Linux security systems

One of the reasons for the tremendous success of Linux OS on embedded, mobile devices and servers is the relatively high degree of security of the kernel, related services and applications. But if you look closely at the architecture of the Linux kernel, you can not find in it a square responsible for security, as such. Where is the Linux security subsystem hiding and what does it consist of? Background […]

“Unsolicited recommendations”: why learn to search for music without the help of streaming services

After reviewing alternatives for the background, we told you where to look and how to pick up new tracks.

TestRail - Individual settings for the project

Introduction In many projects that I worked with, people did not customize TestRail for themselves and managed with standard settings. Therefore, in this article I will try to describe an example of individual settings that can help you increase the efficiency of your work. For example, let's take a mobile application development project. Small disclaimer. This article does not describe the basic functionality of TestRail (this […]

Project configuration inside and outside Kubernetes

I recently wrote an answer about the life of a project in Docker and debugging code outside of it, where I briefly mentioned that you can make your own configuration system so that the service works well in Kuber, pulls up secrets, and runs locally conveniently, including outside of Docker altogether. . Nothing complicated, but the described "recipe" may be useful to someone 🙂 The […]

Building an Inexpensive Linux Home NAS System

I, like many other MacBook Pro users, faced the problem of insufficient internal memory. To be more precise, the rMBP I used daily was equipped with an SSD of only 256GB, which, of course, was not enough for a long time. And when I started recording videos during my flights, the situation only got worse. The volume of filmed materials after such flights […]
