I recently removed all advertising from OSNews, and one of the reasons to do so is that online ads have become a serious avenue for malware and other security problems. Advertising on the web has become such a massive security risk that even the very birthplace of the world...
As if Francesco P. Lovergine heard my prayers, he wrote an article detailing his experiences with using Guix. Considering he’s a longtime Debian developer, we’re looking at someone who knows a thing or two about Linux. In the last few months, I have installed and upgraded...

For an operating system that was once incredibly popular and expected to become a standard for a long time to come, it’s remarkable how little experience most people have with CP/M. In fact, many conventions and historical limitations you might be aware of – like the 8.3 file...
My goal with this article is to share my perspectives on the web, as well as introduce many aspects of modern HTML/CSS you may not be familiar with. I’m not trying to make you give up JavaScript, I’m just trying to show you everything that’s possible, leaving it up to...
