For Linux 5.4, there is a driver for the Microsoft exFAT file system. However, it is based on an old version of Samsung's code. Meanwhile, developers from the South Korean company are creating a more modern version that may replace the existing driver in a future Linux 5.6 build. According to current information, the new code expects more metadata operations and includes fixes for several bugs. For now, it […]
The first version of the data storage server with protocol access has been released, designed to address the issue of a large number of small files in file systems, including cluster setups. Some features include: multithreading; multi-server capabilities providing fault tolerance and load balancing; maximum transparency for users and developers; supported HTTP methods: GET, HEAD, PUT, and DELETE; management of reading and writing behavior through client-side […]

"The lifespan" of technology has decreased—smartphones can be replaced every year. However, there is still equipment that operates for decades and will likely continue to do so for many years. One such system is the Japanese FACOM 128B, which was put into service in 1958. Photo - Daderot - PD / In the photo: the series FACOM 128B - FACOM 201A […]
Richard WM Jones, the author of libguestfs and an employee at Red Hat, introduced a new build utility called Goals, aimed at addressing the shortcomings and issues in the make utility while maintaining overall simplicity and clarity of scripts. The make utility was designed in 1976 and has several conceptual flaws, which Goals aims to rectify without altering the general concept. The original […]
Dear community, this article will focus on the efficient storage and retrieval of hundreds of millions of small files. At this stage, a final solution for POSIX-compatible file systems with full support for locks, including clustered ones, is being proposed, seemingly even without any workarounds. Thus, for this purpose, I wrote my own specialized server. During the implementation of this task […]
This article falls under the category of "marginal notes." TL:DR: http2_max_field_size 8k; it will save everyone! In one of my projects, after changing some internal backend logic, I started observing a strange response_code in the logs, namely — 0. In the logs, it looks something like this: { "timestamp": "2020-01-17T08:41:51+00:00", "remote_addr": "zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz", "request_time": 0, "upstream_response_time": "", "upstream_header_time": "", "http_accept_language": "-language", "response_status": 0, "request": "", "host": […]
Despite the emergence of cheap VPS, traditional web hosting is not going away. Let's try to figure out the differences between the two approaches to hosting websites and which one is better. On the website of every self-respecting provider, there will surely be a comparison of traditional web hosting with virtual servers. Authors of articles note the similarity of VPS to physical machines and draw parallels between them and […]
Version 0.3 of the vosk library for local continuous speech recognition has been released, supporting the Russian language. An APK package has been prepared for the Android platform, and for Linux, the Python library can be used (example usage), with performance sufficient for operation on Raspberry Pi boards. The library operates on an enhanced Kaldi engine. The language model is only 50MB and works more accurately than DeepSpeech (which has a model size of over 1GB). Supported […]
The first release of wZD 1.0.0 is available — a server for efficiently storing a large number of files in a compact form, which externally resembles a regular WebDAV server. It uses a modified version of BoltDB for storage. The project's code is written in Go and is distributed under the BSD license. The server significantly reduces the number of small files on regular or clustered file systems, with full support for […]
We decided to study which ICOs have raised the most funds and what has happened to them currently. The top three leaders are EOS, the Telegram Open Network, and UNUS SED LEO, significantly outpacing the others. Moreover, these are the only projects that have raised over a billion in ICO. EOS is a blockchain platform for decentralized applications and business. The team […]
As the saying goes, there are two types of admins: those who haven't done a backup yet, and those who already have. So, let's get to work and not associate ourselves with these types. It all started on a fine day when my hard drive failed […]
