Leak Confirms Increased LXNUMX Cache on Future Intel Processors

In the SiSoftware performance test database, an entry was found about testing a server or workstation built on two mysterious six-core Intel processors.

The discrete Intel DG1 solution will differ little from integrated graphics in terms of performance

The news often mentions Intel's discrete graphics processor, which will be released at the end of 2021, will be produced using 7nm technology and will be part of the Ponte Vecchio computing accelerator. Meanwhile, the first-born of the “new era” in the history of the development of discrete graphics solutions from Intel should be considered a product with the simple designation DG1, the existence of samples of which was announced by the head of […]

Confirmed: Microsoft's next generation of consoles will simply be called Xbox

Last week, Microsoft presented the appearance of the next generation Xbox, and also announced its name - Xbox Series X. The device is the company's fourth console generation, following the Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

What is Fresnel Zone and CCQ (Client Connection Quality) or Fundamental Factors of a Quality Wireless Bridge

Contents CCQ - what is it? Three main factors influencing the quality of CCQ. Fresnel zone - what is it? How to calculate the Fresnel zone? In this article I want to talk about the fundamental factors of building a high-quality wireless bridge, since many “network builders” believe that it will be enough to buy high-quality network equipment, install and get 100% return from them - which […]

1C - Good and evil. Arrangement of points in holivars around 1C

Friends and colleagues, recently there have been more frequent articles on Habré with hate towards 1C as a development platform, and speeches by its defenders. These articles identified one serious problem: most often, critics of 1C criticize it from the position of “not mastering it,” scolding problems that are de facto easily solved, and, on the contrary, not touching on problems that are really important and worth discussing […]

How to open tunnel to Kubernetes pod or container with tcpserver and netcat

Note transl.: This practical note from the creator of LayerCI is an excellent illustration of the so-called tips & tricks for Kubernetes (and not only). The solution proposed here is only one of the few and, perhaps, not the most obvious (for some cases, the “native” kubectl port-forward already mentioned in the comments for K8s may be suitable). However, it allows you to at least look at [...]

This time I want to present the results of testing virtual servers from well-known and large companies: DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode and Hetzner. Made 38 tests for all available locations. […]

Programmers, Devops and Schrödinger's Cats

The reality of a network engineer (with noodles and... salt?) Recently, while discussing various incidents with engineers, I noticed an interesting pattern. In these discussions, the question of “root cause” invariably comes up. Faithful readers will know that I have a few thoughts on this matter. In many organizations, incident analysis is based entirely on this concept. They use different techniques to identify cause-and-effect […]
