Linux school club rebuilds old computers to help those in need to learn remotely
A very interesting experience of the Penguin Corps in Minnesota, USA. Quoting an introduction from the author: “ It was March 17, 2020, and I was in my class at Aspen Academy. The clock was ticking. It was supposed to be the last day of school before we, like all other public schools in Minnesota, close due to the outbreak of the new coronavirus. I had students in my room during lunchtime, counseling periods and my extracurricular activities doing the same thing - installing Linux on old computers so we could give them to students who would use them at home ... I was just going to help the children before completion of the work, but in the end we had 17 computers ready. It was the beginning . "

Garlic and onion hosting: how to raise a web resource so that the domain is not taken away
An article was published on Habré about an alternative way to host your web resource: “ Global DNS is a wonderful thing that has survived for more than a decade. But it has a fundamental problem - your domain can simply be split if they suddenly decide that you have violated something. Or someone with money and connections will have a grudge against you. Everyone remembers the history of the same torrents.ru. If for some reason you want to remove such risks, you can look towards overlay networks that simply do not have a regulator capable of dividing a domain name. Therefore, we will raise onion and i2p web resources . "

Linux Gaming: Blood, Sweat, and the Command Line. Part 1
Linux gaming has been a topic of ongoing debate for a long time. And although the situation has improved significantly in recent years (thanks in large part to Steam from Valve), nevertheless, many questions remain. The first part of the article about the current state of affairs was published on DTF, it is devoted to " history and theory (well, a little personal opinion and experience) ", but the second part is expected to be more practical, " with different techniques and conclusions ."
