> If you have an old Android phone or tablet lying around, one of the most interesting and fun things you can do is run Linux on it. Linux is one of the most versatile operating systems around, and it doesn’t take a lot of effort to run it on an Android device. You can pick from a bunch of Linux distros to use on your phone. Today, we show you how to run Ubuntu on your Android device.
> I got a refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 and I’m not really happy with how the fan is managed by OpenBSD. Plus, the ThinkPad A485 running Windows for $WORK has been freezing quite a few times recently. So I decided I could try using a single ThinkPad for both $WORK and $HOME using different Operating Systems. I recently loved Slackware Linux again and wished I could use it too on that machine.
> I recently wrote about how systemd's auto-restart of units can hide problems, where we discovered this was hiding failures of the Prometheus host agent itself. This raises the question of how and if we can monitor for this sort of thing happening with our Prometheus setup. The answer turns out to be more or less yes.
> The sudo command allows users to run commands with root privileges. This can be a powerful tool, but it can also be a security risk if not used carefully. One way to mitigate this risk is to allow sudo users to run particular authorized commands. In this guide, we will show you how to restrict sudo users to run specific commands with sudo privileges in Linux. We will also show you how to revert sudoers file back to the original configuration.
