What is APT and Aptitude? and What’s real Difference Between Them?

Aptitude and apt-get are two of the popular tools which handle package management. Both are capable of handling all kinds of activities on packages including installation, removal, search etc. But still there are differences between both the tools which make users prefer one over the other. What are those differences that make these two tools to be considered separately is the scope of this article.

Getting started with Let’s Encrypt SSL Certificates on Ubuntu

This tutorial will guide you through your very first configuration of an SSL website with Let’s Encrypt certification. Let’s Encrypt is a new SSL authority that provides free SSL certificates. We are going to use two existing tutorials (“How to setup an intermediate compatible SSL website with Let’s Encrypt certificate” and “The Perfect Server – Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily Werewolf) with Apache, PHP, MySQL, PureFTPD, BIND, Postfix, Dovecot and ISPConfig 3”).

The setup described here is compatible with any Ubuntu LAMP server, so you can use this one as the basis setup too.

This tutorial will show you how to setup Let’s Encrypt on Servers without ISPConfig 3 as there will be a direct implementation of the Let’s Encrypt service in the next ISPConfig 3 release (version 3.1) soon. So if you plan to use ISPConfig, wait for the 3.1 release and also a new tutorial.

Unofficial version of Pale Moon browser now available for OS X

Found this post on Reddit by user ajorpheus and thought it would be worth sharing:

You might be interested in knowing that there is now an unofficial up-to-date palemoon build (26.0.0) for OSX: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=10847&sid=8884ca5df7cb55adb954d304466f8e01

Also, efforts are underway to document the process of building OSX: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=10389

Pale moon is a fork of Firefox that some people prefer because it seems to be faster, and it doesn’t force the new look on users. Many (but not all) Firefox addons can be used with it. Official builds are only created for Windows and Linux, and OS X users are usually left out in the cold.

Here’s a better description from the Pale Moon web site:

Pale Moon offers you a browsing experience in a browser completely built from its own, independently developed source that has been forked off from Firefox/Mozilla code, with carefully selected features and optimizations to improve the browser’s speed*, resource use, stability and user experience, while offering full customization and a growing collection of extensions and themes to make the browser truly your own.

There is no link to this unofficial build for OS X on the official Pale Moon site (other than in their user forum) but nonetheless it seems to work pretty well, in fact I’m using it right now to compose this post. I make no guarantees, but if you are feeling a bit adventurous, give it a try – you just may prefer it to the increasingly lethargic Firefox!

I’ve added another 13 web developer tools! – good coders code, great coders reuse

At Browserling I want to make developer’s lives easier so I decided to create world’s largest collection of web developer and programmer tools. I found that I was often googling for things like “javascript beautifier” or “xml prettifier” and I’d often end up on random garbage websites with ads and tools that don’t work and that have tons of options that no one needs.

So I created my own tools. No ads, no garbage, just plain text tools all in one place. Press button, get result.

I just added 13 more tools that you may sometimes need. Browserling’s tool collection now has 35 different tools and more tools are coming.
