Many use Apache2 as a web server. However, few consider optimizing its performance, which directly affects website page loading speed, script processing speed (especially PHP), as well as the CPU load and increased memory usage. Thus, the following manual should help beginners (and not only) users. All examples provided below […]
Part One After a brief pause, we return to NSX. Today, I will show you how to configure NAT and Firewall. In the Administration tab, go to your virtual data center – Cloud Resources – Virtual Datacenters. Select the Edge Gateways tab and right-click on the desired NSX Edge. In the menu that appears, choose the Edge Gateway Services option. The NSX Edge control panel will open […]
System administrators fall into two categories — those who already use monitoring and those who do not yet. It's a joke. The need for monitoring arises through various paths. Some are fortunate, and monitoring comes from the parent company. Here, everything is simple; others have already figured out what and how to monitor, and they have probably even written the necessary manuals and […]
Developers from Opera Software have announced that users of the mobile version of the Android operating system browser can now use a free VPN service, as was the case before the closure of the Opera VPN service. Previously, a beta version of the browser with this capability was available, and now the build has reached release. It is stated that the new service is free, unlimited, and easy to use. Its use will allow you to protect your data, which […]
The decline in the value of major cryptocurrencies has brought mining profitability close to zero. However, GPU-based farms can find new life and once again serve as a source of income for their owners. The startup Vectordash has developed a fantastic technology that allows farm owners to lease their power for the operation of a gaming streaming service, which, due to its geographical distribution, offers players […]
In the early 2000s, MySpace introduced many users to the world of social networking. In subsequent years, the platform became a huge repository of music, where bands could share their songs, and users could add tracks to their profiles. Naturally, after the rise of Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat, as well as streaming music sites, the popularity of MySpace began to decline. But […]
In October 2017, I attended an advertising seminar for the DLP system DeviceLock, where in addition to the main leak protection features like disabling USB ports, contextual analysis of emails, and clipboard monitoring, protection from administrators was also advertised. The model is simple and elegant — a technician comes to a small firm, installs a suite of programs, passwords the BIOS, creates an administrator account for DeviceLock, and leaves the local admin with only […]
Censorship is closely linked to politics. The annual global ranking of internet freedom vividly illustrates this dependence: states where human rights are violated block 'undesirable' resources or cut off access to the global network. Only 13 out of 65 countries analyzed by researchers from Freedom House in 2017 do not hinder the information freedom of their citizens. Most other users around the world face significant limitations.
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 […]
