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 […]

As part of the Wine-wayland project, a set of patches and a winewayland.drv driver have been prepared that allow you to use Wine in environments based on the Wayland protocol, without using XWayland and X11-related components. In particular, it is possible to run games and applications that use the Vulkan graphics API and Direct3D 9, 10 and 11. Direct3D support is implemented using the DXVK layer, which translates […]

At the last FOSDEM 2020 conference, the OpenWifi project was presented, developing the first open implementation of the full Wi-Fi 802.11a/g/n stack, the signal shape and modulation in which are specified in software (SDR, Software Defined Radio). OpenWifi allows you to create a fully controlled implementation of all components of a wireless device, including low-level layers, which in conventional wireless adapters are implemented at the level of chips that are not auditable. Code of software components, [...]
