There was a time when it seemed that 3D printing was about to become the property of almost every home, but time passes, and we have not seen the mass introduction of such technologies. However, this does not mean that the industry stands still. During the past CES 2020, many Chinese 3D printer developers showed off their latest professional and industrial-grade solutions. Today […]

It is easier to create a project for a commercial organization than for a government organization. Over the past year and a half, we have implemented more than twenty LoRa tasks, but we will remember this one for a long time. Because here we had to work with a conservative system. In this article I will tell you how we have simplified the management of city lighting and made it more accurate in relation to daylight hours. I will praise us and scold us [...]
Why atomic swaps are bad and how channels will help them, what important things happened in the Constantinople hard fork and what to do when you have nothing to pay for gas. The main motivation of any security specialist is the desire to avoid responsibility. Providence was merciful, I left the ICO without waiting for the first irreversible transaction, but soon found myself developing a crypto exchange. I am definitely not Malchish Kibalchish, [...]
In the last episode... About a year ago I wrote about managing city lighting in one of our cities. Everything was very simple there: according to a schedule, the power to the lamps was turned on and off through SHUNO (external lighting control cabinet). There was a relay in the SHUNO, upon whose command the chain of lights was turned on. Perhaps the only interesting thing is that this was done via LoRaWAN. […]
