We are writing protection against DDoS attacks on XDP. Core part

The eXpress Data Path (XDP) technology allows for arbitrary traffic processing on Linux interfaces before packets reach the kernel's network stack. Applications of XDP include DDoS attack protection (CloudFlare), complex filtering, and statistics collection (Netflix). XDP programs are executed by the eBPF virtual machine, which imposes limitations on both their code and the available kernel functions depending on […]

Google is developing a modular build system Soong for Android

Google is advancing the Soong build system, which aims to replace the old Android platform build scripts based on the make utility. Soong proposes the use of simple declarative descriptions of module build rules specified in files with the '.bp' (blueprints) extension. The file format is similar to JSON and closely mirrors the syntax and semantics of Bazel build files. The code is written in Go […]

The Linux kernel undergoes automatic testing: KernelCI

The Linux kernel has one weak spot: poor testing. One of the main signs that changes are on the way is that KernelCI, the automated Linux kernel testing environment, is becoming part of the Linux Foundation project. At a recent Linux Kernel Plumbers meeting in Lisbon, Portugal, one of the hottest topics was how to improve and automate Linux kernel testing. […]

wc-themegen, a console utility for automatic theme adjustment of Wine

A year ago, I was learning C, mastering GTK, and during that process, I wrote a wrapper for Wine to simplify many tedious setup tasks. Now, I don't have the time or energy to finish the project, but it included a convenient feature for adapting the Wine theme to the current GTK3 theme, which I extracted into a separate console utility. I know there's a 'mimicry' feature in Wine-staging for the GTK theme, […]

Hello Habr. Almost everyone likely has a Raspberry Pi at home, and I dare say many are lying unused. Yet Raspberry is not only valuable but also quite a powerful fanless computer with Linux.

Quora: What can be considered the most amazing thing that computers have made possible? Alan Kay: I am still trying to learn to think better. I believe the answer will be very similar to the response to the question 'what is the most surprising thing that writing (and then the printing press) made possible.' It's not that writing and printing enabled a completely different kind […]

5 Useful Ways to Use Raspberry Pi

Hello, Habr. Raspberry Pi is probably found in almost every home, and I dare say that many might have one lying around unused.

Alan Kay: What can be considered the most amazing thing computers have made possible

So, your team has completed the alpha version of your blockchain, and it’s time to launch the testnet, and then the mainnet. You have a real blockchain with independent participants, a solid economic model, security, you've designed governance, and now it's time to put it all to the test. In an ideal crypto-anarchist world, you deploy the genesis block, the final node code, and the validators themselves […]
