This guide walks you through expanding a full `/boot` partition on Rocky Linux 8 or CentOS, starting with a quick check of whether the boot area lives in LVM or on its own block device. If it’s an LVM logical volume, you can simply extend the LV, resize the filesystem, and rebuild GRUB without touching any other data; if it’s a separate partition, you’ll need to back up `/boot`, use a live USB, delete and recreate a larger partition, copy the files back, update `/etc/fstab` with the new UUID, reinstall GRUB, and reboot. The article stresses that backups are essential because moving or resizing the boot area can corrupt kernel images or chainloaders if you slip. Finally, it offers quick sanity checks—such as verifying GRUB output in dmesg—to make sure everything boots correctly after the resize.

This tutorial walks you through setting up Bagisto on an Ubuntu or Debian server, beginning with updating your system to prevent later dependency issues. It covers installing the necessary PHP extensions and other core packages, creating a MySQL database with proper UTF‑8 settings, and cloning the Bagisto repository into your web root. After pulling the code, Composer installs production dependencies while environment variables are configured for database access and URL routing, followed by running migrations, seeding data, and creating an admin user via artisan commands. Finally, you adjust file permissions for the web server, configure Nginx or Apache to serve the storefront, and verify that the shop loads correctly in a browser.

The article walks readers through installing Slackware 15 from the ground up, emphasizing practical steps over theory and cutting out unnecessary filler. It starts with creating a reliable bootable USB or DVD, verifying the ISO’s checksum, and then guides users through BIOS/UEFI selection, legacy mode toggling, and partitioning with cfdisk or fdisk to set up root, swap, and optional boot partitions. Next, it explains mounting those filesystems, running slackpkg to update package lists, launching the text‑based installer, selecting a minimal or standard package set, configuring GRUB as the bootloader, and finally rebooting into a fresh system where you can secure it with a new password and run an initial upgrade. The author also shares a real‑world anecdote about older laptops stuck in UEFI mode, showing how switching to legacy BIOS solves the problem without code changes, and wraps up by encouraging users to enjoy the lightweight, customizable Slackware experience.

The guide walks you through moving a website from example.tld to newdomain on Debian 11 using nginx. It recommends creating a dedicated config, adding a minimal server block that listens on port 80 and returns a 301 redirect while preserving the path and query string. After enabling the site, checking syntax with `nginx -t`, reloading the service, and verifying the redirect with a browser or curl, you’ll have a clean handoff from the old domain to the new one. The author explains why this concise method outperforms complex rewrite rules, how to handle HTTPS on the legacy domain if needed, and suggests using .htaccess when cPanel is the only option.

The guide walks you through enabling EPEL, installing snapd, and activating its socket so that the “snap install” command works on Rocky Linux 8. After pulling in the snap packages you should enable the system‑wide snapd.socket, optionally create a symlink to support classic confinement, then reboot or log out for user directories to initialize. Once logged back in, running “snap version” verifies that snapd is correctly configured and lets you install applications like GIMP without error. The article also highlights common pitfalls such as confusing snapd.service with the socket and forgetting the symlink for classic snaps, reminding users that a quick reboot often resolves most hiccups.
