The tech world is buzzing with two transformative trends — artificial intelligence (AI) and sustainability. As machine learning (ML) powers everything from predictive analytics to autonomous systems, its environmental footprint is growing. Cloud data centers powering ML workloads consume vast amounts of energy, contributing to significant carbon emissions. Enter MLOps for Green AI: A fusion of machine learning operations (MLOps) and sustainable DevOps practices that promise to make AI not just smarter, but greener. With over 18 years in IT and a deep focus on DevOps, I have seen firsthand how cloud infrastructure can be a double-edged sword — unlocking innovation while straining resources.…

I was on the epicgames.com website the other day, signing up so I could relive my Magic: The Gathering glory days with Arena. While doing that I saw their style for modal dialogs and thought I should try to re-create that with because apparently I’m both of those types of nerd. It’s a This thing came up on top of other content, so that alone makes it appropriate for the HTML element. We’ll use that. No Taller than Viewport It’s not absolutely required that the entire needs to be shorter than the viewport. If it’s taller, you just need to…

Observability — the ability to measure and understand the internal state of a system by analyzing the data it produces — has come a long way in the past 15 years. Companies such as Dynatrace have led the charge, helping businesses transform how they monitor and manage their systems. At the recent KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 conference, Alois Mayr, senior principal product manager at Dynatrace, shared his insights on the evolution of observability and how artificial intelligence (AI) is now reshaping it. The Evolution of Observability When Mayr first joined Dynatrace nearly two decades ago, observability was a nascent concept. Back…
This release is a major update that includes improvements in PHPStan annotations, Xdebug, and WordPress support, an AI Free tier and new subscription system for JetBrains AI, and more. Download PhpStorm 2025.1 PHP Code completion for @phpstan-type and @phpstan-import-type This release improves PhpStorm’s PHPStan annotation support, introducing code completion for array shape aliases in @phpstan-type and @phpstan-import-type. Using the local type aliases defined in PHPDoc’s @phpstan-type annotation (or referenced in the @phpstan-import-type annotation), the IDE autocompletes array keys in class bodies. Support for nested variables in .env files Version 2025.1 extends PhpStorm’s .env file support to include nested variables syntax.…
One of the most important tasks in Linux systems administration is process management, which involves several operations such as monitoring, signaling processes, and setting process priorities on the system. There are numerous Linux tools/utilities designed for monitoring and handling processes, such as top, ps, pgrep, kill, killall, nice, and many others. In this article, we shall uncover how to find processes using a powerful and resourceful Linux utility called fuser. What is a fuser in Linux? fuser is a simple yet powerful command-line utility intended to locate processes based on the files, directories, or sockets a particular process is accessing.…

As organizations strive for faster, more reliable software delivery, continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines function as the critical arteries of modern development. However, when these essential pathways become slow, unreliable or require excessive manual intervention, they transform from conduits of innovation into significant sources of friction. This inefficiency does not just delay builds; it actively erodes the developer experience (DevEx), hindering productivity, lowering morale, contributing to burnout and ultimately stifling the pace of progress and innovation. “The #1 way you can optimize your CI/CD pipelines is to identify and leverage tools that reduce the amount of work that your developers…
As a newbie, one of the many things you should master in Linux is identifying the devices attached to your system. It could be your computer’s hard disk, an external hard drive, or removable media such as a USB drive or an SD memory card. Using USB drives for file transfer is super common these days, and for those (new Linux users) who prefer using the command line, learning how to identify a USB device name is really important, especially when you need to format it. Once you attach a device to your system, like a USB, it’s usually auto-mounted…
An analysis published by ReversingLabs, a provider of tools for securing application development environments, suggests that commercial software used in software supply chains is just as vulnerable as open-source code.Scans of more than two dozen widely used commercial-software binaries, including commercial operating systems, password managers, web browsers and virtual private network (VPN) software, found numerous risks, with many of the packages receiving a failing security grade due to the discovery of exposed secrets, actively exploited software vulnerabilities, evidence of possible code tampering and inadequate application hardening.ReversingLabs also scanned 20 distinct versions of VPN clients from six prominent vendors. Seven of…
