TL;DR: Haiku could become a fantastic desktop operating system with open source code. I truly want this, but there's still a lot of work to be done. I've been exploring Haiku for two days now, a surprisingly good operating system. It's the third day, and I'm enjoying this OS so much that I constantly think about how to make it a daily operating system. In terms of […]
As part of the Advanced Protection program, Google's developers have implemented a reliable system to protect user accounts from targeted attacks. This program is continuously evolving, offering users new tools to safeguard their Google accounts against various types of attacks. Participants in the Advanced Protection program who have enabled synchronization in Chrome will soon automatically receive enhanced protection against […]
Developers from 9elements have ported CoreBoot for the Supermicro X11SSH-TF server motherboard. The changes have already been integrated into the main CoreBoot codebase and will be part of the next significant release. The Supermicro X11SSH-TF has become the first modern server motherboard with an Intel Xeon processor that can be used with CoreBoot. The board supports Xeon processors (E3-1200V6 Kabylake-S or E3-1200V5 Skylake-S) and can […]

After the functionality of the Qt 5.14 branch is finalized, development will focus on preparing for the release of Qt 6, which is expected by the end of 2020. Qt 6 will evolve with an eye on […]
In June and July, nearly twenty companies approached us inquiring about the capabilities of virtual GPUs. One of the major subsidiaries of Sberbank is already using Cloud4Y's 'Graphics', but overall, the service isn't particularly popular. So, this level of interest has pleased us greatly. Noticing the rising interest in the technology, we decided to provide a bit more detail about vGPU. The 'data lakes' obtained from scientific […]
Researchers from Bitdefender have identified a new vulnerability (CVE-2019-1125) in the speculative execution mechanism of modern CPUs, named SWAPGS, corresponding to the processor instruction that causes the problem. The vulnerability allows a non-privileged attacker to determine the contents of kernel memory areas or running virtual machines. The issue has been confirmed in Intel processors (x86_64) and partially affects AMD processors, for which the main vector does not manifest […]
Red Hat has released the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 distribution. Installation images for RHEL 7.7 are available for download only to registered users of the Red Hat Customer Portal and are designed for x86_64, IBM POWER7+, POWER8 (big endian and little endian), and IBM System z architectures. The source code for the packages can be downloaded from the CentOS project's Git repository. The RHEL 7.x branch is being supported in parallel […]
Hello everyone. We are sharing the translation of the final part of an article prepared specifically for students of the 'Data Engineer' course. The first part can be found here. Apache Beam and DataFlow for real-time pipelines Setting up Google Cloud Note: To run the pipeline and publish the custom log data, I used Google Cloud Shell, as I encountered issues running the pipeline in Python […]
Today, Swiss startup DeepCode, which utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate code analysis, announced that it has secured $4 million in funding from venture funds Earlybird, 3VC, and Btov Partners. The company plans to use these funds to implement support for new programming languages in its service, as well as for marketing the product on the global IT market. Code analysis […]
Following the highly anticipated beta release of Haiku R1 at the end of last year, the developers of the open-source operating system have finally moved on to optimizing its performance. The focus is primarily on accelerating overall system performance. Now that issues of general instability and kernel crashes have been resolved, the authors have begun working on improving the speed of various internal components. In particular, […]
A new stable release of the interface for simplifying network parameter configuration — NetworkManager 1.20 has been published. Plugins for VPN support, including OpenConnect, PPTP, OpenVPN, and OpenSWAN, are being developed within their own cycles. Key innovations in NetworkManager 1.20: Support for wireless mesh networks has been added, where each node is connected through neighboring nodes; deprecated components have been cleaned up, including the removal of the libnm-glib library, […]
The issue of handling out-of-memory scenarios in Linux has been raised in the kernel developers' mailing list: It is a known problem that has plagued many users for years and can be reproduced in under a few minutes on the latest Linux kernel version 5.2.6. All kernel parameters are set to their default values. Steps: Boot with the parameter "mem=4G". Then, turn off […]
