This page describes how to check the Linux / Unix configuration file for syntax errors, which helps you to troubleshoot errors. For example, you might change a configuration file and introduce a syntax error. As a result, when you restart the service (such as Nginx, Apache, SSHD and more), it shows an error and fails to restart, which results in downtime. https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/check-unix-linux-configuration-file-for-syntax-errors.html #linux #unix #macos #debian #sysadmin #linuxmint

{Updated} Here is how to install a dnscrypt proxy with adblocker on #Linux to block internet tracking, advertisements (Ads) and malware at DNS level https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-install-dnscrypt-proxy-with-adblocker-on-linux/

Reddit blackout protest is just like those online petitions. Both are unpredictable about the final results. What are you going to do when you miss r/funny. Use Lemmy? The truth is Reddit admins know there is no alternative. Reddit was ready when Digg 4 happened. I want Reddit to act friendly, but it isn't easy when you take investors' money. They want a return on their investments. It is better to stop using a centralized cloud for everything from SO to Reddit. Let us build independent forums

If you require a random password or passphrase for your CLI or scripting needs, consider using mkpasswd, makepasswd, or pwgen. Depending on your operating system, you may need to install these tools using apt, dnf/yum, brew, pkg, or apk commands on your #Linux, #macOS, or #FreeBSD machines. See https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/generating-random-password/ for more info. #debian #linuxmint #unix #foss #opensource

I don’t know about y’all, but I don’t have any more passwords left in me.

You can set a time limit for commands on Linux. For instance, you can run the ping/top command for a maximum of 90 seconds.

timeout 90s ping www.cyberciti.biz

timeout 90s htop

Works with ssh too:

timeout 60s ssh user@Box1 -- top

See https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-run-a-command-with-a-time-limit/ for more info.

The worst part of coding is when you finally fix the problem, but then you need go back and delete all the random garbage code you

added in to try to fix the problem. 😏 #devlife #programming #devops
