Today we will talk about static routing and cover three topics: what static routing is, how it is configured, and what its alternative is. You see a network topology that includes a computer with the IP address 192.168.1.10, connected via a switch to a gateway, or router. This connection uses the router's f0/0 port with the IP address 192.168.1.1. The second port of this router […]
Image: Pexels For aggregator websites in e-commerce, it is crucial to maintain up-to-date information. Otherwise, their main advantage — the ability to see the most relevant data in one place — disappears. To solve this issue, web scraping techniques must be employed. This involves creating specialized software — a crawler that navigates the required websites from a list, […]

A backdoor (CVE-2019-15107) has been discovered in the Webmin package, which provides tools for remote server management. This backdoor was found in official project builds distributed through Sourceforge and recommended on the main website. The backdoor was present in builds from 1.882 to 1.921 inclusive (the code with the backdoor was absent in the git repository) and allowed remote execution of arbitrary shell commands on the system with root privileges without authentication. For […]
The FESCo committee (Fedora Engineering Steering Committee), responsible for the technical development of the Fedora distribution, has approved the discontinuation of the main repositories for the i686 architecture. It should be noted that the initial consideration of this proposal was postponed to study the possible negative impact of discontinuing the supply of packages for i686 on local module builds. This decision complements the already implemented decision in the rawhide branch to stop the creation of bootable […]
Today, many IT companies are facing the challenge of finding employees in their region. An increasing number of job offers in the labor market are related to the possibility of remote work. Full-time remote work implies that the employer and employee are bound by clear labor obligations: a contract or employment agreement; most often, a defined regulated work schedule, stable salary, vacations and […]
There is a vast amount of information online about creating Wi-Fi access points based on the Raspberry Pi single-board computer. Typically, it is assumed that the native operating system for the 'Pi'—Raspbian—will be used. As an enthusiast of RPM-based systems, I couldn't pass by this little marvel without trying my favorite CentOS on it. This article provides instructions for creating a 5GHz/AC Wi-Fi router […]

Four-week sprints help the team track progress effectively and […]
Today's lesson is an introduction to Cisco routers. Before we dive into the material, I want to congratulate everyone watching my course, as nearly a million people have viewed the 'Day 1' video lesson to date. I thank all the users who contributed to the study of the CCNA video course. Today we will cover three topics: the router as a physical device, a brief […]
Thanks to the open-source Chromium, Microsoft has made its first significant and positive impact on the Google Chrome browser. Reports indicate that this new feature should resolve a long-standing issue with 'Chrome'—its 'greediness' regarding laptop battery consumption. Shawn Pickett from Microsoft stated that media content is cached to disk during download and playback. And this […]
