This article walks you through installing Certbot and its nginx plugin, obtaining a free TLS certificate from Let’s Encrypt, testing the new configuration, and ensuring automatic renewal, all in under twenty minutes.
It explains why HTTPS is essential for modern browsers and how an invalid cert can cause mixed content warnings that drive users away.
The steps include updating the system, installing packages, running Certbot with the --nginx flag to let it modify your nginx files, verifying the configuration with nginx -t, reloading the service, and testing the HTTPS endpoint with curl or a browser.
Finally, it covers setting up an automatic renewal job and optionally forcing HTTP traffic to redirect to HTTPS, giving you a clean “Secure” badge in the address bar.
The guide shows how to add LibreWolf’s official APT repository for the Debian 12 “bookworm” suite to LMDE 5, import its GPG signing key, and then install the browser with a single sudo apt install librewolf command after updating the package list. It explains why each step matters: pointing to a compatible binary source, verifying package integrity with the public key, and ensuring apt can see the latest version. Optional post‑install tweaks include setting LibreWolf as the default web browser via xdg-settings and enabling automatic updates through LMDE’s existing unattended‑upgrades mechanism. Finally, it notes that the native .deb install is slimmer and better integrated than a flatpak alternative, and offers a quick fix (sudo apt -f install) for any missing‑library issues.
The passage walks you through installing the Siege load‑testing tool on a fresh Debian 11 (Bullseye) system, optionally adding the backports repository to obtain a newer version that supports modern TLS. It shows how to update APT, install Siege either from the stable repo or with -t bullseye-backports, and verify the installation with siege --version. Then it demonstrates creating a simple URL list, running a quick test (siege -c1 -t10S -f urls.txt), and interpreting the output to confirm connectivity. Finally, it offers practical advice on tuning concurrency with the -c flag and cleaning up the log file when you’re finished.
This tutorial shows how to enable full VMware integration in a Linux Mint Debian Edition 5 guest by installing the open‑source OpenVM Tools packages from the distro’s repositories. After updating the package index, you install the core open-vm-tools package and, for desktop features such as seamless mouse movement, copy/paste, and auto‑resize, add the optional open-vm-tools-desktop helper. You then verify that the vmtoolsd daemon is active, enable it to start on boot, and reboot the VM so the kernel modules load correctly. The guide also warns against using the legacy ISO installer—its kernel‑header mismatches cause broken installations—and provides a quick command (vmtoolsd --cmd "info-get guestinfo.hostname") to confirm that communication between host and guest is working.
The guide explains how to replace the default LMDE 5 kernel with a XanMod build in order to gain lower latency and better hardware support. It walks you through backing up /boot, installing curl and gnupg2, importing XanMod’s GPG key, adding the signed‑by repository entry, updating APT and installing either the standard “linux‑xanmod” or the real‑time variant. After rebooting you select the new “XanMod” entry in GRUB and verify the running version with uname ‑r, optionally cleaning out old kernels with apt autoremove. If the new kernel causes problems, you can boot an older kernel from the GRUB menu and purge the XanMod package to revert safely.
This guide shows how to pull the official WineHQ packages into Linux Mint Debian Edition 5 by enabling the i386 architecture, importing Wine’s GPG key, and adding the Bullseye‑based repository to APT. After updating the package index you install your preferred flavor—typically winehq-stable with --install-recommends to pull in the 32‑bit runtime and utilities like winetricks—and then confirm the installation with wine --version. The first run of any Windows executable launches Wine’s configuration wizard (winecfg) which creates the ~/.wine prefix and lets you set the emulated Windows version. Optional steps such as installing winetricks and adding missing DLLs or fonts complete a ready‑to‑use Wine environment on LMDE 5.

The guide walks you through installing the Nextcloud Desktop Client on Linux, offering package manager options such as APT, DNF, Snap and an optional Flatpak route for bleeding‑edge builds. It explains how to launch the client, set your server URL, pick a sync folder and tweak advanced settings like bandwidth limits or Wi‑Fi only syncing to match your environment. The tutorial also covers common pitfalls such as connectivity failures after kernel upgrades, stalled large‑file uploads and duplicate instances, showing simple fixes for each issue. Finally it provides a quick command‑line cheat sheet and concludes by assuring you that once set up the client will automatically keep local and cloud files in sync so you can focus on other tasks.

Here’s a step‑by‑step walkthrough that shows how to pull Microsoft’s official PowerShell package and get it running on Fedora 35 without any trial‑and‑error or third‑party tweaks. First, make sure the dnf‑plugins‑core package is installed so you can add repositories via config‑manager; then import Microsoft’s GPG key and register the correct repo URL that points to the fedora‑35 channel. Once the metadata is refreshed, a simple “dnf install -y powershell” pulls the binary along with any missing ICU libraries that the RPM demands, letting the installer finish in under a minute. Finally, verify that /usr/bin/pwsh exists and run “pwsh --version”; from there you can rely on Fedora’s normal update cycle to keep the shell patched as newer releases roll out.
