> Today we are looking at how to install Ripcord on a Chromebook. Please follow the video/audio guide as a tutorial where we explain the process step by step and use the commands below.
> Docker Swarm is a container orchestration tool that runs on the Docker platform. It helps users to create and manage a cluster of Docker nodes. Clustering in Docker is a crucial concept in providing redundancy by enabling Docker Swarm to fail over should one or more nodes in the cluster fail.
> Docker Swarm uses the standard Docker API to communicate with other tools such as Docker Engine. It intelligently assigns containers to worker nodes and ensures resource optimization by scheduling container workloads to run on the most suitable node(s)
> I'm not a consumer of proprietary social networks, but sometimes I have to access content hosted there, and in that case I prefer to use a front-end reimplementation of the service.
> These front-ends are network services that acts as a proxy to the proprietary service, and offer a different interface (usually cleaner) and also remove tracking / ads.
> In your web browser, you can use the extension Privacy Redirect to automatically be redirected to such front-ends. But even better, you can host them locally instead of using public instances that may be unresponsive, on NixOS it's super easy.
> I have a grand project in my mind, and I need to think about it before starting any implementation. The blog is a right place for me to explain what I want to do and the different solutions.
> It's related to NixOS. I would like to ease the management of a fleet of NixOS workstations that could be anywhere.
> This could be useful for companies using NixOS for their employees, to manage all the workstations remotely, but also for people who may manage NixOS systems in various places (cloud, datacenter, house, family computers).
> In this central management, it makes sense to not have your users with root access, they would have to call their technical support to ask for a change, and their system could be updated quickly to reflect the request. This can be super useful for remote family computers when they need an extra program not currently installed, and that you took the responsibility of handling your system...
> If you are using Arch Linux due to a specific package being only available in that distribution, then it’s time for you to move on with that package.
> What am I talking about? You might be thinking about what I’ve just said. Look, you and I both know that Arch or its derivatives like Manjaro and Endeavour, are community-driven and have the largest software repository.
> It’s been a long time since I’ve used Arch or any of its derivates, but as I recall, I remember there were many packages that were not available for other distributions and vice-versa. However, if you are using an Arch-based system just because your favourite package is not available for another distribution like Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, Fedora, etc, then it’s time for you to move your package to those distributions using Arch2appimage.
