=> ↺ How to Check the Status of an Apache Server on Linux
Apache is one of the most widely used web server software applications in the world. A W3Techs survey estimates that just over 31 percent of all known web servers use a version of Apache. It’s highly customizable, responsive, and completely open-source.
Apache is an excellent and well-established option for running a website. It’s vital to know how to do essential maintenance when running an Apache web server. Here are five different ways to check your Apache server status on Linux.

The sky is the limit for educational technologies today. The forecast is more and more closed. The explosion of “Platform as a Service” (PaaS) solutions is increasing the rate of innovation in digital products, enabling them to scale instantly without compromising reliability, and at a lower cost. Leading the PaaS charge is Amazon Web Services (AWS), its reign anything but secure.
It only makes sense to consider the potential of Moodle™, the largest, open source Learning Management System today, on the AWS. The setup can be tricky, but Roy Plomantes, CTO of Nephila Web Technology, has decades of experience making anyone capable to build things they didn’t think they would on the cloud, maybe even struck by its vast potential.
=> ↺ 5 Ways to Count Files in a Directory on Linux
Working with operating systems like Linux, managing files is one of the fundamental tasks. If you are a Linux admin, imagine the file count you have to deal with. And if your files consume a lot of disk space, then it will be a tough nut to crack. Let's discuss some ways to count these files, including the pesky hidden files.
A series of rabbit holes, some of which led to unshaved yaks, recently landed me on a book called Mastering Emacs. Given that I have been using Emacs "professionally" for more than 16 years—and first looked into it a good ways into the previous century—I should probably be pretty well-versed in that editor-cum-operating-system. Sadly, for a variety of reasons, that is not really true, but the book and some concerted effort have been helping me down a path toward Emacs-ian enlightenment. Mastering Emacs may also help others who are struggling in the frothy sea that makes up Emacs documentation.
The backstory of how I got here is kind of goofy—some days rabbit holes look like so much fun ... and they definitely can be, but the lost "productivity" may be problematic. In any case, a Hacker News item on "Elixir for cynical curmudgeons" caught my eye a few weeks back since I certainly qualify. After reading that and poking at Elixir (and Erlang) documentation some, I remembered that I always wanted to understand Lisp macros better—or at all, in truth. That led me back to a project that I started (and promptly drifted away from) after a talk at linux.conf.au about the history of Lisp that I really enjoyed.
