In the past, the Edge browser tried to compete with Chrome, but after Microsoft's joining the Chromium community, Google's browser may receive additional enhancements, making it even more appealing to Windows users. Sources report that the next major update to Windows 10 will improve Chrome's integration with the notification center. Currently, the notification center in Windows 10 shows […]
The transition from silicon to wide-bandgap semiconductors (gallium nitride, silicon carbide, and others) significantly boosts operating frequencies and enhances the efficiency of solutions. Therefore, one of the promising application areas for wide-bandgap chips and transistors is communications and radar. Electronics based on GaN solutions provide power increases and extended radar range, which have been quickly utilized […]
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University has proposed a set of patches for discussion among Linux kernel developers, introducing the Popcorn (Distributed Thread Execution) system for distributed thread execution. This system allows applications to run across multiple computers with seamless migration of threads between hosts. Using Popcorn, applications can start on one host and be moved to another without interrupting their operation. […]
The release of Elementary OS 5.1.4 has been announced, positioned as a fast, open, and privacy-respecting alternative to Windows and macOS. The project's main focus is on high-quality design aimed at creating a user-friendly system that consumes minimal resources and offers fast boot times. Users are provided with the Pantheon desktop environment. Bootable ISO images (1.48 GB) are available for download […]
This is the transcript of the presentation at DevopsConf 2019-10-01 and SPbLUG 2019-09-25. It tells the story of a project that used a custom configuration management system and why the migration to Ansible took 18 months. Day No -XXX: Before the beginning Initially, the infrastructure consisted of several standalone hosts managed by Hyper-V. Creating a virtual machine required numerous steps: putting the disks in the right […]
Today, for most companies and organizations, data is one of their strategic assets. With the expansion of analytics capabilities, the value of the data collected and accumulated by companies is continually increasing. There is often talk of the explosive, exponential growth of the volumes of corporate data generated. It is noted that 90% of all data has been created in the last two years. The growth of data volumes is accompanied by an increase in their […]
The developers of the mobile platform LineageOS, which succeeded CyanogenMod, warned of discovering traces of a breach in the project's infrastructure. It was noted that at 6 AM (MSK) on May 3, the attacker managed to gain access to the main server of the centralized configuration management system SaltStack by exploiting an unpatched vulnerability. Currently, the incident is under investigation, and details are not yet available. It is only reported that the attack did not […]
Hello everyone. We are developing a product for analyzing offline traffic. The project includes a task related to the statistical analysis of visitor movement paths across areas. As part of this task, users can query the system in the following ways: how many visitors moved from area 'A' to area 'B'; how many visitors moved from area 'A' to area 'B' through area 'C', and so on.
Before I begin, I need to provide a link to the previous article for context. In this article, I would like to discuss the layer responsible for file storage and how anyone can utilize it. Storacle is an independent library, with no direct connection to music. It allows for the storage of any files. In the previous article, I...
I once set out to write an application to curate music for myself to listen to at home, outdoors, during workouts, etc. I wanted it to run seamlessly with minimal interaction from my side. I devised an architecture, sketched a prototype, and ultimately encountered one "minor issue." I was stumped on where to source the actual song files. By that time, VK had already closed its API, and major music...
According to online sources, Microsoft plans to release only one major update for Windows 10 this year. It is expected that the spring update of the software platform will be significant and will bring new features, while a less significant update package will be released in the fall. If this is the case, the Windows 20H2 update will be quite similar to Windows 10 […]
Since last fall, China has begun producing 'national' 3D NAND flash memory. These are 64-layer chips from the company YMTC. This product immediately attracted the interest of Chinese SSD controller developers. Chinese memory and controllers allow for breaking the monopoly of foreign storage system manufacturers, driven by national security concerns. Recently, one of these products was presented. According to the online resource cnTechPost, the company […]
