One of my first exposures to computers in a work environment was using a Wyse
terminal to access a console-based application for data entry. It wasn't until a
while later that I learned about terminals in UNIX and how they work. Once I
understood it, I wanted to create my own self-contained application that was tied
to a telnet or SSH session.
Many proprietary high-availability (HA) software providers require users to pay
extra for system-management capabilities. Bucking this convention and driving down
costs is LINBIT, whose DRBD HA software solution, part of the Linux kernel since
2009, powers thousands of digital enterprises.
In my last few articles, I've been exploring the capabilities of ImageMagick,
showing that just because you're working on a command line
doesn't mean you're stuck processing only text.
SUSE and SAP have been collaborating for 18 years now. SAP is ubiquitous in the
enterprise environment, and SUSE is now powering its robust SAP Cloud Platform.
Once again, my friend and fellow Linux Journal club member Kris Occhipinti
introduced me to an awesome bit of software. This time, it's an open-source project that brings Linux-like package management to Windows! Don't
get me wrong; installing software on Windows isn't difficult,
but it's definitely more cumbersome than with Linux.
With software-free setup and operation, the new iStorage diskAshur group of
ultra-secure storage drives works across all operating systems, including Linux,
macOS, Android, Chrome, thin and zero clients, MS Windows and embedded systems.
I learned about Subutai from Philip Sheldrake of the Digital Life
Collective (and much else) and thought it deserved attention here at
Linux Journal, so I offered this space for that. Alex Karasulu did most
of the writing, but it was a team effort with help from Jon 'maddog' Hall, Philip
Sheldrake
and Steve Taylor.—Doc Searls
WebAssembly browser technology is important for making the browser go
beyond what JavaScript can do. StarNet Communications Corp says it is the
first to plant a WebAssembly flag in the EDA space by integrating
WebAssembly technology into its FastX remote Linux display solution.
