Certificates can be created either by generating a key pair or using previously created certificate requests (PKCS#10).

How to open an office abroad - part one. For what?

The theme of moving your mortal body from one country to another is explored, it would seem, from all sides. Some say it's time. Someone says that the first ones don’t understand anything and it’s not time at all. Someone writes how to buy buckwheat in America, and someone writes how to find a job in London if you only know swear words in Russian. However, what does […]

Browser Next

The new browser with the self-explanatory name Next is focused on keyboard control, so it does not have a familiar interface as such. The keyboard shortcuts are similar to those used in Emacs and vi. The browser can be customized and supplemented with extensions in the Lisp language. There is the possibility of a “fuzzy” search - when you do not need to enter consecutive letters of a specific word/words, [...]

Zimbra Open-Source Edition and automatic signature in emails

Automatic signature in emails is perhaps one of the most frequently used functions by businesses. A signature that can be configured once can not only permanently increase the efficiency of employees and increase sales, but in some cases increase the level of information security of the company and even avoid lawsuits. For example, charities often add information about various ways to […]

Stranger - Wait, do you seriously think that genetics gives you nothing? - Of course not. Well, judge for yourself. Do you remember our class twenty years ago? History was easier for some, physics for others. Some won the Olympics, others did not. By your logic, all the winners should have a better genetic platform, although this is not the case. - However […]

AMA with Habr, #12. Crumpled issue

This is how it usually happens: we write a list of what has been done for the month, and then the names of employees who are ready to answer any of your questions. But today there will be a crumpled issue - some of the colleagues are sick and have moved away, the list of visible changes this time is not very long. And I’m still trying to finish reading posts and comments to posts about karma, disadvantages, […]
