Even though the technology related news media isn't about inhibiting thinking or controlling the masses, like the regular news media, the technology media is mostly using the same tactics by creating sensational and story-formattet junk. You can spot a bad technology media (or any news media) by the low level of investigative journalism and the high level of sensationalism it contains. https://unixdigest.com/articles/do-you-feel-overwhelmed-trying-to-stay-up-to-date-with-the-latest-tech-news.htm
This is a small introduction to a really great article about how toxic it is to follow the daily news and what to do instead. https://unixdigest.com/articles/why-you-should-avoid-the-news-media-and-what-to-do-instead.html
So, I saw the Hacker News post about h-m-m (hackers mind map) and thought, "We could do something similar with just the terminal and tree". https://unixdigest.com/tutorials/poor-mans-mind-mapping-tool-with-just-the-terminal.html
In this tutorial I am going to use Void Linux to "replicate" how FreeBSD is utilizing ZFS snapshots for boot environments. I am going to use a MBR based setup with a native ZFS encrypted root mirror. With a ZFS root mirror we not only get the benefits of ZFS snapshots, but we also get the benefits of ZFS' ability to auto repair any corrupted data (from things like bit rot). And in case one of the hard drives fail, we can quickly replace the broken disk with a new disk and have everything up and
Hard drives fail in all kinds of strange ways, when they do, you really appreciate all the hard work the programmers and engineers has put into ZFS because it is truly amazing! https://unixdigest.com/tutorials/drive-failure-and-io-errors-zfs-to-the-rescue.html
In this tutorial I am going to show you how to replace a broken hard drive in a FreeBSD GELI encryptet ZFS mirror root installation. I'll assume that you have installed FreeBSD using the FreeBSD installer and used encryption on a guided (auto) ZFS installation. The installer partitions the two hard drives in an identical partition scheme, in which one of the partitions is fully encryptet using GELI. This is a great setup, but it requires a little knowledge of the internals to replace one of the
The POSIX standard requires that operating systems maintain filesystem metadata that record when each file was last accessed. Let's take a look at what all that means. https://unixdigest.com/articles/understanding-unix-filesystem-timestamps.html
I have multiple times criticized tech on political grounds, but is that a valid reason for criticism or does that simply constitute ranting? https://unixdigest.com/articles/is-criticizing-tech-on-political-grounds-valid.html
Even though being a ports or package maintainer is voluntary, it carries a heavy responsibility. https://unixdigest.com/articles/the-heavy-responsibility-of-the-package-maintainer.html
Some people who use open source software think or feel that they somehow have a right upon the developers of such software to provide support or service of some kind. Some are even so deluded that they think threating the developers with promises of not using the software will somehow force the developers into compliance. https://unixdigest.com/articles/when-you-use-open-source-software-you-are-not-entitled-to-anything.html
