We continue the conversation about nuances and recommended best practices. Is a backup channel necessary, and what should it be like? Introduction Until you start working remotely seriously and for a long time, you don't consider many things. For example, how to ensure quick system recovery. Where to get a computer to replace a broken one if you need to connect to work not in a day, but right away […]
What do Samsung, Huawei, and Apple have in common, aside from producing mobile devices? All these companies are involved in the development and production of their own mobile processors. There are other smartphone manufacturers also producing chips for mobile devices, but their volumes are significantly smaller. As blogger Digital Chat Station has discovered, the company vivo is working on creating its own chipsets. The blogger […]
The company LLC "RusBITech-Astra" has released version 2.12.29 of the Astra Linux Common Edition distribution, built on the Debian GNU/Linux package base and supplied with its proprietary Fly desktop (interactive demo), which uses the Qt library. ISO images for download are currently not available, but a binary repository and source package texts are provided.

The UBports project, which has taken over the development of the Ubuntu Touch mobile platform after Canonical withdrew from it, has released the OTA-12 firmware update (over-the-air) for all officially supported smartphones and tablets that were equipped with the Ubuntu-based firmware. The update has been created for the OnePlus One, Fairphone 2, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7 2013, Meizu […]
The release of the functional programming language Erlang 23 has taken place, aimed at developing distributed fault-tolerant applications that provide parallel processing of requests in real time. The language has found use in areas such as telecommunications, banking systems, e-commerce, computer telephony, and instant messaging. Simultaneously, the OTP 23 (Open Telecom Platform) release was issued — a companion set of libraries and components for […]
Before a feature goes live, in our time of complex orchestrators and CI/CD, it has to go through a long journey from commit to testing and delivery. In the past, you could just throw new files via FTP (which no one really does anymore, right?), and the deployment process would take seconds. Now, however, you need to create a merge request and wait a significant amount of time while the feature […]
Not long ago, I faced a rather unconventional task of setting up routing for MetalLB. All would be fine since usually, no additional actions are required for MetalLB, but in our case, there is quite a large cluster with a rather simple network configuration. In this article, I will explain how to configure source-based and policy-based routing for your cluster's external network. I […]
Bitdefender Labs, a software security research company, has revealed details about a new malware targeting Android devices. According to experts, it behaves somewhat differently than most common threats, as it does not attack all devices. Instead, the virus selects users from whom it can extract the most useful data. The malware developers have restricted it from attacking users in certain […]
Micron has introduced two new series of M.2 solid-state drives with a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface: Micron 2210 and Micron 2300. These new products are positioned as affordable storage devices for consumer laptops and desktops. The more budget-friendly Micron 2210 series is built on 3D QLC NAND memory chips, which allow storage of four bits of information in one […]
Five vulnerabilities have been fixed in FreeBSD, including issues that could potentially lead to data overwriting at the kernel level when certain network packets are sent, or could allow a local user to escalate their privileges. The vulnerabilities have been patched in updates 12.1-RELEASE-p5 and 11.3-RELEASE-p9. The most critical vulnerability (CVE-2020-7454) was caused by a lack of proper packet size checking in the libalias library when parsing protocol-specific […]
After two years of development, the first major release of Deno 1.0 has been unveiled, a platform for executing applications in isolation using JavaScript and TypeScript, which can be used for creating server-side handlers. The platform is being developed by Ryan Dahl, the creator of Node.js. Like Node.js, Deno uses the V8 JavaScript engine, which is also used in Chromium-based browsers. […]
Automating web application testing with Selenium is a common solution among test developers, and C# is one of the most popular programming languages, so the combination of these tools is not surprising. For development using these technologies, popular proprietary software from Microsoft for Windows is often employed; however, I was curious to learn about which free alternatives could be used without straying from the […]
