In California, American Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry Carey Mullis has passed away at the age of 74. According to his wife, he died on August 7. The cause was heart and respiratory failure due to pneumonia. James Watson—the discoverer of the DNA molecule—will explain the contribution he made to biochemistry and why he received the Nobel Prize in this excerpt from […]
All an attacker needs is time and motivation to gain access to your network. But our job is to prevent that from happening or at least make it as difficult as possible. We need to start by identifying the weaknesses in Active Directory (AD) that an attacker could exploit to gain access […]
Google will add a new feature to its assistant that will allow users to assign reminders to other users if they are part of a trusted user group in Assistant. This feature is primarily intended for families—it will work with the Family Group feature—so for example, a father can send reminders to his children or spouse, and that reminder will appear […]
Currently, Microsoft is testing the Edge browser based on Chromium as part of its insider program. New features are added almost daily, which should ultimately make the browser fully functional. One of Microsoft's main focuses is the widely popular dark mode. They want to extend it to the entire browser, not just to individual pages. And […]
The PHP language developers have proposed creating a new dialect, P++, which will help elevate PHP to a new level. Currently, PHP's development is hampered by the need to maintain compatibility with existing web project codebases, which keeps developers within limited frameworks. As a solution, it is suggested to start developing a new PHP dialect—P++—in parallel, with its development being carried out […]
Hello everyone. Today, we share with you the final part of the article "Testing Infrastructure as Code with Pulumi," a translation prepared specifically for the students of the "DevOps Practices and Tools" course. Deployment Testing The tested style is a powerful approach that allows us to conduct white-box testing to examine the inner workings of our infrastructure code. However, it somewhat limits what can be done […]
Hello, Habr! I present to you the translation of the article "Setting up NextCloud and ONLYOFFICE on a single server with Docker." It’s difficult to underestimate the benefits of online office application suites like Google Docs and cloud storage for tech-oriented individuals. These technologies have become so widespread that even Microsoft, which has long dominated the office applications market, […]
By analyzing website statistics, we gain insights into what is happening with it. We compare the results with other knowledge about the product or service to enhance our experience. Once the initial analysis is complete, the information is contemplated, and conclusions are drawn, the next phase begins. Ideas arise: what if we look at the data from a different angle? This […]
The capacity of hard drives continues to increase, but growth rates have steadily declined in recent years. For instance, it took the industry only two years to release the first 4 TB drive after the 2 TB HDDs hit the market; it took three years to reach the 8 TB mark, and it was only after a lengthy period that the capacity of 3.5-inch hard drives was able to double again […]
A series of vulnerabilities (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) in Ghostscript, a toolkit for processing, converting, and generating documents in PostScript and PDF formats, continues. Like previous vulnerabilities, the new issue (CVE-2019-10216) allows bypassing the isolation mode '-dSAFER' when processing specially crafted documents (through manipulation with '.buildfont1') and gaining access to the file system contents, which can be exploited […]
Oracle has announced its efforts to port DTrace-related changes upstream and plans to implement dynamic debugging technology DTrace over the standard Linux kernel infrastructure, specifically using subsystems like eBPF. Initially, the main issue with using DTrace on Linux was licensing incompatibility, but in 2018, Oracle relicensed the code […]
The FreeBSD developers announced the plan to remove GCC 4.2.1 from the source code of the FreeBSD base system. GCC components will be removed by the time the FreeBSD 13 branch is created, which will include only the Clang compiler. GCC can still be installed from the ports, where GCC 9, 7, and 8 are available, as well as already deprecated releases of GCC […]
