Is a local network necessary for a small enterprise? Is there a need to spend significant funds on purchasing computer equipment, paying the servicing staff, and licensing software? The author has communicated with various categories of (mostly young) owners and managers of small companies (mainly LLCs). Their opinions varied widely, ranging from those who believe that a local computing […]
It so happened that a (relatively) large company had many remote offices, each with a considerable number of users. All offices are connected in one network with a common domain, and each office was defined in Active Directory (hereafter AD) as an Organization Unit (OU), where users were created. It was necessary to provide users with the ability to quickly and easily […]
This article will discuss the working principle of Kata Containers, and there will also be a practical section on connecting them to Docker. General issues with Docker and their solutions have already been covered, and today I will briefly describe the implementation from Kata Containers. Kata Containers are a secure container runtime based on lightweight virtual machines. Working with them […]
In this post, we will look at storing RPM artifacts using a simple script with inotify + createrepo. The artifacts are uploaded via WebDAV using Apache HTTPD. The reasons for using Apache HTTPD will be discussed later in the post. Thus, the solution must meet the following requirements for organizing an RPM repository: Free Immediate availability of the package in the repository a few seconds after uploading to the storage […]
Sooner or later, many encounter the need to make bulk edits to table records. I've already discussed how to do this effectively and how to avoid pitfalls. Today, I will touch upon the second aspect of bulk updates — the triggers that come into play. For instance, if there's a troublesome ON UPDATE trigger attached to the table where you need to make adjustments, it carries all the changes to […]
A few months ago, the number of extensions for the new Microsoft Edge was 162. Now, that number has grown to approximately 1200. While it's still a bit behind the metrics for Chrome and Firefox, the mere fact itself is commendable. Additionally, the 'blue' browser supports working with Chrome extensions, so there shouldn't be any significant issues. It's worth noting that upon launch […]
A release of the Porteus Kiosk 5.0.0 distribution, based on Gentoo and designed for equipping standalone internet kiosks, demo stands, and self-service terminals, has been prepared. The bootable image of the distribution occupies 104 MB. The base build includes only the minimal set of components necessary to run a web browser (both Firefox and Chrome are supported), which is stripped down in its capabilities to prevent unwanted activity in the system (for instance, it does not […]
New releases of the Linux From Scratch 9.1 (LFS) and Beyond Linux From Scratch 9.1 (BLFS) guides have been introduced, along with the LFS and BLFS editions featuring the system manager systemd. Linux From Scratch provides instructions on building a basic Linux system from scratch using only the source texts of the necessary software. Beyond Linux From Scratch complements the LFS instructions with information on building […]
After eight months of development, the earlyoom 1.4 background process has been released, which periodically checks the amount of available memory (MemAvailable, SwapFree) and attempts to respond early to memory shortages. The project's code is written in C and is distributed under the MIT license. If the amount of available memory falls below a specified threshold, earlyoom will forcibly terminate processes (via SIGTERM or SIGKILL) […]

In this article, I want to take a detailed look at the process of publishing a Java artifact from scratch via GitHub Actions to the Sonatype Maven Central Repository using Gradle. I decided to write this article due to the lack of a proper tutorial in one place. All the information had to be pieced together from various sources, many of which weren’t very up to date. If you're interested, welcome under the cut. […]
On September 18 of last year, Belarusians were pleased by an unexpected decree No. 350. Amid various bureaucratic details, there was a particularly interesting paragraph: 6. Internet service providers are required to: … implement, starting January 1, 2020, when providing services for hosting information systems and (or) information resources on the Internet, addressing by a technology that provides full support for internet protocols versions 4 and 6 by network devices; […]
