=> ↺ How to Password-Protect Files and Folders on Linux
Securing your files and directories with a strong password is a sure-fire way to prevent unauthorized access and snooping on Linux.
Whether you want to share a file online, store it in the cloud, carry it on a thumb drive, or add it to your archive, password-protecting it is the best approach to secure its content and prevent unauthorized access.

=> ↺ How to Upgrade from Rocky Linux 8 to Rocky Linux 9
This step-by-step guide shows you how to easily upgrade your existing Rocky Linux 8 system to Rocky Linux 9.
Before we get into the technicalities, we need to state clearly the following. The procedure described in this guide has been tried and is workable; nevertheless, the official recommendation is that upgrading from Rocky Linux 8 to Rocky Linux 9 is not encouraged and that a clean install of Rocky Linux 9 is preferable.
The Rocky Linux team does not recommend upgrades from one major version to the next (in this case 8.6 to 9.0). While it is technically possible to upgrade between major versions, we instead recommend a fresh install of the desired latest major version.

=> ↺ Running Multiple Commands At Once in Linux – TecAdmin
We’ll learn about how to execute several commands simultaneously in Linux in this article. Every operator has its own advantages when it comes to separating commands. This tutorial will help a little bit in improving how we execute commands and author shell scripts.
The Linux operating system offers a simple command line interface for managing the system. There are shells such as Bash, CSH, and Zsh that accept commands from the user and route them to the kernel. A command is used to perform some function on the system. We may also specify multiple shells at once and execute them one after the other.
There are three distinct options available using the separator operators. In the following section, we will look at them in detail.
