What it does
Passionate about software development and architecture, web and cloud technologies, as well as game development. When deploying a new Linux server, I always perform the same steps to introduce a basic level of security. In this article, I present those steps I take (and you probably should take them too) on a new server installation. Even though those steps probably apply to most Linux distributions, I mainly use Ubuntu for my servers nowadays. So before listing the specific steps, I quickly explain why I mostly use a minimal Ubuntu image. Ubuntu has rapidly become one of the most popular choices for server environments. This preference stems from Ubuntu's stability, ease of use, and robust…from blog.lohr.dev

- LSLinux sysadmin course, eight years on2020 · ▲780
Almost eight years ago I launched an online “Linux sysadmin course for newbies” here at HN. It was a side-project that went well, but never generated enough money to allow me to fully commit to leaving the Day Job. After surviving the Big C, and getting made redundant I thought I might improve and relaunch it commercially – but my doctors are a pessimistic bunch, so it looked like I didn’t have the time. Instead, I rejigged/relaunched it via a Reddit forum this February as free and open - and have now gathered a team of helpers to ensure that it keeps going each month even after I can’t…

Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
