+  # Chirpy Jekyll Theme

-When installing the [**Chirpy**][chirpy] theme through [RubyGems.org][gem], Jekyll can only read files in the folders
-`_data`, `_layouts`, `_includes`, `_sass` and `assets`, as well as a small part of options of the `_config.yml` file
-from the theme's gem. If you have ever installed this theme gem, you can use the command
-`bundle info --path jekyll-theme-chirpy` to locate these files.
+  A minimal, responsive, and feature-rich Jekyll theme for technical writing.

-The Jekyll team claims that this is to leave the ball in the user’s court, but this also results in users not being
-able to enjoy the out-of-the-box experience when using feature-rich themes.

+  [![996.icu](https://img.shields.io/badge/link-996.icu-%23FF4D5B.svg)](https://996.icu)

-To fully use all the features of **Chirpy**, you need to copy the other critical files from the theme's gem to your
-Jekyll site. The following is a list of targets:

-```shell

-├── _plugins
-├── _tabs
-└── index.html
-```
+  [![Devices Mockup](https://chirpy-img.netlify.app/commons/devices-mockup.png)][demo]

-To save you time, and also in case you lose some files while copying, we extract those files/configurations of the
-latest version of the **Chirpy** theme and the [CD][CD] workflow to here, so that you can start writing in minutes.

