linux news.

As always, please get in touch to arrange a technical consultation with me or want to suggest a useful link for the next Unix Tutorial digest. I also created a special page for Unix Tutorial digests.

  • Seeking the Productive Life – amazingly insightful and useful article from Stephen Wolfram
  • Apple Still Hasn’t Fixed Its Macbook Keyboard Problem – this is the reason I had a week of downtime and bought a Dell XPS 13 laptop just a few weeks ago. To be fair, new laptop was not necessary – I got my trusty Retina MacBook Pro 15 2017 in 4 working days, with brand new keyboard.
  • Hetzner Cloud CLI – sounds cool, should help with managing dedicated and VPS servers in Hetzner
  • Secrets leaked on GitHub – very interesting report about what gets leaked and how quickly developers fix this and remove secrets from public GitHub repos
