RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) focuses on enhancing AI responses by retrieving external data, while MCP (Model Context Protocol) standardizes how AI interacts with various data sources and tools. Overview of RAG Definition: RAG is an AI architecture that improves the accuracy and relevance of responses generated by large language models (LLMs) by pulling in up-to-date information from external sources, such as databases or APIs, before generating a reply. 2 Functionality: When a user submits a query, RAG retrieves relevant content from connected data sources and appends this information to the input prompt, enriching the model's context with real-world relevance. This helps reduce inaccuracies and hallucinations in AI responses by grounding them in verifiable sources. 2 Use Cases: RAG is particularly useful in scenarios where real-time data is crucial, such as customer support, news aggregation, and any application requiring current information. 3 Sources Overview of MCP Defi...

The chroot command modifies the root directory for a process, limiting its access to the rest of the filesystem. This is useful for security, containerization, or testing purposes. The process running under chroot has no knowledge of anything outside its jail, making it appear as if it is running on the root filesystem. pivot_root vs chroot vs switch_root 1 2 3 In Linux, pivot_root, chroot, and switch_root are commands used to change the root filesystem of a process. Each has its specific use cases and functionalities. pivot_root The pivot_root command is used to change the root filesystem of the current process and its children. It swaps the current root filesystem with a new one, making the old root accessible at a specified location. This command is typically used during the boot process when the system transitions from an initial ramdisk (initrd) to the real root filesystem 1 . Example: mount  /dev/hda1 /new-root cd  /new-root pivot_root . old-root exec chroot  . sh ...

The keyboard shortcuts to copy, cut, and paste can be boiled down into three characters that utilize Vim-specific terminology. Understanding these terms will help you recall the correct keyboard shortcut. Y stands for “yank” in Vim, which is conceptually similar to copying. D stands for “delete” in Vim, which is conceptually similar to cutting. P stands for “put” in Vim, which is conceptually similar to pasting. I deliberately use the phrase “conceptually similar to” because these actions are not one and the same. If you want to dive deeper into this explanation, scroll down to the section below titled “What Happens Under the Hood?” Copy, Cutting, and Pasting in Vim/Vi - The Basics 1.Press esc to return to normal mode. Any character typed in normal mode will be interpreted as a vim command. 2.Navigate your cursor to the beginning of where you want to copy or cut. 3.To enter visual mode, you have 3 options. We suggest using visual mode because the selected characters are highlighted, an...
