Choosing the right web server can make or break your website’s performance. With so many options available Apache, NGINX, LiteSpeed, OpenLiteSpeed, Caddy, and Lighttpd how do you know which one is the fastest, most efficient, and best suited for your needs?
To find out, we conducted a comprehensive benchmark, testing these six popular web servers under different conditions, including static file handling, high concurrency, large file downloads, and sustained traffic simulations. Our goal? To identify the best-performing server in terms of speed, resource usage, and reliability.

LINUX TUTORIALS FOR BEGINNERS
Introduction to Linux Distributions
Choosing a Linux distribution can be one of the most difficult things for a Linux user. There are so many excellent options, and they all have their own unique strong suits.
In this tutorial, we will consider a number of questions that you can ask yourself when choosing a Linux distribution that fits around that sweet spot of what you want and need.

Some of the Linux distributions we consider are Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, Linux Mint, Arch Linux, Manjaro and more.
Tor is free software that allows a user to have complete anonymity online. It can be used to avoid having websites and applications track your location or attempt to identify you. It does this by routing your network data through a pool of servers around the world, while also stripping identifying information from packet headers.

However, I don't always have the latest updated version of the installation ISOs, and I'm unable to create a copy of a bare-metal installation in the same way. And after wearing out one too many USB drives through repeated reflashing of different operating systems, it's time for a better way for my home lab.
The solution is rather elegant, involving the setup of a Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) server that stores the ISO files, allowing my client devices to boot from them over the network. I've been playing around with three different variations on how this can be handled, and I'm keeping two of them, because having easy access to bootable media is invaluable.

The self-hosting ecosystem is rife with cool and quirky apps designed to automate every facet of your life. There’s the holy Terraform and Ansible combo for home lab enthusiasts who love watching VMs come to life without pressing a single button, while n8n can handle all software-based automations. On the smart home side, you’ll often find Home Assistant as the most recommended utility for creating schematics to control your IoT gadgets. And well, HASS can serve you well with its trigger-action workflows.

I could easily see myself defaulting to Securonis when I need serious security.

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.
In this article, you’ll discover five simple but powerful Bash scripts that are useful in everyday Linux system administration. These scripts are beginner-friendly and easy to modify for your own environment.

FreeCAD is, you guessed it, free. That's not the best thing about it, though. With a range of parametric 2D and 3D tools, FreeCAD makes it easy to generate results quickly and efficiently. The software is only let down by its basic interface that is far from intuitive, especially for beginners. Having said that, if you only need a CAD application now and then and don't need any advanced features, then FreeCAD is the best solution by far.

These Pi-hole tweaks are worth the effort.

Stramme tidsplaner, moderne materialer og manglende hensyn til vejret kan føre til dyre fejl under byggeriet, fortæller eksperter.
