Wireguard is a simple and secure VPN protocol whose main developer is Jason A. Donenfeld. For a long time, the kernel module that implements this protocol was not accepted into the main branch of the Linux kernel, since it used its own implementation of cryptographic primitives (Zinc) instead of the standard crypto API. Recently, this obstacle was eliminated, including due to improvements adopted in the crypto API. […]
The other day, TrafficToll 1.0.0 was released - a rather useful console program that allows you to limit bandwidth (shaping) or completely block network traffic for individually selected applications in Linux. The program allows you to limit the incoming and outgoing speed both for each interface and for each process separately (even while it is running). The closest analogue of TrafficToll is the well-known proprietary […]

I work a lot on improving efficiency, but sometimes I get a blow to my importance - someone’s efficiency increases on its own. No, it happens, of course, that everything is explainable - a person comes across - well done, works, tries, changes something in his approaches and philosophy, so I learn from him what I can. And sometimes - bam! – and nothing is clear. Here […]

“If you read the inscription “buffalo” on an elephant’s cage, don’t believe your eyes” Kozma Prutkov In the previous article about model-based design, it was shown why an object model is needed, and it was proven that without this object model one can only talk about model based design as about a marketing blizzard, senseless and merciless. But when a model of an object appears, competent engineers always […]

Continuing the topic “What is your evidence?”, let’s look at the problem of mathematical modeling from the other side. After we are convinced that the model corresponds to the homespun truth of life, we can answer the main question: “what, exactly, do we have here?” When creating a model of a technical object, we usually want to make sure that this object will meet our expectations. This is why […]
Avoid value judgments! We split up the proposals. We throw away unnecessary things. We don't pour water. Data. Numbers. And without emotions. The “information” style, sleek and smooth, has completely taken over technical portals. Hello postmodern, our author is now dead. Already for real. For those who don't know. Information style is a series of editing techniques when any text should turn out to be a strong text. Easy to read, […]
The TFC (Tinfoil Chat) project proposed a hardware device with 3 USB ports to connect 3 computers and create a paranoid-protected messaging system. The first computer acts as a gateway for connecting to the network and launching the Tor hidden service; it manipulates already encrypted data. The second computer has the decryption keys and is used only to decrypt and display received messages. The third computer […]
The inlinec project has proposed a new way to inline-integrate C code into Python scripts. C functions are defined directly in the same Python code file, highlighted by the “@inlinec” decorator. The summary script is executed as is by the Python interpreter and parsed using the codec mechanism provided in Python, which makes it possible to connect a parser to convert the script […]
