Show me the code!
This section contains tutorials that just did not seem to fit it any other category!
The video game “Quake” turns 25 on Tuesday 22nd June 2021. While this might get some fans of “boomer shooters” excited, everybody else might not realise the significance.
Students can now create a fully functional Moodle server from a template in XOA. By doing this they can gain valuable experience in setting up an Online Learning Platform. Moodle is offered as a cloud application by many providers and used by schools and colleges across the world, so this tutorial is worth a read!
GitLab Runner is the open source project that is used to run your jobs and send the results back to GitLab. It is used in conjunction with GitLab CI, the open-source continuous integration service included with GitLab that coordinates the jobs.
Git is a source code versioning system that lets you locally track changes and push or pull changes from remote resources. GitLab, GitHub, and Bitbucket are just some of the services that provides remote access to Git repositories. In addition to hosting your code, the services provide additional features designed to help manage the software development lifecycle. These additional features include managing the sharing of code between different people, bug tracking, wiki space and other tools for ‘social coding’.
If Git prompts you for a username and password every time you try to interact with GitHub or a GitLab server, you’re probably using the HTTPS clone URL for your repository.
Using an HTTPS remote URL has some advantages: it’s easier to set up than SSH, and usually works through strict firewalls and proxies (like here in DkIT). However, it also prompts you to enter your credentials every time you pull or push a repository!
This tutorial documents the steps to get Samba 4 working as a Active Directory Domain Controller using Ubuntu 16.04.
VeraCrypt is a free open source disk encryption software for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux based on (the now defunct) TrueCrypt 7.1a. Features include:
For those of you who are unaware of GIMP, here is how the software describes itself:
GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed piece of software for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. It works on many operating systems, in many languages.
The basic building block in all computers is the binary number system.
This system is chosen since it consists of 1s and 0s only. Since computers contain millions and millions of tiny ‘switches’, which must be in the ON or OFF position, this lends itself logically to the binary system. A switch in the ON position can be represented by 1; a switch in the OFF position can be represented by 0.
Written in C++ (rather than Java like Minecraft itself) Cuberite is a Free and Open Source (FOSS) Minecraft-compatible Game Server. It is designed with performance, configurability, and extensibility in mind, and also aims to accurately recreate most vanilla features.
