Recently, the Linux version of the free email client BlueMail was released. You might think that yet another email client for Linux is unnecessary, and you would be completely right! Since the source code is not available, your emails could be accessed by countless people—from the developers of the client to some of their associates. So, what makes BlueMail special? No one really knows. What it's built on is also […]

PyTorch, the popular open-source framework for machine learning, has been updated to version 1.3.0 and continues to gain momentum due to its focus on meeting the needs of both researchers and application programmers. Some changes include experimental support for named tensors.

Posted on

If a corporate blog publishes 1-2 articles a month with 1-2 thousand views and only half a dozen likes, it indicates that something is not right. Practice shows that in most cases, blogs can be made both interesting and useful. Perhaps, many opponents of corporate blogs will rush in now, and I agree with them on some points. […]

Posted on

The topic of DevOps and IaC is very popular and is developing rapidly. However, most authors focus solely on the technical issues along the way. I will describe the problems typical for a large company. I don’t have solutions — the issues are generally fatal and lie within the realm of bureaucracy, auditing, and 'soft skills.' Since the title is what it is, Daenerys will be the cat featured in this article, […]

Recommendations for Running Buildah Inside a Container

Posted on

What is the advantage of separating the execution environment of containers into distinct tool components? Specifically, it is that these tools can be combined to protect each other. Many are attracted to the idea of building container OCI images within Kubernetes or a similar system. Suppose we have a CI/CD that continuously builds images; then something like Red Hat OpenShift/Kubernetes could be […]

Password hashing for Unix founders

Posted on

The publicly available dumps of historical slices containing BSD 3 code include the /etc/passwd file with password hashes of the Unix founders. Since the passwords are hashed using the DES method, which poses no challenges for modern computing technology in terms of cracking, enthusiasts have attempted to recover the passwords used by the Unix founders. Nearly all of the founders' passwords were cracked almost […]
