New trends in the field of import substitution are forcing Russian companies to switch to domestic operating systems. One of these systems is the Russian OS based on Debian – Astra Linux. In the realm of government procurement, there are increasingly frequent requirements to use domestically produced software with FSTEC certificates, as well as its inclusion in the registry of domestic software. However, it should be noted that […]
In this article, we will tell the story of one of the employees at EnglishDom, who learned English through a rather unusual method — role-playing Dungeons & Dragons. Here and below, we present his story nearly unchanged. We hope you enjoy it. First, let me tell a little about Dungeons & Dragons for those who are hearing about this game for the first time. To summarize, […]
As is known, support for Windows 7 ended on January 14, so Microsoft is no longer working on new patches for the system. The "posthumous" update of the OS has caused issues with wallpaper display. The cause was the patch numbered KB4534310, as confirmed in Redmond. It is reported that this update causes a crash if the "Stretch" option is used when setting wallpapers. The problem occurs on Windows […]
In the latest update, Telegram developers have introduced several new features aimed at making work easier. The first is an enhancement to polls, which now include three new types of voting. Users can now create a public poll that shows who voted for which option. The second type is a quiz, where the results can be seen immediately—correct or incorrect. Finally, […]
In the past two weeks, Mozilla has removed 197 add-ons from the addons.mozilla.org (AMO) directory that executed code loaded from third-party sites, transmitted sensitive data to external servers, engaged in malicious activities, or employed obfuscation methods. Among the removed add-ons, 129 were distributed by 2Ring, which specializes in B2B solutions. The specified add-ons were removed for loading and executing code from an external server (rules […]
A few days ago, it became known that Google is working on bringing Google Assistant to the Chrome browser on Android. This will allow the web browser to interact directly with the voice assistant. The assistant will be integrated into the browser's Omnibox. Currently, this feature is available in Chrome Canary, but there is no information on when it will be released.

Concerns about data privacy, data leaks, and the growing 'power' of large IT corporations are increasingly troubling not only ordinary internet users but also representatives of various political parties. Some of these, such as supporters of leftist movements, propose radical approaches — from nationalizing the internet to transforming tech giants into cooperatives. Discussions are ongoing about what real steps can be taken in this direction for such 'restructuring' […]
The release of GNU Mes toolkit 0.22 has been introduced, facilitating the bootstrap process for GCC and enabling a closed-loop rebuild from source code. The toolkit addresses the challenge of verified initial compiler builds in distributions, breaking the cycle of circular rebuilding (compiler builds require executables from the already built compiler, and binary compiler builds can be a potential source of hidden backdoors, preventing […]
Patches addressing seven vulnerabilities (CVE identifiers not yet assigned) have been released for the free content management system Plone, developed in Python using the Zope application server. The issues affect all active releases of Plone, including the newly released version 5.2.1 from a few days ago. The problems are expected to be fixed in future Plone releases 4.3.20, 5.1.7, and 5.2.2, and until those versions are released, a hotfix is recommended. […]

Researchers from the University of Maryland, as part of the Geneva project, have attempted to create an engine for automating the identification of methods used to censor access to content. Manually attempting to sift through possible vulnerabilities of deep packet inspection (DPI) systems is a challenging and lengthy process; the Geneva project attempted to use a genetic algorithm to evaluate DPI characteristics, identify implementation errors, and devise an optimal strategy […]
The release of the DXVK 1.5.2 layer has been formed, providing an implementation of DXGI (DirectX Graphics Infrastructure), Direct3D 9, 10, and 11, operating through call translation to the Vulkan API. To use DXVK, drivers supporting Vulkan API 1.1 are required, such as AMD RADV 18.3, NVIDIA 415.22, Intel ANV 19.0, and AMDVLK. DXVK can be used to run 3D applications and games in […]
