Cloudflare has become one of the fastest growing DNS and CDN hosters on the Internet delivering some of the best DNS speeds worldwide, but if you value customers or visitors to your website you maybe need reconsider using Cloudflare. https://unixdigest.com/articles/stay-away-from-cloudflare.html
In this article we're going to take a little look at the typical discussions about the differences between popular operating systems such as BSD and Linux. https://unixdigest.com/articles/the-typical-discussions-about-bsd-vs-linux.html
In this tutorial we're gonna take a look at how you can make the current commit in your Git repository the initial and only commit. This is useful if you're using Git as a backup solution and you want to clean out old files. It also works on GitHub. https://unixdigest.com/tutorials/make-the-current-commit-the-initial-commit-in-a-git-repository.html
In this tutorial we're going to setup Arch Linux as a mail server for virtual users using openSMTPD and Dovecot. The setup I am going to use is a simple setup for home usage or office usage without webmail or database management of virtual users (though you can easily add that). Instead the users are managed using a simple flat file and they connect to the server using an email client. The setup is very easy to manage and it is very well suited for home usage, if you want to manage your own emai
This is the second part of the mail server tutorial in which we'll install and setup OpenSMTPD, Dovecot, DKIMproxy, and Let's Encrypt. https://unixdigest.com/tutorials/arch-linux-mail-server-tutorial-part-2-opensmtpd-dovecot-dkimproxy-and-lets-encrypt.html
In this part of the tutorial we're going to take a look at the important parts of setting up DNS in order to run a mail server. https://unixdigest.com/tutorials/arch-linux-mail-server-tutorial-part-3-get-dns-right-it-is-important.html
I have been running OpenBSD, a FREE, multi-platform 4.4BSD-based UNIX-like operating system, both professionally and privately since about 2004, and today I'm going to share some of my thoughts about the system. https://unixdigest.com/articles/openbsd-is-fantastic.html
In this article we're going to take a close look at the real motivation behind the development of systemd, and we're going to take a look at some of the future perspectives for GNU/Linux as an operating system. https://unixdigest.com/articles/the-real-motivation-behind-systemd.html
Void Linux is a great rolling release and independent general purpose Linux distribution that uses the X Binary Package System (XBPS) package manager, which was designed and implemented from scratch. It uses runit as the init system and service supervisor, which is a simple and very effective approach to initialize the system with reliable service supervision contrary to something heavy and bloated like systemd. Void Linux supports both the musl and GNU libc implementations, patching incompatibl
In this tutorial we're going to take a look at setting up full disk encryption on the Void Linux base system using GRUB for a BIOS/MBR based setup. While the choice to install in UEFI mode is encouraging, vendor UEFI implementations still carry more bugs than their BIOS/MBR counterparts. Contrary to "modern" advice I still haven't found any compelling reason to use UEFI yet. https://unixdigest.com/tutorials/real-full-disk-encryption-using-grub-on-void-linux-for-bios.html
