U.S. provider associations opposed the centralization in implementing DNS-over-HTTPS

The trade associations NCTA, CTIA, and USTelecom, representing the interests of internet providers, have approached the U.S. Congress to draw attention to the issues with the implementation of DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and request detailed information from Google regarding its current and future plans for integrating DoH into its products, as well as securing a commitment not to enable centralized processing by default […]

Internet has been turned off in Iraq

Amid ongoing mass unrest, an attempt has been made in Iraq to completely block access to the internet. Currently, connectivity has been lost with approximately 75% of Iraqi providers, including all major telecommunications operators. Access remains only in certain cities in northern Iraq (for example, the Kurdish Autonomous Region), which have separate network infrastructure and an autonomous status. Initially, authorities tried to block access […]

The Time of Firsts. A story of how we implemented Scratch as a programming language for robots

Looking at the current diversity of educational robotics, it's heartening that children have access to a huge variety of kits and ready-made products, and that the entry barrier for programming basics has been lowered significantly (even down to kindergarten). There is a growing trend toward initially engaging with modular and block programming, followed by a transition to more advanced languages. However, this situation wasn't always the case. In 2009-2010, Russia started to massively […]

Where the Fairytale Leads

September is coming to an end, and with it, the calendar of "adventures" of the Fairy Tale — a series of tasks that develop at the intersection of the real world and other, virtually-imagined ones. Below you will find the second part of my personal impressions related to "completing" these "quests". The beginning of the "adventures" (events from September 1 to 8) and a brief introduction are described here. The concept is globally outlined here. The fairy tale continues on September 9. […]

GNOME has transitioned to using systemd for session management

Starting with version 3.34, GNOME has fully transitioned to the systemd user session toolkit. This change is completely transparent to both users and developers (XDG-autostart is supported) — apparently, that’s why it went unnoticed on LOR. Previously, only DBUS-activated sessions were launched using user sessions, while everything else was handled by gnome-session. Now this unnecessary layer has finally been removed. Interestingly, […]

Updates for Ruby 2.6.5, 2.5.7, and 2.4.8 addressing vulnerabilities.

Corrective releases for the Ruby programming language 2.6.5, 2.5.7, and 2.4.8 have been issued, addressing four vulnerabilities. The most critical vulnerability (CVE-2019-16255) is in the standard Shell library (lib/shell.rb), which allows for code injection. If user-provided data is processed as the first argument in the Shell#[] or Shell#test methods used to check for file presence, an attacker could invoke arbitrary Ruby methods. Other […]

The plan to discontinue support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 in Chrome

Similar to Firefox, Chrome plans to soon halt support for the TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 protocols, which are being classified as obsolete and not recommended by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) for use. Support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 will be disabled in Chrome 81, scheduled for March 17, 2020. According to Google, […]

OVEN PLC110[M02]-MS4, HMI, OPC, and SCADA, or how much chamomile tea a person needs. Part 1

Good day, dear readers of this article. I am writing this in a review format. A small warning: I want to caution that if you immediately understood what the title refers to, I advise changing the first point (the PLC core itself) to anything from the pricing category one level higher. No savings are worth the amount of nerves it takes, subjectively speaking. For those who are not intimidated by a little gray hair and […]

Release of the TensorFlow 2.0 machine learning system

A significant release of the TensorFlow 2.0 machine learning platform has been presented, providing ready implementations of various deep learning algorithms, a simple programming interface for building models in Python, and a low-level interface for C++, allowing for the management of computation graph construction and execution. The system code is written in C++ and Python and is distributed under the Apache license. The platform was originally developed by the team […]

Windows 10 version 1909 will be able to differentiate between successful and unsuccessful cores in the processor.

As previously reported, the next major update for the Windows 10 operating system, known as 19H2 or 1909, will begin rolling out to users next week. Overall, it is believed that this update will not bring significant changes to the operating system and will serve as something akin to a regular service pack. However, for enthusiasts, it may be much more important and fundamental, as […]
