Google's social network did not take off just like its previous social service, Wave. Of course, the reasons for the failure are somewhat different, but the fact remains that Google + is shutting down. Although this social platform had much fewer users than Facebook, there is still valuable information there. Understanding this, the Internet Archive team decided […]
Good afternoon! I would like to share with the community some interesting thoughts on creating a standalone decentralized email system and demonstrate in practice one existing implementation. Initially, 'Telegraph' was developed as an amateur communication tool for members of our small student community, dedicated in one way or another to computing and communications. Nota Bene: 'Telegraph' is an amateur communication tool; […]
FreeRDP is an open-source implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), which allows remote control of computers and was developed by Microsoft. The project supports numerous platforms, including Windows, Linux, macOS, and even iOS and Android. This project has been chosen first in a series of articles dedicated to testing RDP clients using the static analysis tool PVS-Studio.

A utility as old and popular as WinRAR has been vulnerable for the past 19 years to an error that hackers and malware distributors can easily exploit, as revealed last month. Fortunately, the software was patched in a recent build 5.70. However, many users have not updated the program in a long time and do so infrequently, so […]
Western Digital has announced comparatively affordable WD Blue SN500 NVMe SSDs, suitable for use in desktops and laptops. The products comply with the NVM Express (NVMe) specification, which describes access to SSDs via the PCI Express bus (in this case, PCIe Gen3 x2).

0. Intro I couldn't find a single article on NetXMS on Habr, even though I searched extensively. For this reason, I decided to write this piece to shine a light on this system. It serves as both a tutorial and a how-to, along with a superficial overview of the system's capabilities. This article presents a high-level analysis and description of the system's features. I didn't delve deeply into its capabilities […]
Many enterprises, especially in the CIS region, already have established IT infrastructure, where tools like Microsoft Active Directory are often used for user management and authentication. When such enterprises start planning the implementation of Zimbra Collaboration Suite, they often wonder if ZCS will integrate well into their infrastructure and utilize Microsoft AD […]
Recently, I read an interesting book by Alan Pease titled “Questions are the Answers.” Besides the main content on how to ask questions correctly to get the answers you need, the book has an introduction where Alan shares his journey to success. He started selling rubber ducks at the age of ten and became the top agent at eighteen […]
Long ago, I wrote an article on Habr titled “Intensity is more important than thoroughness” about the idea that it is better to increase the number of attempts to do something rather than prolong one attempt. Now, I want to expand on this thought. The main idea: break your work into sessions designed to increase the number of attempts to solve the task. Instead of working for six hours straight, it is often preferable to […]
How would you describe the year 2018? Did it turn out the way you expected it to? We would answer this question more negatively. Starting with particularly devastating natural disasters and ending with a record number of women running for office, 2018 was full of surprises. Looking back, we evaluate the world quite differently than we saw it in predictions a couple of […]

We suggested that Zimbra users take advantage of the easiest and safest method for creating mailboxes in Zimbra based on data from AD called LAZY Mode. […]
