You deployed a perfect firewall and other network security policies preventing unauthorized access to the user's desktop computer over a network. However, you still need to block USB device access. We can configure a Linux desktop security policy to protect your computer against rogue USB devices (a.k.a. BadUSB) by implementing essential allow and blocklisting capabilities based on device attributes. For instance, I can define what kind of USB devices are authorized and how a USB device interacts with the Linux system. For example, I can define policy allowing Yubikey with serial number "XYZ" and USB LTE modem with serial # "ABC." Every other USB device access is denied by default. This guide will cover the following topics:

This guide explains how to set up MariaDB high-availability cluster for the database using the Galera library, which provides a virtual mater-to-master three-node cluster running on Debian or Ubuntu Linux.
Software and hardware requirements
- Minimum three VMs running at cloud providers or bare metal servers in same zone or data center. Always keep an ODD number of servers (at least 3) when all the servers are in the same zone or data center. Please note that the MariaDB Galera cluster can exist between two or more zones/data centers. Galera Cluster requires server hardware for a minimum of three nodes. If your cluster runs on a single switch, use three nodes. If your cluster spans switches, use three switches. If your cluster spans networks, use three networks. If your cluster spans data centers, use three data centers. This ensures that the cluster can maintain a Primary Component in the event of network outages.
- Ubuntu 20.04 or Debian 10/11 Linux LTS release. The instructions will not work on other operating systems such as FreeBSD or other Linux distros such as RHEL/SUSE due to different tools (e.g., firewall). However, one...

This guide explains how to set up Redis sentinel failover cluster for caching database or any other data type in high availability node.Software and hardware requirements
Minimum three VMs running at cloud providers or bare metal servers. Always keep an ODD number of servers.- Ubuntu 20.04 or Debian 10 Linux LTS.
- Redis server with sentinel on each VM.
- HAProxy for load balancing and traffic redirection to healthy Redis node for writing or reading data.
- Keepalived for IP failover for HAProxys.
- The Redis cluster will be protected using firewall, password, and VLAN or VPC.
- Email-based alert for HAproxy and Keepalived cluster.
- Simple web-based stats for Redis.

Debian 11 is an excellent server OS to run the LAMP stack. PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language especially suited for web development. However, Debian 11 comes with nixcbz[failed to get contents] - contact @ [email protected] with the url. Here is how to install PHP 8.2 with Apache server on Debian 11 using the CLI or over ssh based session.Below is a sneak peek of this content!
You can install LXD pure-container hypervisor on Debian 11 Linux to run an unmodified version of Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, Alpine, Arch and many other Linux distro. You can mimic AWS or different cloud instance types with LXD for testing and deployment purposes on your development machine. You can also run a GUI app such as Firefox completely isolated using LXD for security or privacy reasons. Let us see how to set up and use LXD on the Debian Linux 11 server or desktop.
