A big percentage of so-called experts today only know how to configure tools, but they understand nothing about how things work at the deeper level. This is a real challenge and a big problem for the future. https://unixdigest.com/articles/we-have-used-too-many-levels-of-abstractions-and-now-the-future-looks-bleak.html
People who consider trying out one of the different BSD variants, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD or DragonFly BSD, often ask about the main differences between the four projects. In this article I am going to address that issue. https://unixdigest.com/articles/the-main-differences-between-openbsd-freebsd-netbsd-and-dragonflybsd.html
A lot of people running ZFS zroot have managed to break their FreeBSD systems upgrading from 13.2 to the new 14.0 release because of a broken BIOS bootcode. In this tutorial I'll show you how you can fix that without having to reinstall. https://unixdigest.com/tutorials/upgrading-to-freebsd-14-how-to-fix-a-broken-bios-bootcode.html
As of late, Passkeys are promoted as the killer of passwords and a lot of companies are now manically transitioning from passwords to Passkeys. I don't think that is a good idea. https://unixdigest.com/articles/are-passkeys-really-the-beginning-of-the-end-of-passwords-i-certainly-hope-not.html
In this article I share the results of a lab test in which I tested writing data to the filesystem directly with PHP fopen versus storing data in SQLite, PostgreSQL and MariaDB on different filesystems, mainly FFS2 on OpenBSD, UFS on FreeBSD, ext4 and XFS on Linux and ZFS on both Linux and FreeBSD, while unplugging power to hard drives and to the machines mid-writing. https://unixdigest.com/articles/battle-testing-php-fopen-sqlite-postgresql-and-mariadb-on-ffs-ufs-ext-xfs-and-zfs.html

Today web developers are told that in order to do so-called modern web development they need to use JavaScript frameworks because they are an essential part of modern front-end web development. What a load of rubbish! https://unixsheikh.com/articles/the-proper-design-process-in-web-development.html
