The proposed information environment is a kind of decentralized social network. However, unlike many existing solutions, this environment has a number of useful features beyond decentralization and is built on fairly simple and standard technical solutions (email, json, text files, and a bit of blockchain). This allows anyone with basic programming knowledge to create their services for this […]
The Reward by Tohad At the beginning of working with Kubernetes, it is often forgotten to configure container resources. At this stage, it's sufficient to ensure that the Docker image runs and can be deployed in the Kubernetes cluster. However, later, the application needs to be deployed in the production cluster along with other applications. For this, it is necessary to allocate resources for the container and ensure that there are enough of them […]
Hello. I've decided to share my findings—a product of reflection, trials, and errors. Essentially, this is not really a finding, of course—this should already be well known to those dealing with applied statistical data processing and optimization of various systems, not necessarily just DBMS. And yes, they know and write interesting articles based on their research, for example (UPD.: in the comments […]
Facial recognition in access control systems meets the growing demand for contactless identification solutions. Today, this method of biometric identification is a global trend: the average annual growth rate of the facial recognition systems market is estimated by analysts at 20%. According to forecasts, in 2023 this figure will increase to 4 billion USD. Integration of terminals with the access control system Recognition […]
This article will be useful for those familiar with Check Point's Threat Emulation and Threat Extraction technologies and looking to take a step towards automating these tasks. Check Point offers a Threat Prevention API that works both in the cloud and on-premises, and functionally it is identical to file scanning […]
<< Previous: The Era of Fragmentation, Part 4: Anarchists In 1990, John Quarterman, a networking consultant and UNIX expert, published a comprehensive review of the state of computer networks at the time. In a small section dedicated to the future of computing systems, he predicted the emergence of a global network for 'email, conferencing, file transfer, remote system access – so […]
Amazon has announced the final release of Bottlerocket — a specialized distribution for running and managing containers efficiently. Bottlerocket (by the way, this is the name for small homemade rockets using gunpowder) isn't the first OS for containers, but it is likely to gain widespread adoption due to its default integration with AWS services. Although the system is geared towards the Amazon cloud, the open-source […]
VictoriaMetrics is a fast and scalable database for storing and processing time series data (a record forms time and a set of corresponding values at that time, for example, obtained through periodic sensor state polling or metric collection). My name is Pavel Kolobayev. DevOps, SRE, LeroyMerlin, everything as code – this is all about us: about me and my fellow employees […]
Once, in one of the old and already abandoned articles, I wrote about how easy and effortlessly one can stream video from a canvas via websockets. In that article, I briefly explained how to capture video from a camera and audio from a microphone using the MediaStream API, how to encode the stream, and send it through websockets to the server. However, in […]
In this article, I want to share my attempts to stream video via websockets without using third-party browser plugins like Adobe Flash Player. What resulted from this can be read further. Adobe Flash, formerly Macromedia Flash, is a platform for creating applications that run in a web browser. Before the introduction of the Media Stream API, it was practically the only platform for webcam streaming […]
The time has come to conclude the series of articles on the new generation of SMB Check Point (series 1500). We hope this has been a useful experience for you, and that you will continue to follow us on the TS Solution blog. The topic of the concluding article is not widely covered but is no less important — tuning SMB performance. In it, we will discuss the configuration capabilities of the hardware […]
In previous publications, we mentioned that in the remote electronic voting system we are considering, a cryptographic algorithm known as 'blind digital signature' is used to ensure voter anonymity and confidentiality of voting. In this article, we will explore it in more detail. First, we will look at the well-known and familiar digital signature algorithm that is widely used in various information systems. At its core […]
