According to online sources, Google has released an internal beta version of the YouTube Music service, which implements some of the functions of Google Play Music, including support for music uploaded by users.

We raise our Webogram instance with proxying through nginx

Hello, Habr! Recently I found myself in a situation in which it was necessary to work inside a corporate network with incomplete access to the Internet and, as you can guess from the title, Telegram was blocked in it. I am sure that this situation is familiar to many. I can do without instant messengers, but Telegram was what I needed for work. Install the client […]

The Impact of Ethernet on Networking in 2020

The translation of the article was prepared specifically for students of the Network Engineer course. Enrollment for the course is now open. BACK TO THE FUTURE WITH SINGLE-PAIR 10Mbps ETHERNET - PETER JONES, ETHERNET ALLIANCE AND CISCO It may be hard to believe, but 10Mbps Ethernet is once again becoming a very popular topic in our industry. People ask me: “Why are we going back to the 1980s?” There is a simple […]

A little more about bad testing

One day I accidentally came across code that a user was trying to monitor RAM performance in his virtual machine. I won’t give this code (there’s a “footcloth” there) and I’ll leave only the most essential. So, the cat is in the studio! #include #include #include #define CNT 1024 #define SIZE (1024*1024) int main() { struct timeval start; struct timeval end; […]

Building a Telegram bot in Yandex.Cloud

Today, from available materials, we will assemble a Telegram bot in Yandex.Cloud using Yandex Cloud Functions (or Yandex functions - for short) and Yandex Object Storage (or Object storage - for clarity). The code will be in Node.js. However, there is one piquant circumstance - a certain organization called, let’s say, RossKomTsenzur (censorship is prohibited by Article 29 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation), does not allow Internet providers […]

We analyze the perfect case of phishing when renting an apartment

Nice photos of a place caught my attention, and I wanted to contact the landlords and find out more about it. Despite my experience as a security professional, I […]

Paul Graham: The Top Idea in Your Mind

I recently realized that I underestimated the importance of what people think about in the shower in the morning. I already knew that great ideas often come to mind at this time. Now I will say more: it is unlikely that you will be able to do something truly outstanding if you do not think about it in your soul. Probably everyone who has worked on complex […]

Debian to add Unity 8 desktop and Mir display server

Recently, Mike Gabriel, one of the Debian maintainers, agreed with the people from the UBports Foundation to package the Unity 8 desktop for Debian. Why do this? The main advantage of Unity 8 is convergence: a single code base for all platforms. It looks equally good on desktops, tablets and smartphones. On Debian there is currently no ready-made […]
