The Claws Mail interface is built using GTK and the code is licensed under the GPL. Key innovations: In the dialogs for moving and copying messages when creating […]
Good afternoon to all habra-users. I constantly read articles on Habré about the development of this or that functionality on the "raspberry". Decided to share my experience here. Background I work for a company that provides cable TV and Internet access. And, as it happens in such companies, I periodically hear complaints about the discrepancy between the tariff plan and the one stated in the contract. Then the user complains [...]

In this post, we will develop a procedure for emergency access to SSH hosts using offline hardware security keys. This is just one of the approaches, and you can adapt it for yourself. We will store the SSH CA for our hosts on a hardware security key. This scheme will work on almost any OpenSSH, including SSH […]
We have already talked in sufficient detail about the main new products of the MWC 2019 exhibition - flagships from famous manufacturers, as well as 5G communication technology. Now let's talk about the strangest and most controversial solutions presented at the exhibition. For the most part, these are unusual smartphones from Chinese manufacturers who have never been afraid to create something non-standard. However, this year some global manufacturers have born […]
LG's mobile division has been going through hard times in recent years, but it doesn't intend to give up so easily. The Korean manufacturer continues to present new smartphones, and at this year’s Mobile World Congress it brought two new flagships: G8 ThinQ and V50 ThinQ 5G. You already see what the trick of the latter is, right? And I immediately wanted [...]
Every year, as part of the Mobile World Congress (MWC), many companies present their new products, and this year Xiaomi was among them for the first time. Interestingly, last year Xiaomi organized its own stand at MWC for the first time, and this year it decided to make a presentation.

Shawn Anastasio, a free software enthusiast who at one time developed his own operating system ShawnOS and was involved in porting Chromium and Qubes OS to the ppc64le architecture, founded the Xfce Classic project, within which he intends to develop forks of components of the Xfce user environment that work without the use of decoration windows on the client side (CSD, client-side decorations), in which the header and frames […]
In fintech, we often have to process quite massive amounts of currency exchange rate data. We get data from different sources, and each of them has their own idea of how to extrapolate the values of the rates for tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the next month, and even the next three years. If someone knew how to predict rates correctly, it would be just right to close the business and […]
