Ranger is an incredibly handy terminal-based file navigator that's written in Python and is available for Linux and Mac. Ranger allows you to navigate your filesystem using the arrow keys on your keyboard: Up/Down to select files in the current directory (middle pane), and Left/Right to hop back and forth through levels and into directories. When you're focused on a directory, it shows you the contents in the right-hand panel.

MySQL is a free, open-source and one of the most popular database systems around the globe. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MySQL 8 on CentOS 8 server.

Testing often begins with what we hope happens. In my previous article, I demonstrated how to virtualize a service you depend on when processing the "happy path" scenario (that is, testing the outcome of a successful login attempt). But we all know that software fails in spectacular and unexpected ways. Now's the time to take a closer look into how to process the "less happy paths": what happens when someone tries to log in with the wrong credentials?

Glance is an image service that allows you to discover, provide, register, or even delete disk and/or server images. It is a fundamental part of managing images on OpenStack and TripleO (which stands for "OpenStack-On-OpenStack").

Adafruit’s DIN Rail Mount Bracket for the Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, and Arduino costs $20, or $37 with a terminal block breakout adapter and cable. We also look at RPi DIN rail housings from DINrPlate, Phoenix Contact, and Zihatec.

Some time ago, I decided to move my computing environment from a Mac Mini PowerPC to a Raspberry Pi Model 2. This article describes my reasons for doing so and how I did it. While it is quite technical in places, if you're considering switching from an existing system to something decidedly lean and mean, there are things that you need to know before making that leap. There are lots of links to click as well, which will lead you to the software and apps that I mention.

In my earlier article, I explained how I transformed a Raspberry Pi Zero into a minimal, portable, go-anywhere computer system that, although small, can actually achieve useful things. I've since made iterations that have proved interesting and made the little Pi even more useful. Read on to learn what I've done.

In a previous article, we deployed a couple of simple websites on our k3s cluster. There were non-encrypted sites. Now that's fine, and they work, but non-encrypted is very last century! These days most websites are encrypted. In this article, we are going to install cert-manager and use it to deploy TLS encrypted sites on our cluster. How to encrypt your website with k3s and Letsencrypt on a Raspberry Pi.

Two-factor authentication, or multi-factor authentication, is not a topic only for nerds anymore. Many services on the internet provide it, and many end-users demand it. While the average end-user might only realize that his preferred web site either offers MFA or it does not, there is more to it behind the scene. The two-factor market is changing, and changing rapidly. New authentication methods arise, classical vendors are merging, and products have disappeared.
