Notably, the initial author of the npm package with the PureScript installer, who managed this npm package until recently, has transferred it to other maintainers about a month ago. […]
The favorite question about any distributed system from a non-technical specialist is, "How many tps does your blockchain have?" However, the number given in response usually has little to do with what the inquirer would like to hear. In reality, they wanted to ask, "Will your blockchain meet my business requirements?" — and these requirements are not a single number, but a multitude of conditions […]

The quality of data in storage is a crucial prerequisite for obtaining valuable information. Poor quality leads to a negative chain reaction in the long run. First, trust in the provided information diminishes. People begin to use Business Intelligence applications less, leaving the potential of these applications untapped. As a result, further investments in analytical projects are questioned. Responsibility for data quality is an aspect related […]
LINQ entered .NET as a powerful new language for data manipulation. LINQ to SQL, as part of it, allows for convenient interaction with databases using tools like Entity Framework. However, developers often overlook what specific SQL query the queryable provider, in this case, Entity Framework, will generate. Let's break down two key aspects […]

The issue arises from a flaw in the HTTP Basic authentication handler and can trigger a buffer overflow when special formatted credentials are passed to the Squid Cache Manager or embedded FTP gateway. The vulnerability manifests starting […]
This note will discuss various "large" software tools for backup, including commercial options. The candidates list includes Veeam Agent for Linux and Bacula. The focus will be on filesystem operations to facilitate comparison with previous candidates. Expected results Since both candidates are universal off-the-shelf solutions, the most critical outcome will be the predictability of performance, namely, consistent runtime […]
