This further explores the topic of the "Golden Ratio" in economics—what is it? Let’s approach the issue of preferred resource allocation from a perspective that hasn’t been discussed yet. We will take the simplest model of event generation: flipping a coin and the probability of getting heads or tails. It is postulated that: The outcome of heads or tails is equally likely with each individual flip – 50 […]

The red arrow in the corner of the interface was blinking, signaling a completed move. "Damn it!" To become a displaced person for the second time in a year is quite too much. It’s just bad luck. However, there’s nothing to be done: it was time to […]
Hello, Habr! Previously, I complained about life in the Infrastructure as Code paradigm and offered no solutions for the situation. Today, I'm back to share which approaches and practices can help pull us out of the abyss of despair and steer the situation in the right direction.

This article will compare backup solutions, but first, it’s important to understand how quickly and efficiently they handle data recovery from backups. For the sake of comparison, we will consider restoration from a full backup, especially since this mode is supported by all candidates.

Every third speaker at DUMP said during selection: "Wow, you all take this very seriously!" or "What, can we have several runs?" Maybe, maybe… Hardcore and practice, practice and hardcore — that’s what the mid-levels expect when they come to DUMPs. The program committee scrutinizes each application through three selection stages. On November 8 in Kazan, Alexander Orlov (Stratoplan) will speak, […]

This is a simple graphical interface for Git, written in bash, using technologies like yad, lxterminal*, and leafpad*. It is based on the KISS principle, so it fundamentally does not provide complex and advanced features. Its task is to speed up typical Git operations: commit, add, status, pull, and push. For more complex functions, there is a 'Terminal' button that allows you to use all conceivable and inconceivable capabilities […]
