What happens with the Tele2 internet

Hello everyone, Habr users! The inspiration for writing this article came from the frequent triggers of the Zabbix monitoring system regarding speed drops in the 'Tele2' network. For remote locations where it is impossible to lay fiber optics, we organized port forwarding for the recorder through USB modems, re-flashed for any operators. Here's a simple communication scheme for the equipment: By the way, our organization also uses in the same […]

WiFi Enterprise. FreeRadius + FreeIPA + Ubiquiti

Some examples of corporate WiFi organization have already been described. Here I will outline how I implemented a similar solution and the issues I encountered when connecting on different devices.

Service mesh, 'data plane' vs. 'control plane'

Hello, Habr! I present to you a translation of the article 'Service mesh data plane vs control plane' by Matt Klein. This time, I 'felt compelled and translated' the description of both components of the service mesh, data plane, and control plane. I found this explanation to be the most clear and interesting, and, most importantly, leading to the understanding of 'Is it really necessary?'. Since the idea of a 'Service Mesh […]

Intensive work is ongoing to check Haiku's booting process. Three days ago, I learned about Haiku, an unexpectedly good operating system for PCs. Now it's the fourth day, and I want to do more 'real work' with this system, but the partition […]
