The terminal is like a virtual second home for many Linux users since they spend most of their working time typing commands in it. It's important to personalize the terminal to your heart's desire if you don't want to bore yourself with the dull, black command-line screen.

There's a big data table with lots of fields and lots of records. Each record has one or more unique identifier field entries. How to check for records that are exactly the same, apart from those unique identifiers? I've been tinkering with this problem for years, and I described a fairly clumsy method in a 2020 blog post. Here I present a much-improved command-line solution.

Security is becoming an increasingly key piece of the open source puzzle amid industry-wide pushes to shift left and integrate security during early stages of application development. The Linux Foundation’s Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) is one example of how the open source community is working to improve software security through an ecosystem approach, vying for proactive handling of security by default.

NVIDIA released today the NVIDIA 495.44 proprietary graphics driver for GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris systems with various new features and improvements.

There are several service mesh products and projects today, promising simplified connectivity between application microservices, while at the same time offering additional capabilities like secured connections, observability, and traffic management. But as we’ve seen repeatedly over the last few years, the excitement about service mesh has been tempered by practical concerns about additional complexity and overhead. Let’s explore how eBPF allows us to streamline the service mesh, making the service mesh data plane more efficient and easier to deploy.

The blog "Anticipating Your Memory Needs" discussed the memoptimizer daemon which monitors the rate of consumption and reclamation of memory pages of different orders on a system. Using this information, memoptimizer builds a mathematical model of memory usage trend on the system and uses this model to anticipate potential upcoming memory shortage. This allows it to take actions ahead of time to force reclamation/compaction of memory pages before memory shortage happens.

Maintaining a non-trivial set of GStreamer patches can be tricky. Thanks to the recent move to a single, unified git repo, you can now easily run a GStreamer continuous integration pipeline on your own GitLab instance. Here's how.

Serverless functions are driving the fast adoption of DevOps development and deployment practices today. Knative on Kubernetes is one of the most popular serverless platforms to adopt serverless function architectures successfully. But developers must understand how serverless capabilities are specified using a combination of Kubernetes APIs, Knative resources, and function-oriented programming.

Sysadmins use audits to discover security violations and track security-relevant information on their systems. Based on preconfigured rules and properties, the audit daemon (auditd) generates log entries to record information about the events happening on the system. Administrators use this information to analyze what went wrong with the security policies and improve them further by taking additional measures.
