I am called the King. If you use familiar labels, I am a consultant. More precisely, I am the owner of a modern consulting firm. I have devised a scheme whereby my company reliably earns a decent amount of money, while, oddly enough, benefiting the client. What do you think the essence of my business scheme is? You will never guess. I sell factories their own programmers, and […]

An automated medical center utilizes a variety of devices that must be managed by a medical information system (MIS), as well as devices that do not accept commands but need to relay their operational results to the MIS. However, all devices have different connection options (USB, RS-232, Ethernet, etc.) and ways to interact with them. Supporting all of them within the MIS is practically impossible, […]
Almost always we create our problems with our own handsā¦ our worldviewā¦ our inactionā¦ our lazinessā¦ our fears. It becomes quite convenient then to float in the public current of sewage templatesā¦ since it is warm and fun, while the rest is irrelevant ā we can just indulge. But after a major failure comes the realization of a simple truth ā instead of generating an endless stream of excuses, pity for […]
Hedy Lamarr was not only the first to appear nude in film and portray an orgasm on camera, but she also invented a frequency-hopping spread spectrum communication system. "I think people's minds are more interesting than their appearance," said Hollywood actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr in 1990, ten years before her death.

"Jetpack Pilot" is a "job of the past," it's 60 years old. "Jetpack Developer" - 100 years old. "Instructor of the school course on jetpack construction" is a job of the present, we're doing that now. But what is the profession of the future? Tamper? Archeoprogrammer? Designer of false memories? Blade Runner? A long-time acquaintance of mine who participated in the crowdsourcing for a jetpack engine has now launched his […]
Two years after the cessation of the formation of 32-bit installation images for the x86 architecture, the developers of Ubuntu have decided to fully end the lifecycle of this architecture in the distribution. Starting with the autumn release of Ubuntu 19.10, packages in the repository for the i386 architecture will no longer be created. The last LTS branch for users of 32-bit x86 systems will be Ubuntu 18.04, the support for which will last […]
Sometimes, not only the documentation itself but also the process of working on it can be critical. For example, in projects, a lion's share of the work is related to preparing documentation, and an incorrect process can lead to errors and even loss of information, and therefore, loss of time and profit. But even if this topic isn't central […]
Choosing CEPH. Part 1 We had five racks, ten optical switches, configured BGP, a couple of dozen SSDs, and a bunch of SAS drives of all colors and sizes, plus proxmox and a desire to shove all the static into our own S3 storage. It's not that all this was needed for virtualization, but since I started using open source ā letās go into […]
Reversing and hacking external self-encrypting drives has been my long-standing hobby. In the past, Iāve had the opportunity to work with models like Zalman VE-400, Zalman ZM-SHE500, and Zalman ZM-VE500. Recently, a colleague brought me another exhibit: Patriot (Aigo) SK8671, which is built according to a typical design ā an LCD indicator and a keyboard for PIN code entry. Hereās what came of itā¦ 1.
