Three encryption tools for the cloud
Safeguard your cloud storage with some preemptive file encryption. Here are three open source tools that get the job done in Linux.
Close to Your Heart
Build your own pulsemeter
A pulsemeter built with a Raspberry Pi, a digital-to-analog converter, and an optical sensor monitors your heart rate just as well as many far more expensive medical devices.
Monitor Your Network with Zabbix
The Eye of Sauron
Use Zabbix to keep tabs on all your machines across the network.
An Open Source Audio Editor and Recorder
Audacity
If you are looking for an audio editing and creation tool, Audacity lets you create and edit professional audio files at no cost, all while using your existing hardware.
Multimeter
Real-time performance monitoring with Netdata
What cannot be measured cannot be improved. Netdata lets you measure almost anything – at least as long as it's about the performance and health of a Linux computer.
Using Sudo Options to Enhance Security
Sudo Security Voodoo
By taking the time to learn sudo's many options, you can make your system more secure with a little creativity.
Paint by Numbers
Design your own boot menu with Grub Customizer
Is the simple black and white GRUB menu causing confusion and obscuring important choices? Why not customize with GRUB themes and the Grub Customizer?
Tutorials – Natron
Track Record
Natron allows you to create eye-catching effects and combine different video clips in surprising ways, letting you build up your clips like a pro.
Simplifying SSH
EasySSH lives up to its name and starts SSH connections at the click of a mouse.
