Many have come across a wonderful feature, for example, on HPE switches - if for some reason the config is not saved manually, after a reboot the previous saved config is rolled back. The technology is somewhat ruthless (forgot to save it - do it again), but fair and reliable. But in Mikrotik, there is no such function in the database, although the sign has long been known: “remote configuration of a router […]

But the habit turned out to be harmful. And I decided to replace the FM receiver with an Internet receiver. I quickly bought parts on Aliexpress and assembled an Internet receiver. About the Internet receiver. The heart of the receiver is the ESP32 microcontroller. Firmware from […]

Wanting to perhaps hit it hard before launch, Electronic Arts kept Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order under wraps, meaning we saw surprisingly little gameplay of the action game. That all changed earlier this week when international press and media influencers were invited to Anaheim to try out the project for themselves. They were invited to visit several planets, including Dathomir […]
Google has announced that it is strengthening Chrome's cross-site isolation mode, allowing pages from different sites to be processed in separate, isolated processes. Isolation mode at the site level allows you to protect the user from attacks that can be carried out through third-party blocks used on the site, such as iframe inserts, or to block data leakage through embedding legitimate blocks (for example, […]
The dream of every person is to stay young as long as possible. We don’t want to grow old and get sick, we are afraid of everything - cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, heart attack, stroke...

A vulnerability (CVE-2019-17666) was identified in the rtlwifi driver for wireless adapters on Realtek chips included in the Linux kernel, which could potentially be exploited to organize code execution in the context of the kernel when sending specially designed frames. The vulnerability is caused by a buffer overflow in the code implementing the P2P (Wifi-Direct) mode. When parsing NoA (Notice of Absence) frames, there is no size check […]
A vulnerability (CVE-2019-18192) has been identified in the GNU Guix package manager that allows code to be executed in the context of another user. The problem occurs in multi-user Guix configurations and is caused by incorrectly setting access rights to the system directory with user profiles.

The problem is that the permissions on the /var/guix/profiles/per-user/ directory […]
