At the end of last week, there was great news: two of our partners (Huawei and Nutanix) announced their partnership in the field of HCI. Huawei's server hardware is now included in the Nutanix compatibility list. The Huawei-Nutanix HCI is built on the FusionServer 2288H V5 (a 2U dual-processor server). The jointly developed solution is designed to create flexible cloud platforms capable of handling enterprise […]
In game development, you often need to tie something to randomness: Unity has its own Random for this, and there is also System.Random. Long ago, on one of the projects, it seemed that both might behave differently (although they should have a uniform distribution). We didn't dive into the details at that time — it was sufficient to know that switching to System.Random fixed all the issues. […]
A new significant version of KeePassXC has been released. KeePassXC is a cross-platform password manager with a graphical interface. The source code is distributed under the GPLv2 or GPLv3 license. More information about KeePassXC can be found on the official website. Some features of the release include: the ability to export the password database to an HTML file (for printing); a panel with information about the password database and some statistics; a guide […]
Mozilla Thunderbird is set to receive a major update that will include built-in email encryption using OpenPGP. This means users can forgo addons like Enigmail and Mailvelope. The encryption implementation is based on the work done by the Enigmail addon, the author of which is assisting the Mozilla team in transitioning functionality to the email client. The main difference is that instead of using the external program GnuPG, it will propose the use of […]
Microsoft has announced an expansion of the capabilities of the WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) layer, which enables the execution of Linux executable files in Windows. Experimental builds of Windows Insider (build 19013) now feature support for memory reclamation returned to the system, which is freed by processes running in the Linux kernel-based environment. Previously, in cases where memory consumption increased due to applications or the kernel, memory […]
In 2014, project leader Theo de Raadt of OpenBSD stopped supporting translations of all documentation and the website. The reason for this decision was the continuous lag of translations behind changes in the original documentation. Alexander Naumov, one of the authors of previous translations of OpenBSD documentation, decided to revitalize the project to support current OpenBSD documentation in Russian. Currently, a large portion has been translated […]
The second milestone release of the mobile platform Tizen 5.5 has been published. This release is aimed at familiarizing developers with the new capabilities of the platform. The code is provided under GPLv2, Apache 2.0, and BSD licenses. Builds have been formed for the emulator, Raspberry Pi 3 boards, Odroid U3, Odroid X U3, Artik 710/530/533, and various mobile platforms based on armv7l and arm64 architectures. The project is evolving under […]
Dear friends, today I invite you to discuss wisdom teeth. Specifically, let's talk about the most complex and least understood topic — the indications for their removal. Throughout history, many jokes, superstitions, legends, and frightening stories have been associated with the eighth teeth (third molars or "wisdom teeth"). This mythology is widespread not only among ordinary people, but […]

Consumer habits and demands have changed significantly over the last decade. Online competitors are about to start closing in. Generation Z shoppers want a simple and functional profile to receive personalized offers from stores and brands. They use […]
The Belgian research center Imec announced the development of an affordable technology for producing nanoporous material with outstanding qualities. The unique material, in the form of a nano-porous structure, possesses extremely high porosity and an unprecedented surface-to-volume ratio. Imagine a small can of soda, 75% of which is empty space with a total surface area equivalent to a football field. Moreover, the production of the material is quite straightforward […]
In February, a conference on high-performance computing (HPC) took place at Stanford. VMware representatives shared that when working with GPUs, a system based on a modified ESXi hypervisor performs comparably to bare metal solutions. We discuss the technologies that made this possible. / photo Victorgrigas CC BY-SA Performance Issue According to analysts, about 70% of workloads in data centers are virtualized. […]
Let's look into the practical use of Windows Active Directory + NPS (2 servers for redundancy) + the 802.1x standard for access control and user authentication – domain computers – devices. You can refer to the theory regarding the standard in Wikipedia, at the following link: IEEE 802.1X. Since my 'laboratory' is resource-limited, I will combine the roles of NPS and domain controller, but […]
