Steve Langasek from Canonical announced the intention to provide users of future Ubuntu releases with the ability to use libraries for the 32-bit x86 architecture by borrowing these libraries from Ubuntu 18.04. It is noted that support for i386 libraries will continue but will be frozen at the state of Ubuntu 18.04. Thus, Ubuntu 19.10 users will be able to install the libraries necessary to run 32-bit […]
The final, most tedious reference article. Reading it for general knowledge may not make much sense, but when the time comes, it will be very helpful. Content of the series of articles Part 1: General architecture of the KTV network Part 2: Composition and form of the signal Part 3: Analog component of the signal Part 4: Digital component of the signal Part 5: Coaxial distribution network Part 6: RF signal amplifiers […]
Hello again! Today I would like to write a mini post and answer the question — 'Why remove wisdom teeth if they don't cause any discomfort?' and comment on the claim — 'My relatives and friends, dad/mom/grandpa/grandma/neighbors/pet had a tooth removed and everything went wrong. Absolutely everyone had complications and now no one wants to remove theirs.' First, I would like to say that complications […]
After six months of development, the release of the console file manager Midnight Commander 4.8.23 has been published, available in source code under the GPLv3+ license. Key changes include: Significant acceleration in the deletion of large directories (previously, recursive deletion of directories was significantly slower than 'rm -rf' as each file was iterated and deleted individually); The dialog layout shown when attempting to overwrite an existing file has been redesigned. The button […]
DDoS attacks remain one of the most discussed topics in the field of information security. However, not everyone realizes that bot traffic, which is the tool for such attacks, poses numerous other dangers for online businesses. Malicious actors can use bots not only to take a website down but also to steal data, distort business metrics, increase advertising costs, and damage reputation […]
Mastodon is a "decentralized Twitter." Microblogs scattered across numerous independent servers, interconnected into a single network. The closest analogy is regular email. You can register on any server and subscribe to posts from users on any other servers. Updates (from v2.9.0) New Features Added API for moderation. Added audio upload. Added short_description and approval_required to the GET method […]
After more than two years of development, the GNU project has released GNU APL 1.8, an interpreter for one of the oldest programming languages — APL, fully compliant with the ISO 13751 («Programming Language APL, Extended») standard. The APL language is optimized for working with arrays of arbitrary nesting and supports complex numbers, making it popular for scientific calculations and data processing. […]
The TinyWare project has prepared builds based on the 32-bit version of Slackware-Current, offered with 32- and 64-bit versions of the Linux kernel 4.19. The size of the ISO image is 800 MB. Key changes compared to the original Slackware include: Installation on four partitions: «/», «/boot», «/var», and «/home». The «/» and «/boot» partitions are mounted in read-only mode, while «/home» and «/var» are in […]
Just five years ago, Intel was proud to offer a unified and traditional industry programming model based on x86-compatible instructions. This model encompassed mobile systems on Atom SoCs, Xeon Phi compute accelerators (conditionally graphical architecture — formerly Larrabee), and processors. Today, the assertion that «x86 is everything to us» has become […]
The ninth generation of HPE ProLiant DL180 and DL160 servers did not earn public affection. This is because the benefits of purchasing them—compared to the older DL300 series—were not so obvious. However, the company acknowledged past mistakes, and with the tenth generation Gen10, which was slightly delayed in its market release, everything was set right again. Now […]
We discuss what new developments may arise in data centers and beyond. / photo jesse orrico Unsplash It is believed that silicon transistors are nearing their technological limits. Last time, we talked about materials that could replace silicon and discussed alternative approaches to transistor development. Today, we’re talking about concepts that can transform the principles of traditional computing systems: […]
The Open Invention Network (OIN) organization, which protects the Linux ecosystem from patent claims, has announced that it has surpassed 3000 participants. Over the past two years, the number of OIN participants has increased by 50%. For example, just since the beginning of this year, 350 new companies, communities, and organizations have joined OIN, signing a licensing agreement for patent sharing. OIN participants commit not to […]
