The 6.12-rc3 kernel prepatch is out for testing.

After trialing SearXNG for a while, I decided to host my own SearXNG instance. In case you are not familiar with SearXNG, it’s a metasearch engine that pulls search results from multiple sources, such as Google, Qwant, Brave Search, DuckDuckGo, etc. It does that while scrubbing off tracking, profiling, and other surveillance capitalism cruft.

At Kangrejos, Gary Guo wanted to discuss three problems with the way Rust and C code in the kernel interact: mismatched types, too many type casts, and the overhead of helper functions. To fix the first two problems, Guo proposed changing the way the kernel maps C types into Rust types. The last problem was a bit trickier, but he has a clever workaround for that, based on tricking the compiler into inlining the helper functions across language boundaries.

A package manager is software that allows a user to install new software, upgrade the system, or update specific software, among other tasks. On Linux-based systems, where software often has many dependencies that must be present on the system for complete installation, tools like package managers become essential on every system.

Each Linux distribution ships with its default package manager for the above-mentioned functionalities, but the most commonly found ones are: Yum on RHEL and Fedora systems (where it is being replaced by DNF from Fedora 22+ onwards) and Apt on Debian-based systems.

Apache is one of the most widely used web servers in the world, offering a robust and flexible platform for hosting websites.

When managing a website, you might need to control who can access certain resources or entire websites. For example, you may want to block specific IP addresses or allow access only from certain regions or networks. Apache makes this possible using a feature called Access Control.

In this guide, we’ll walk through the steps to allow or deny access to websites in Apache using a simple, human-readable configuration.
