Today we will talk about static routing and cover three topics: what static routing is, how it is configured, and what its alternative is. You see a network topology that includes a computer with the IP address 192.168.1.10, connected via a switch to a gateway, or router. This connection uses the router's f0/0 port with the IP address 192.168.1.1. The second port of this router […]
Hello again. This is Sergey Omelnitsky speaking. Today I will share one of my headaches with you, specifically what to do when a project is being developed by many programmers of different levels, using an Angular application as an example. It has been my experience that I worked for a long time only with my team, where we had long ago agreed on formatting rules, commenting, indentation, etc. We have gotten used to […]
In previous posts, we discussed simple video surveillance systems in business; now we will talk about projects where the number of cameras counts in the thousands. Often the difference between the most expensive video surveillance systems and solutions that small and medium-sized businesses can implement today lies in the scale and budget. If there are no budget constraints for the project, you can directly […]

There is a vast amount of information online about creating Wi-Fi access points based on the Raspberry Pi single-board computer. Typically, it is assumed that the native operating system for the 'Pi'—Raspbian—will be used. As an enthusiast of RPM-based systems, I couldn't pass by this little marvel without trying my favorite CentOS on it. This article provides instructions for creating a 5GHz/AC Wi-Fi router […]
