Several years ago, I reviewed communication tools for summer cottage owners or those living in their houses where broadband internet access is unavailable or costs so much that it’s easier to move to the city. Since then, a lot of terabytes have been transferred, and I became curious about what is currently available on the market for good access to the internet via LTE […]
In the previous article, I discussed the topic of 'country' internet and devices for accessing this internet. However, not everyone has a cell tower within visible range, and a cellular operator's modem dongle can be utterly useless. This is where specialized routers, boosters, and directional antennas come into play. In this article, I will explain how to achieve a level of comfort […]

For China, mass production of SSD controllers is as crucial as establishing domestic production of NAND flash memory and DRAM. Limited production of 32-layer 3D NAND and DDR4 chips has already begun in the country. But what is the situation with controllers? According to EXPreview, about ten companies in China are developing SSD controllers. All of them utilize that or […]
From Idea to Implementation: Modifying the existing digital signature scheme based on elliptic curves to make it deterministic, and providing on its basis functions for obtaining verifiable pseudorandom numbers within the blockchain. Idea In the autumn of 2018, the first smart contracts were activated on the Waves blockchain, immediately raising the question of the possibility of obtaining trustworthy pseudorandom numbers. Pondering this issue, […]
The release of the free, cross-platform UNIX-like operating system OpenBSD 6.5 has come to light. The OpenBSD project was founded by Theo de Raadt in 1995 after a conflict with developers of NetBSD, which resulted in Theo being denied access to the NetBSD CVS repository. After that, Theo de Raadt and a group of like-minded individuals created a fork based on the NetBSD source code tree […]

Hello! I want to explain in simple terms how steal arises within virtual machines and some of the not-so-obvious artifacts we discovered during our investigation, which I delved into as the tech director of Mail.ru Cloud Solutions. The platform operates on KVM. CPU steal time is the time when a virtual machine does not receive CPU resources […]
