Happy belated holidays to everyone. This topic is a much better version of what I wrote back in 2016 here. Overall, the principle of operation hasn't changed, except that now it works instantly without delays. We load the script into Mikrotik, change BotID and ChatID to our own, and create a schedule for it. We set the "Start Time" parameter to […]
This implementation was inspired by Alexander Koryukin GeXoGeN with his publication "Remote computer activation for free, without SMS and clouds, using Mikrotik." And a comment in one of Kirill Kazakov's VK groups: Indeed, it’s not secure at all. I would rather write a Telegram bot that only accepts commands from my account for activation. I decided to write such a […]
A new version of the smartmontools 7.1 package is out, comprising the smartctl and smartd applications for monitoring and controlling (S)ATA, SCSI/SAS, and NVMe drives that support SMART technology. It is compatible with Linux, FreeBSD, Darwin (macOS), Windows, QNX, OS/2, Solaris, NetBSD, and OpenBSD. Key improvements: When outputting information via “smartctl -i,” extended support for ATA ACS-4 and ACS-5 commands has been added; in smartd […]
The release of the Q4OS 3.10 distribution, based on the Debian package base and shipped with KDE Plasma 5 and Trinity desktops, is now available. The distribution is positioned as resource-friendly and offers a classic desktop layout. The size of the installation image is 679 MB (x86_64, i386). It includes several in-house developed applications, including ‘Desktop profiler’ for quick installation of thematic sets […]
On December 30, 2019, the Trinity Desktop Environment project, a fork of the KDE 3.5 branch, was released. The project continues to develop the paradigm of a traditional desktop environment based on Qt. The project also supports the (T)Qt3 library, as Qt is no longer supported by the official developer. The environment can be installed and used alongside new versions of KDE. A brief list of changes: Improved support for the XDG standard […]
I present a new story about how a developer created a chatbot of himself and what came of it. You can download the PDF version here. I had a friend. The only friend. You can’t have such friends anymore. They only appear in youth. We studied together in school, in parallel classes, but started communicating when we realized that we enrolled […]
Many have probably tried to find a general-purpose tree construction, but the search engine could only find binary ones… Binary search trees, binary tree traversal, and many other algorithms. Yes, indeed, general-purpose trees are not used anywhere, traversal is slow, and the use cases are few. So, I posed this question and will now explain how a general-purpose tree is constructed. So, ideally, the structure of a general-purpose tree […]
In the 75th episode, Sergey Pavlovich continues the conversation with Oleg Shestakov, founder and co-owner of Rush-analytics.ru and Rush-agency.ru. Why is "black" pharma? Sergey Pavlovich (SP): – Why is pharma (note – pharmaceuticals) "black"? I know that Interpol is fighting it really hard. I thought it was some kind of "gray"—well, generic, after all, it's in India. Oleg Shestakov (hereinafter […]
In this article, I will set up a development environment for the game "Bylyny" and break the game down into parts suitable for use in OpenFaaS. I will perform all operations on Linux, and I will deploy Kubernetes in minikube using VirtualBox. My workstation has 2 CPU cores and 12GB of RAM; I will use […] as the system disk.
Hello again! I found this article written back in May 2019. This is a continuation of a series of articles about WAVE and JPEG. Here is the first one. This publication will include information about the image encoding algorithm and the format itself. A pinch of history, a tablespoon of Wikipedia: JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is one of the popular […]
The release version of Microsoft Edge based on the Chromium engine will be available on January 15. It will be accessible through the Update Center and will replace the classic browser. Technically, it will be similar to Google Chrome and other 'Chrome-based' browsers. All of this is expected to allow the company to significantly expand its market share for this solution. Given that the new Microsoft Edge […]
The article consists of two parts: A brief overview of some architectures of networks for object detection in images and image segmentation with the most understandable resources linked for my reference. I tried to choose video explanations, preferably in Russian. The second part attempts to understand the direction of development of neural network architectures. And technologies based on them. Figure 1 – Understanding […]
