The Waypipe project has been introduced, which develops a proxy for the Wayland protocol, allowing applications to run on a different host. Waypipe facilitates the transmission to another host through a single network socket for Wayland messages and serialized changes in shared memory buffers and DMABUF. SSH can be used as a transport similar to the built-in SSH redirection for the X11 protocol (`ssh -X`). […]
Developers at Mozilla have released the first public build of the updated Firefox Preview browser, which was previously known as Fenix. The new version is set to be released this fall, and a 'pilot' version of the application can currently be downloaded.

And around me is the tundra, around me is ice. I watch as everyone is in a hurry, but no one is going anywhere. B.G. A Room with a White Ceiling. I woke up in a small room with a white ceiling. I was alone in the room. I was lying on a bed that resembled a hospital bed. My hands were tied to a metal frame. There was no one in the room […]
Every year, rescuers search for tens of thousands of people missing in wild conditions. From the cities, our technological power seems so enormous that it can handle any task. Just take a dozen drones, equip each with a camera and thermal imager, attach a neural network, and voilà — it will find anyone in 15 minutes. But that is not the case at all. So far […]
The head of Red Hat's Desktop division, Christian Schaller, revealed in his blog the team's plans for developing Wayland and completely discontinuing development of the X Window System (X, X11): Christian Schaller: "As soon as we finish with this (the complete dismissal of the need for XWayland, author’s note), we plan to move X.org to a 'sustained support' mode quite quickly. The reality […]

Introduction An information system, from the user's perspective, is well defined in GOST RV 51987 as "an automated system, the result of which is the presentation of output information for subsequent use." If we consider the internal structure, any IS essentially consists of a system of interconnected algorithms implemented in code. Broadly speaking, according to the Turing-Church thesis, an algorithm (and hence the IS) performs a transformation of a set of input […]
Introduction It's time to buy a storage system. Which one to choose and whom to listen to? Vendor A talks about vendor B, while integrator C offers opposing advice and recommends vendor D. In such situations, even an experienced storage architect can feel overwhelmed, especially with all the new vendors and the trendy SDS and hyper-convergence. So, how do you […]
The release of the Trident 19.06 operating system has taken place, during which a user-friendly graphical distribution based on FreeBSD technologies is being developed by the TrueOS project, reminiscent of earlier releases of PC-BSD and TrueOS. The installation ISO image size is 3 GB (AMD64). As part of the Trident project, the Lumina graphical environment and all previously available graphical tools from PC-BSD are also being developed.
Some time ago, it became known that an official website dedicated to Huawei's operating system HongMeng OS appeared on the Internet. It contained various information, including technical specifications of the platform, news, and more. Initially, many found the website to be odd. It featured outdated information, and the visual design was rather informal […]
Caution: the text includes scenes of smoking. Smoking can harm your health. (21+) Advertising Law Leaves from the Tree of Knowledge In the morning, sharp at nine o'clock, I was at the entrance to the third, most mysterious pure white sphere, trying to make a favorable impression on Marat Ibrahimovich with my punctuality. This was to ensure that the laboratory demonstration would not be postponed indefinitely again. In the distance, I …
Microsoft has published all changes and additions to the Linux kernel used in the kernel provided for the WSL 2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux v2) subsystem. The second edition of WSL features a complete Linux kernel instead of an emulator that dynamically translates Linux system calls into Windows system calls. The availability of the source code allows enthusiasts to create their own builds of the Linux kernel if desired.
