Building an Ubuntu image for ARM "from scratch"

When development is just starting, it is often still not clear which packages will go into the target rootfs. In other words, it's too early to grab onto LFS, buildroot or yocto (or something else), but you already need to start. For the rich (I have 4GB eMMC on pilot samples) there is a way to distribute a distribution kit to developers, which will allow you to quickly deliver something that is missing […]

Microsoft becomes a member of the Blender Development Fund

Microsoft has joined the Blender Development Fund program as a gold sponsor, donating at least 3 thousand euros per year for the development of the free 30D modeling system Blender. Microsoft uses Blender to generate synthetic 3D models and images of people that can be used to train machine learning models. It is also noted that having a high-quality free 3D package has proven to be very useful for […]

OpenJDK Moves to Git and GitHub

The OpenJDK project, which develops a reference implementation of the Java language, is working on migration from the Mercurial version control system to Git and the GitHub collaborative development platform. The transition is planned to be completed in September of this year, before the release of JDK 15, in order to develop JDK 16 on the new platform. It is expected that the migration will improve the performance of repository operations, increase storage efficiency, […]

How to reduce the cost of ownership of a SIEM system and why you need Central Log Management (CLM)

Not so long ago, Splunk added another licensing model - infrastructure-based licensing (now there are three of them). They count the number of CPU cores under Splunk servers. Very reminiscent of Elastic Stack licensing, they count the number of Elasticsearch nodes. SIEM systems are traditionally not cheap, and there is usually a choice between paying a lot and a lot. But, if you use ingenuity, you can […]

Apple came up with "headphones" that play music in the ears and in the skull

Online publication AppleInsider has discovered an Apple patent application that indicates that the Californian tech giant is developing a hybrid audio system based on the principle of sound conduction through the bones of the skull. This technology allows you to listen to music without traditional headphones, capturing vibrations at certain points on the skull. It is worth noting that this idea is not new and similar devices have been on the market for quite some time, however, due to their […]
