Greetings, CloudBalkan enthusiasts!

Today, on August 25th, we’re stepping back to admire the might and magic of a true tech marvel – the Linux kernel. A tale worth recounting is that of its inception. In 1991, a young Linus Torvalds, merely a student at the University of Helsinki, embarked on what he deemed a “hobby”. Making a modest announcement on the Internet newsgroup “comp.os.minix,” Linus shared, “I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like GNU)…” Little did the world anticipate that this unassuming project would evolve to be a linchpin in the realm of computing.

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, also known as Bionic Beaver, will reach its end of life (EOL) on May 31st, 2023. As this important date for “Ubuntu 18.04 LTS End of Life” approaches, it’s crucial for users to understand what this means and how to prepare.

Introduction: March 14th is an exciting day for math enthusiasts and geeks alike as it’s Pi Day! Pi (π) is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. It’s an important mathematical concept that has applications in various fields, including physics, engineering, and computer science. On this day, we celebrate the beauty and significance of pi, and also reflect on the power of technology and cloud computing that has revolutionized the way we work and learn.
