Applied Technologies on the Ruins of Blockchain Fever or About the Practical Benefits of Resource Distribution

In recent years, news feeds have been inundated with reports of newly emerging distributed computing networks that seem to appear out of nowhere, attempting to solve a variety of tasks — making cities smart, saving the world from copyright violators, or on the contrary, secretly transmitting information or resources, escaping from government control in one sphere or another. Regardless of the area, all […]

Cloud security monitoring

Transferring data and applications to the cloud presents a new challenge for corporate SOCs, which are not always prepared to monitor external infrastructure. According to NetSkope, the average enterprise (presumably still in the U.S.) uses 1,246 different cloud services, which is 22% more than last year. 1,246 cloud services!!! 175 of them are related to HR services, 170 are connected to marketing, 110 […]

We all need helpdesk

Conceiving the development of a cloud helpdesk system in 2018 seemed to be an unwise idea at first glance — on the surface, the market exists, there are domestic and foreign solutions, and plenty of custom systems as well. To think of developing a new system when you already have a large CRM development and over 6,000 'live' and active clients who constantly need something — that’s a significant resource […]

How we delved into the energy efficiency of the machine room

I dedicate this post to those individuals who lied on their certificates, which almost led us to install Bengal lights in our halls. The story is more than four years old, but I publish it now because the NDA has expired. Back then, we realized that we had nearly completely loaded the data center (which we rent out), and its energy efficiency didn't seem to improve much. Previously, the hypothesis […]

Mozilla will not transfer all WebExtensions API restrictions from the new Chrome manifest.

Mozilla has announced that despite using an add-on system based on the WebExtensions API in Firefox, developers do not intend to fully adhere to the upcoming third edition of the Chrome add-ons manifest. In particular, Firefox will continue to support the blocking mode of the webRequest API, which allows for changing incoming content on the fly and is sought after in ad blockers and content filtering systems. The main […]

Release of the integrated suite of internet applications SeaMonkey 2.49.5

More than a year after the last update, a new release of the SeaMonkey internet application suite 2.49.5 has been presented, which combines a set of web applications developed under the auspices of the Mozilla project into one product: a web browser, an email client, an RSS/Atom news feed aggregator system, and a WYSIWYG HTML page editor Composer (Chatzilla, DOM Inspector, and Lightning are no longer included in the basic set).

Renowned designers developed a completely new interface that allows users to accomplish familiar tasks much faster, while the threshold […]

Is it worth it?

In 1942, Albert Camus wrote a book called "The Myth of Sisyphus." It addresses a truly important philosophical problem: Given the circumstances of our existence, should we simply commit suicide? Here's the answer: First, Camus describes those moments in our lives when our perceptions of the world suddenly stop working, when all our efforts seem […]
