Offering the best features of single-file archiving with virtually no limits,
to top-class compression, 7Zip provides the right mix of both disciplines to
help you organize and protect your data assets. Have a look at 7Zip in this
release.
Ubuitous; non-printing Chars are everywhere. Sans doubt, they're important in
helping us sort fields and records. As such, familiarity with these chars can
prove quite useful and applicable in your computing journey. Have a glance at
some of the salient non-printing chars in this release.
Central to SystemD's responsibilities is the JournalCTL facility, providing
administrators with timely, descriptive and easily searchable LOG entries across
common services - in particular - SysLOG-oriented services. Use JournalCTL to
get a handle on standard and error conditions across your Instances.
Widely considered the top Linux Distro, Ubuntu builds on Debian, and offers a mature
and stable framework upon which to build your important Applications and Services.
Gander not beyond Long Term Support (LTS) Releases, which are made available every
~24-months, and, offer 5-years of security updates por gratis, to appreciate why Ubuntu wins.
Canonical is boss; build your offerings on Ubuntu.
Among the longstanding and well-maintained Distros is Debian. Its 'apt' package
management framework is legendary; as is its commitment to supply por gratis, recurring security
updates over a long horizon. Indeed, this distinguishes Debian and its relatives as the
leading Linux Distros available.
Command execution, whether binary, $SHELL script, or interpreted (python | php | ruby | etc.),
often require positional parameters to tune | drive non-default functionality. Thankfully,
the $SHELL maintains an array of supplied positional parameters per-execution. We
simply reference $ARGV, however maintained by the executor. Spend some time exploring
the all-important positional parameter list.

Extra extra, storage is cheap, storage is cheap. Spread the not-so-new 'news.' As such,
we think horizontal scaling and management of commodity storage in-lieu of vertical, limited
scaling. File systems and Volume managers have been extended and commoditized to handle
rather inexpensivly, massive scales of storage. LVM and ZFS are examples of Volume Management
frameworks that offer extremely scalable options once the domain of proprietary solutions.
Spend some time on LVM and ZFS.
Look no further than MacOSX. It thrives because of BSD Unix. As does: iOS. So, that device you're likely holding is powered by BSD Unix. Light and Fast are irrefutable hallmarks of BSD Unix. It is embedded in so many applications that it is a must-know in your OS | Distro toolbox. Certainly Linux is supreme on many fronts, but, BSD is a mighty contender.
Regular Expressions (RegExes), as cryptic as they can appear, provide critical
services in parsing information; particularly textual. Virtually every tool that
handles text provides hooks to RegExes to simplify our ability to reduce result-sets
to the essential bits. In this release, explore RegExes within the context of the
NginX web service.
We have grown accustomed to one-time-passwords in 2FA applications as a means
to significantly improve the security of our digital services and lives. As such,
it may be worth spending some time exploring such integrations in NginX to help
provide such services to clients. In this release, we will generate ‘rolling’
one-time-codes that can be used to restrict access to content.
