While developing a solution for a client, two tasks arose that I wanted to solve elegantly using Zabbix's standard functionality. Task 1: Monitoring the current firmware version on Mikrotik routers. This task is easily accomplished by adding an HTTP agent to the template. The agent retrieves the current version from the Mikrotik website, while a trigger compares the current version with the actual one and issues an alert if there's a discrepancy. When […]
According to statistics, the volume of network traffic increases by about 50% each year. This leads to an increase in the load on equipment and, in particular, raises the performance requirements for IDS/IPS. You can purchase expensive specialized hardware, but there’s a cheaper option — implementing one of the open-source systems. Many beginner administrators believe that installing and configuring a free IPS […]
The developers of the LLVM project have expressed their intention to follow the example of other projects and stop using the word "master" to identify the main repository. This change is presented as a demonstration that the LLVM community is inclusive and sensitive to issues that may cause discomfort to certain groups of participants. Instead of "master," it is proposed to choose a neutral alternative, such as "dev," "trunk," "main," or "default." It is noted that […]

I would like to introduce you to a framework called boobstrap, written in POSIX shell, for creating bootable images with GNU/Linux distributions. The framework allows you to complete the entire process in three simple steps: from deploying a system in chroot, creating an initramfs image that includes the system from chroot, to ultimately producing a bootable ISO image. boobstrap includes three utilities mkbootstrap, mkinitramfs […]
