U.S. provider associations opposed the centralization in implementing DNS-over-HTTPS

Posted on

The trade associations NCTA, CTIA, and USTelecom, representing the interests of internet providers, have approached the U.S. Congress to draw attention to the issues with the implementation of DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and request detailed information from Google regarding its current and future plans for integrating DoH into its products, as well as securing a commitment not to enable centralized processing by default […]

GNOME is adapted for management through systemd

Posted on

Benjamin Berg, one of the engineers at Red Hat working on GNOME development, summarized the results of the transition of GNOME to session management solely with systemd, without using the gnome-session process. Systemd-logind has long been used for managing GNOME logins, tracking session states tied to users, managing session IDs, and handling switching between active sessions […]

Where the Fairytale Leads

Posted on

September is coming to an end, and with it, the calendar of "adventures" of the Fairy Tale — a series of tasks that develop at the intersection of the real world and other, virtually-imagined ones. Below you will find the second part of my personal impressions related to "completing" these "quests". The beginning of the "adventures" (events from September 1 to 8) and a brief introduction are described here. The concept is globally outlined here. The fairy tale continues on September 9. […]

The Time of Firsts. A story of how we implemented Scratch as a programming language for robots

Posted on

Looking at the current diversity of educational robotics, it's heartening that children have access to a huge variety of kits and ready-made products, and that the entry barrier for programming basics has been lowered significantly (even down to kindergarten). There is a growing trend toward initially engaging with modular and block programming, followed by a transition to more advanced languages. However, this situation wasn't always the case. In 2009-2010, Russia started to massively […]

The Future of Li-Fi: Polariton, Exciton, Photon, and a Touch of Tungsten Disulfide

Posted on

For many years, scientists from around the world have been engaged in two activities — inventing and improving. Sometimes, it’s unclear which of these is more challenging. Take, for example, ordinary LEDs, which seem so simple and common that we hardly pay them any attention. But if you add a bit of excitons, a pinch of polaritons, and tungsten disulfide to […]

Creating a stateful skill for Alice using serverless functions of Yandex.Cloud and Python

Posted on

Let's start with the news. Yesterday, Yandex Cloud announced the launch of its serverless computing service, Yandex Cloud Functions. This means you only write the code for your service (such as a web application or chatbot), and the Cloud itself creates and manages the virtual machines where it runs, even replicating them if the load increases. You don't have to think about it at all; it's very convenient. And you only pay for the time […]

Digital Workspace architecture on the Citrix Cloud platform

Posted on

Introduction This article describes the capabilities and architectural features of the Citrix Cloud platform and the Citrix Workspace service set. These solutions are central elements and the foundation for implementing the digital workspace concept from Citrix. In this article, I attempted to understand and articulate the cause-and-effect relationships between cloud platforms, services, and Citrix subscriptions, the description of which is in the public […]

The plan to discontinue support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 in Chrome

Posted on

Similar to Firefox, Chrome plans to soon halt support for the TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 protocols, which are being classified as obsolete and not recommended by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) for use. Support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 will be disabled in Chrome 81, scheduled for March 17, 2020. According to Google, […]

Updates for Ruby 2.6.5, 2.5.7, and 2.4.8 addressing vulnerabilities.

Posted on

Corrective releases for the Ruby programming language 2.6.5, 2.5.7, and 2.4.8 have been issued, addressing four vulnerabilities. The most critical vulnerability (CVE-2019-16255) is in the standard Shell library (lib/shell.rb), which allows for code injection. If user-provided data is processed as the first argument in the Shell#[] or Shell#test methods used to check for file presence, an attacker could invoke arbitrary Ruby methods. Other […]

GNOME has transitioned to using systemd for session management

Posted on

Starting with version 3.34, GNOME has fully transitioned to the systemd user session toolkit. This change is completely transparent to both users and developers (XDG-autostart is supported) — apparently, that’s why it went unnoticed on LOR. Previously, only DBUS-activated sessions were launched using user sessions, while everything else was handled by gnome-session. Now this unnecessary layer has finally been removed. Interestingly, […]
