Why 17, you might ask? Because my journey in IT began exactly 17 years ago. For the last decade, I have been working at 'Infosystems Jet', where my professional development took place. But today I will not talk about the twists and turns of corporate life, but rather about self-education and the literature that has helped me throughout these years. The first necessity for conscious self-organization […]
In early November, we announced the open beta of the Miro platform, held a conference on platform development with JetBrains, Stripe, and other companies (videos of all presentations), and launched an online competition for developers to create plugins. The competition has ended! Engineers from Poland, Switzerland, Slovakia, Belarus, Lithuania, Russia, and other countries participated. We are ready to announce the winners! 1 […]
Recently, Google introduced the ability to send URLs to other devices connected through the Chrome browser and a shared account. Now, there is an alternative. In the Chrome Canary build version 80.0.3987.0, a new flag called 'Allow page sharing via QR code' has been added. Enabling it allows the conversion of any web page address into such a code format, which can then be scanned […]

We continue to deepen our knowledge of salary trends in Russia. As the end of 2019 approaches, it's time for the annual report on the salaries offered by employers in their job postings on 'Moy Krug'. As in the previous year, in this report we will compare the salaries offered by employers with those from the salary calculator, which we obtain […]
Introduction When developing under Linux, there are tasks related to creating interactive scripts that execute when the system starts or shuts down. This was straightforward in System V, but systemd makes it a bit more complex. However, it has its own timers. What are targets? It is often stated that targets serve as an analogy to runlevels in System V init. I fundamentally disagree. There are more of them and they can […]
The W3C consortium has announced that WebAssembly technology has been given recommended standard status. WebAssembly provides a browser-independent universal low-level intermediate code for executing applications compiled from various programming languages. WebAssembly is positioned as a more promising and portable technology for creating high-performance web applications across browsers. WebAssembly can be used for tasks that require high performance, such as video encoding and audio processing, […]
An attack technique (CVE-2019-14899) has been published, allowing packets in TCP connections passed through VPN tunnels to be spoofed, altered, or substituted. The issue affects Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Android, macOS, iOS, and other Unix-like systems. Linux supports the rp_filter (reverse path filtering) mechanism for IPv4, the activation of which in 'Strict' mode neutralizes this issue. This method allows packet substitution at the TCP connection level, occurring within encrypted […]
A major update of the digital audio workstation Reaper 6 has been released, developed by Cockos, currently consisting of one person.

Usually, we write in our blogs about the features of various complex technologies or share insights about what we are working on ourselves. But today we want to offer you something special. In the summer of 2019, renowned science fiction author Sergey Zhigarev wrote two stories for the literary project Selectel and RBC, but only one made it to the final edit. The second one […]
How often do we see 'news from the future' in the media, proudly announcing the planned successes of science for the benefit of the country's economy? Often, in the comments to such announcements and reports, we can find skepticism and calls to write only about events that have already occurred. We have little faith in bright and inspiring plans. Well, the domestic information space is not unique in this kind of publication. […]
In this article, we will try our hand at reverse engineering, so to speak. We will take a peek under the hood of each web server with our dirty hands, exploiting them in ways no one ever would. This test is a measurement of a spherical horse in a vacuum, nothing more than the data gathered, and now we don't know what to do with it. Methodology in […]
