Microsoft has presented a series of patches for discussion in the Linux kernel developers' mailing list, aimed at enabling the Hyper-V hypervisor to work with a Linux-based root environment that has direct hardware access and is used to run guest systems (similar to Dom0 in Xen).

No matter how many myths and legends surround compliance with Federal Law 152-FZ, something always remains in the shadows. Today, we want to discuss the not-so-obvious nuances that both large companies and small businesses might encounter: the subtleties of classifying personal data by categories — when a small online store collects data related to a special category, often without realizing it.
