I have been living in Scotland for several years now. Recently, I published a series of articles on my Facebook about the pros and cons of living here. The articles resonated greatly with my friends, so I thought this might interest a broader IT community. Therefore, I’m posting them on Habrahabr for all interested parties. I view things from a 'programmer's' perspective […]
Over the past three years, I have taken three extensive multi-month courses and several shorter ones. I spent over 300,000 ₽ on them and failed to achieve my goals. It seems I've made enough mistakes to draw conclusions and do everything right in the last course. Also, I decided to write a note about it. Here’s a list of courses […]
While large Enterprises are busy building layered defenses against potential internal threats and hackers, smaller companies remain troubled by phishing and spam emails. If Marty McFly had known that by 2015 (and certainly by 2020) people wouldn't invent hoverboards much less learn to completely eliminate unwanted emails, he would probably be […]
Hello everyone! In my previous article, I promised to talk about running Docker in Docker and the practical aspects of this topic. It’s time to fulfill my promise. An experienced DevOps engineer might argue that for those who need Docker inside Docker, it’s enough just to pass the Docker daemon socket from the host into the container, which is sufficient in 99% of cases. But don’t rush […]
Hello, Habr readers! Have you ever faced a situation where you really wanted to virtually transport yourself to another city, country, or continent? I find myself needing this quite often, so the ability to have my own VPN server that I can set up anywhere in a matter of seconds has been a pressing requirement. In this article, I want to share my project that […]
The release of the LibreELEC 9.2 project, which develops a fork of the OpenELEC distribution for home theater systems, has been announced. The user interface is built on the Kodi media center. Images are prepared for downloading to work with USB drives or SD cards (32- and 64-bit x86, Raspberry Pi 1/2/3, various devices on Rockchip and Amlogic chips). With LibreELEC, you can turn any computer into a media center and work with […]
LibreELEC is a minimal Linux-based operating system that serves as a platform for the Kodi media center. LibreELEC runs on several hardware architectures and can work on both desktops and single-board computers with ARM processors. LibreELEC 9.2.0 improves driver support for webcams, operates on Raspberry Pi 4, and adds additional firmware update support. The release […]
Devuan is a Linux distribution derived from Debian to provide an alternative init software to systemd and alternative dependencies for the functions and libraries offered by systemd. The latest release of the project is Devuan 2.1, which simplifies the choice between SysV init and OpenRC during installation. The distribution no longer provides ARM or virtual machine images, and the option to exclude non-free firmware […]
Gartner's chart for those working in technology is akin to a high fashion exhibition. By looking at it, you can get a preview of the most hyped words of the season and what you'll hear at upcoming conferences. We decoded what lies behind the beautiful words on this chart, so you can speak about it too […]
On November 24, the Slyerm Mega, an advanced intensive course on Kubernetes, concluded. The next Mega will take place in Moscow from May 18-20. The idea behind Slyerm Mega: we look under the hood of the cluster, break down the intricacies of installing and configuring a production-ready cluster (‘the-not-so-easy-way’), and examine the mechanisms for ensuring security and application fault tolerance. Bonus for Mega participants: those who complete both Slyerm Basic and Slyerm Mega receive all […]
A couple of years ago, Kubernetes was already being discussed in the official GitHub blog. Since then, it has become the standard technology for deploying services. Now, Kubernetes manages a significant portion of internal and public services. As our clusters have grown and performance requirements have become more stringent, we have started noticing sporadic delays in some services on Kubernetes that cannot be explained […]
A year and a half after the formation of branch 2.0, the release of the Devuan 2.1 "ASCII" distribution, a fork of Debian GNU/Linux, has been presented, delivered without the system manager systemd. The release continues to use the package base of Debian 9 "Stretch". The transition to the package base of Debian 10 will take place in the release of Devuan 3 "Beowulf", which is currently in development. Live builds and installation iso images have been prepared for download […]
