Practice shows that up to 80% of existing viruses live perfectly in a virtual environment. In this post we will talk about how to protect IT resources in the public cloud and why traditional antiviruses are not entirely suitable for these […]

Experience in creating the first robot on Arduino (robot-"hunter")

Hello. In this article I want to describe the process of assembling my first robot using Arduino. The material will be useful to other beginners like me who want to make some kind of “self-running cart.” The article is a description of the stages of working with my additions on various nuances. A link to the final code (most likely not the most ideal) is given at the end of the article. […]

Author's course on teaching Arduino for your own son

Hello! Last winter, on the pages of Habr, I talked about creating a “hunter” robot using Arduino.

Yes, interest after the completed project […]

Belokamentsev's shorts

Recently, quite by accident, at the suggestion of one good person, an idea was born - to attach a brief summary to each article. Not an abstract, not an enticement, but a summary. Such that you can not read the article at all. I tried it and really liked it. But it doesn’t matter - the main thing is that the readers liked it. Those who had long ago stopped reading began to return, branding […]

MPV 0.30 video player release

After a year of development, the open source video player MPV 0.30 is now available, a fork from the codebase of the MPlayer2 project several years ago. MPV focuses on developing new features and ensuring that new features are continually backported from the MPlayer repositories, without worrying about maintaining compatibility with MPlayer. The MPV code is licensed under LGPLv2.1+, some parts remain under GPLv2, but the migration process […]

Turning on telemetry in GitLab is delayed

GitLab has promised not to enable telemetry in the GitLab.com cloud service and self-contained editions for now. Additionally, GitLab intends to first discuss future rule changes with the community […]