-title: SOLID Principles

-  alt: Understanding SOLID Principles
-slug: solid-principles
---
-
-The SOLID principles are a set of **five design principles** that are intended to guide software development to create more  **understandable**, **maintainable**, **extendable** and **scalable** code. These principles were introduced by **Robert C. Martin** (also known as Uncle Bob) in the early 2000s and have since become fundamental concepts in object-oriented design and programming. Here's a brief overview of each principle:
-
-## 1. Single Responsibility Principle (SRP):
-This principle states that a class should have **only one reason to change**. In other words, a class should have **only one responsibility or job**. By adhering to SRP, you ensure that classes are focused and have clear, understandable purposes, which makes them **easier to maintain and test**.
-
-**Example**: *Think of a chef in a restaurant. Instead of having a chef who both cooks meals and serves customers, you'd want separate roles. The chef should focus on cooking delicious dishes, while a waiter takes care of serving customers.*
-
-```c#
-// Before
-public class Chef
-{
-    public void CookMeals() { /*...*/ }
-    public void ServeMeals() { /*...*/ }
-}
-
-// After
-public class Chef
-{
-    public void CookMeals() { /*...*/ }
-}
-
-public class Waiter
-{
-    public void ServeMeals() { /*...*/ }
-}
-
-```
-
-## 2. Open/Closed Principle (OCP):
-This Principle suggests that software entities `(classes, modules, functions, etc.)` should be **open for extension** but **closed for modification**. This means that you should be able to **extend the behavior of a module without modifying its source code**. This is typically achieved through the use of **inheritance**, **polymorphism** and **parameters**.
-
-**Example**: *Consider a shape drawing application. Instead of modifying the existing shape classes every time you need to add a new shape, you'd create a abstact class called **Shape** and implement it in different shape classes like **Circle**, **Square**, etc. Then, when you want to add a new shape, you create a new class that implements the Shape without modifying the existing code.*
-
-```c#
-// Before
-public class Shape
-{
-    public double CircleArea(double radius) { /*...*/ }
-
-    public double SquareArea(double sideLength) { /*...*/ }
-}
-
-// After
-public abstract class Shape
-{
-    public abstract double Area();
-}
-
-public class Circle : Shape
-{
-    public override double Area() { /*...*/ }
-}
-
-public class Square : Shape
-{
-    public override double Area() { /*...*/ }
-}
-```
-
-## 3. Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP):
-This Principle states that objects of a superclass should be substitutable with objects of its subclasses without affecting the correctness of the program. In simpler terms, **a subclass should behave in such a way that it does not break the functionality that the superclass expects**.
-
-**Example**: *Consider a program that expects objects of type Bird. According to LSP, if you have a class Swan that inherits from Bird, you should be able to substitute an instance of Swan wherever you expect an Bird without breaking the program's functionality.*
-
-```c#
-// Before
-public abstract class Bird 
-{
-    public abstract void Fly() { /* I can fly */}
-}
-
-public abstract class Penguin : Bird 
-{
-    // Violating LSP principle (Penguin class breaks Fly functionality)
-    public override void Fly() 
-    { 
-        throw new NotImplementedException("Penguins can't fly!");
-    }
-}
-
-// After
-public abstract class Bird 
-{
-    public abstract void Fly() { /* I can fly */}
-}
-
-public abstract class Swan : Bird
-{
-    public override void Fly() { /* I can fly */ }
-}
-```
-
-## 4. Interface Segregation Principle (ISP)
-This Principle suggests that clients should not be forced to depend on interfaces they do not use. In other words, **interfaces should be fine-grained and specific to the client's needs**. This involves breaking large interfaces into smaller, more focused interfaces.
-
-**Example**: *Lets consider **IPerson** interface which has methods to work and eat. **Robot** class cannot implement IPerson interface as it cannot eat. IPerson should be splitted in to smaller interfaces like **IEater** and **IWorker** so Robot can implement IWorker.*
-```c#
-// Before
-public interface IPerson
-{
-    void Work();
-    void Eat();
-}
-
-public class Robot : IPerson
-{
-    public void Work() { /*...*/ }
-    public void Eat() { /*...*/ } // Doesn't make sense for a robot
-}
-
-// After
-public interface IWorker
-{
-    void Work();
-}
-
-public interface IEater
-{
-    void Eat();
-}
-
-public class Robot : IWorker
-{
-    public void Work() { /*...*/ }
-}
-
-public class Human : IEater, IWorker
-{
-    public void Work() { /*...*/ }
-    public void Eat() { /*...*/ }
-}
-```
-
-## 5. Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP)
-This Principle states that high-level modules should not depend on low-level modules. Instead, **both should depend on abstractions**. This principle encourages the use of interfaces or abstract classes to decouple classes from their concrete implementations. Abstractions should not depend on details. Details should depend on abstractions.
-
-**Example**: *If UserService directly depends on the concrete implementation of MySQLDatabase. This violates DIP since the high-level class UserService is directly dependent on a low-level class.
-**If we want to switch to a different database system (e.g., PostgreSQL), we need to modify the UserService class**.
-Instead of depending on concrete implementations, the high-level class UserService should depend on abstractions. Let's create a Database interface as an abstraction:*
-
-```c#
-// Before
-
-/* Low-level module */
-class MySQLDatabase {
-  getUserData(id: number): string {
-    // Logic to fetch user data from MySQL database
-  }
-}
-
-/* High-level module */
-class UserService {
-  private database: MySQLDatabase;
-
-  constructor() {
-    this.database = new MySQLDatabase();
-  }
-
-  getUser(id: number): string {
-    return this.database.getUserData(id);
-  }
-}
-
-// After
-
-/* Abstract interface (abstraction) for the low-level module */
-interface Database {
-  getUserData(id: number): string;
-}
-
-/* low-level module implementing the Database interface */
-class MySQLDatabase implements Database {
-  getUserData(id: number): string {}
-}
-
-/* low-level module implementing the Database interface */
-class PostgreSQLDatabase implements Database {
-  getUserData(id: number): string {}
-}
-
-/* High-level module */
-class UserService {
-  private database: Database;
-
-  constructor(database: Database) {
-    this.database = database;
-  }
-
-  getUser(id: number): string {
-    return this.database.getUserData(id);
-  }
-}
-```
-This way, the UserService class depends on the Database abstraction, not on concrete implementations, fulfilling the Dependency Inversion Principle.
-
-**Note:** I'm excited to share this post that's like a treasure chest filled with nuggets of wisdom from different articles I've come across. Some of the examples taken from these articles [1](https://dev.to/galwaycoder/the-solid-principles-in-software-design-explained-53n) [2](https://dev.to/lukeskw/solid-principles-theyre-rock-solid-for-good-reason-31hn).

