Coccinelle for Rust progress report

Sat, 06/28/2025 - 08:53

Coccinelle is a tool for automatic program matching and transformation that was originally developed for making large-scale changes to the Linux kernel source code (i.e., C code). Matches and transformations are driven by user-specific transformation rules in the form of abstracted patches, referred to as semantic patches. As the Linux kernel—and systems software more generally—is starting to adopt Rust, Coccinelle for Rust aims to make the power of Coccinelle available to Rust codebases.

Mastering Linux in 7 Days: A Complete Crash Course for Beginners

Fri, 06/27/2025 - 09:45

Linux is a free and open-source operating system created in the early 1990s by the legendary Linus Torvalds. He developed the core component of the system, known as the kernel. Combined with the power of GNU software, we now have a complete operating system often referred to as GNU/Linux.

Today, Linux is everywhere – from servers and smartphones to the cloud and IoT devices. It’s trusted for its stability, flexibility, and performance, making it the backbone of modern tech infrastructure.

Learning Linux can be challenging. It requires time and dedication to truly understand how it works and how all its components fit together and function harmoniously.

5 Bash Scripts I Use Daily as a Linux SysAdmin

Fri, 06/27/2025 - 09:40

If you’ve spent any time managing Linux systems, you already know how repetitive and time-consuming some tasks can be. Whether it’s checking disk space, restarting failed services, or keeping your system updated, doing everything manually quickly becomes a headache, especially if you’re handling more than one server.

Bash scripts are like tiny assistants that help you automate common tasks, reduce human error, and save valuable time. Instead of running the same commands over and over again, you can let your scripts handle it – reliably and consistently.

Over the years, many system administrators have created and refined scripts to monitor systems, automate maintenance, and respond to issues before they become serious problems.
