OpenCV is a library designed for computer vision projects. It has been around for about 20 years. I used it back in college and still apply it to my projects in C++ and Python because it has decent support for these languages. However, when I started studying and using Go, I became curious about whether OpenCV could be used for […]
Everything is permissible for me, but not everything is beneficial. The New Testament, 1 Cor. 10:23 NVIDIA graphics cards in recent years have not favored the average gamer with opportunities for overclocking. Already on the 10 series boards, the algorithms for automatic management of GPU clock frequencies are set up to use most of the performance reserve within the calculated TDP and cooling system capabilities. Accelerators of the Turing family, […]
The faster the development process, the faster the technology company progresses. Unfortunately, modern applications work against us — our systems need to be updated in real-time without disturbing anyone or causing downtime and interruptions. Deployment in such systems becomes a complicated task and requires complex continuous delivery pipelines even in small teams. […]
Mozilla developers reported conducting a new study as part of preparing to implement the DNS over HTTPS (DoH) feature. During the ongoing experiment on the systems of some users of Firefox releases in the U.S., statistics will be collected on the usage of parental control systems and corporate resolvers. You can opt out of the experiment through the 'about:studies' page (study […]

The developers of OpenBSD published the first stable update of the portable version of the OpenBGPD routing package 6.5, which can be used on operating systems other than OpenBSD. To ensure portability, parts of the code were used from the OpenNTPD, OpenSSH, and LibreSSL projects. In addition to OpenBSD, support for Linux and FreeBSD has been declared. The operation of OpenBGPD has been tested on Debian 9, Ubuntu 14.04, and FreeBSD 12. Development of OpenBGPD is ongoing at […]
The developers of Fedora Linux announced the formation of the Minimization Team, which will work with package maintainers to reduce the installation size of delivered applications, runtime, and other components of the distribution. The size is planned to be reduced by ceasing the installation of unnecessary dependencies and excluding optional components such as documentation. Reducing the size will help achieve smaller application containers and specialized builds […]
How can you grow tenfold in database requests without migrating to a more powerful server while maintaining system performance? I will share how we tackled the performance drop of our database, optimized SQL queries to serve as many users as possible, and kept computational resource costs down. I am developing a service for managing business processes […]
As is known, indexes play a crucial role in DBMS, providing quick access to the required records. Therefore, it is essential to maintain them timely. There is plenty of material written about analysis and optimization, including online. For example, a recent review of this topic was published here. There are many paid and free solutions available for this. For instance, there exist […]
Note: We present to you technical details about the reasons for the recent downtime of the cloud service operated by the creators of Grafana. This is a classic example of how a new and seemingly useful feature, intended to improve infrastructure quality, can cause harm if numerous nuances of its application in a production environment are not taken into account. It’s wonderful when such materials arise, allowing us to learn not only […]
In its time, there were rumors that Microsoft was preparing a Windows 10 Home Ultra build for enthusiasts. However, this turned out to be just a dream. There is still no special version. However, it is believed that it may appear in the Windows 10 Pro edition.