-    alt: A Beginner's Guide to UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall)
-slug: ufw-guide
---
-UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall) is a powerful yet user-friendly tool that allows you to control which connections can access your Linux system. Designed with simplicity in mind, it’s perfect for beginners while still offering advanced features for experienced users. In this post, we’ll explore how UFW works, how to use it effectively, and why it’s an essential tool for securing your system.
-
-When it comes to securing your Linux server or desktop, managing network access is one of the most critical tasks. Firewalls serve as the first line of defense, and while tools like iptables offer granular control, they can be intimidating for beginners. That’s where UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall) steps in.
-
-UFW is a user-friendly interface for managing iptables, designed to simplify the process of configuring a firewall. Whether you’re a seasoned Linux administrator or a newcomer, UFW makes securing your system straightforward and efficient.
-
-## Why Use UFW?
-1. **Ease of Use:** UFW abstracts the complexities of iptables, offering simple commands to configure firewall rules.
-2. **Default Settings:** UFW ships with sensible defaults, such as denying all incoming connections while allowing outgoing ones.
-3. **Integration:** It integrates well with many linux distributions and is often installed by default.
-4. **Script-Friendly:** UFW is ideal for automation and scripting, making it perfect for managing servers at scale.
-
-## Installing UFW
-Most modern Linux distributions come with UFW pre-installed. If it’s not already on your system, you can install it with the following commands:
-
-For Ubuntu/Debian:
-```terminal
-sudo apt update
-sudo apt install ufw
-```
-For CentOS/RHEL:
-```terminal
-sudo yum install epel-release
-sudo yum install ufw
-```
-For Arch Linux:
-```terminal
-sudo pacman -S ufw
-```
-## Basic UFW Commands
-### Enable UFW
-Before configuring UFW, you need to enable it:
-```terminal
-sudo ufw enable
-```
-### Check UFW Status
-To see whether UFW is running and view current rules:
-```terminal
-sudo ufw status
-```
-### Allowing connections
-To allow traffic on a specific port, use the `allow` command. For example, to allow SSH connections:
-```terminal
-sudo ufw allow ssh
-```
-Or, specify the port number:
-```terminal
-sudo ufw allow 22
-```
-### Denying Connections
-To block traffic on a specific port:
-```terminal
-sudo ufw deny 80
-```
-### Removing Rules
-To delete a rule, prepend the rule with `delete`. For example:
-```terminal
-sudo ufw delete allow 22
-```
-Or Remove a rule by its number
-
-List UFW Rules with Numbers
-```terminal
-sudo ufw status numbered
-```
-Example output
-```terminal
-Status: active
-
-     To                         Action      From
-[ 1] 22/tcp                     ALLOW       Anywhere
-[ 2] 80/tcp                     ALLOW       Anywhere
-[ 3] 22/tcp (v6)                ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)
-[ 4] 80/tcp (v6)                ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)
-```
-Delete the Rule by Number
-```terminal
-sudo ufw delete 2
-```
-### Resetting UFW
-To reset UFW to its default state, removing all rules:
-```terminal
-sudo ufw reset
-```
-## Advanced Usage
-### Limiting Connections
-To protect against brute-force attacks, you can limit connections by using `limit` rule in UFW. This rule restricts the rate of new connections from the same IP address, allowing only a limited number of connections per minute (default: 6 attempts within 30 seconds). You can adjust these values by modifying the UFW configuration files, typically found in `/etc/ufw/` or `/etc/ufw/ufw.conf`, or by customizing rate limits using iptables rules directly. within a specified time frame. For instance, to limit SSH attempts, you can execute:
-```terminal
-sudo ufw limit ssh
-```
-This helps to deter malicious actors trying to gain unauthorized access to your system by repeatedly guessing passwords or exploiting vulnerabilities.
-### Allowing Specific IP Addresses
-To allow traffic from a specific IP address:
-```terminal
-sudo ufw allow from 192.168.0.100
-```
-Allowing Traffic to a Specific Port and IP
-For more granular control, you can specify both source IP and destination port:
-```terminal
-sudo ufw allow from 192.168.0.100 to any port 22
-sudo ufw allow from 192.168.0.0/24 to any port 22 proto tcp
-```
-### Using Application Profiles
-UFW supports application profiles to simplify rule management for common services. List available profiles with:
-```terminal
-sudo ufw app list
-```
-To allow a specific application, UFW provides predefined profiles for commonly used software and services. These profiles encapsulate the necessary port and protocol details, simplifying firewall configuration. For instance, to permit traffic for an application like Apache, you can execute:
-```terminal
-sudo ufw allow 'Apache Full'
-```
-This command enables both HTTP (port 80) and HTTPS (port 443) traffic, as defined in the application profile.
-
-## Best Practices
-1. **Start with Defaults:** UFW's default policy denies incoming traffic and allows outgoing traffic, a good starting point for most setups.
-2. **Enable Logging:** Turn on logging to monitor blocked traffic:
-```terminal
-sudo ufw logging on
-```
-3. **Test Rules:** Before applying complex rules on a production system, test them in a safe environment.
-4. **Document Changes:** Keep a record of the rules you add or remove to make troubleshooting easier.
-
-## Conclusion
-UFW makes it easy to manage your firewall, even if you’re new to Linux. By learning its simple and advanced features, you can protect your system without the hassle of complicated tools like iptables. Whether you’re using one computer or many servers, UFW is a great tool to keep things secure.
