This is a short story from real practice where a minor issue, well disguised by redundancy, turns into a headache. A brief setup: A small branch with its own PBX (Asterisk + FreePBX) based on desktop hardware, along with a local terminal server running 1C, a file repository, and a virtual RO domain controller. Internet access is provided by Mikrotik. The branch is small, and this setup suffices for its needs. It all began […]
In this article, I will explain how to use Pinba together with ClickHouse and Grafana instead of pinba_engine and Pinboard. For PHP projects, Pinba is perhaps the only reliable way to understand what is happening with performance. However, Pinba is usually implemented only when there are already observed problems and it's unclear 'where to dig.' Often, no one has any idea how many times per second/minute […]
The Apache Foundation has announced the completion of its integration with GitHub and the migration of all its Git services to GitHub. Initially, two version control systems were offered for Apache project development: the centralized version control system Subversion and the decentralized system Git.

Intel's CEO Robert Swan frequently mentioned the shortage of manufacturing capacity during the recent quarterly earnings conference, in the context of rising costs and a shift in the processor lineup towards more expensive models with more cores. Such changes allowed Intel to increase the average selling price of processors by 13% in the mobile segment in the first quarter and […]
The presentation by Dell, which the well-known Dutch website referenced when discussing Intel's upcoming announcements of new processors, initially focused on the mobile and commercial product segment. As independent experts rightly pointed out, the timeline for new product releases from Intel could differ in the consumer segment, and yesterday this notion was confirmed in a new publication on the pages of Tweakers.net. The title of the slide […]
Here, posts are occasionally written about how people store and back up their photos — and just files in general. In the latest such post, I wrote a rather lengthy comment, thought a bit, and decided to expand it into a full post. Especially since I slightly changed my cloud backup method, which might be useful to someone. A home server where much of what is described takes place […]

The research company "Javelin Strategy & Research" published the report "The State of Strong Authentication 2019" (the original pdf can be downloaded here). This report details the percentage of American and European companies using passwords (and why passwords are currently […]
For cooling in data centers, centralized multi-zone systems with water-cooled chillers are most commonly installed. They are more efficient than freon-based air conditioners because the coolant circulating between the external and internal units does not turn into a gas, and the compressor-condenser unit of the chiller only activates when the temperature rises to a certain level. One of the most critical issues when designing […]
It has been over two years since the last code review of the LLVM project using our PVS-Studio analyzer. Let's ensure that the PVS-Studio analyzer is still the leading tool for identifying bugs and potential vulnerabilities. To do this, we will check and find new errors in the LLVM 8.0.0 release. The article that needs to be written Honestly, I didn't want to write this article. […]
