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 […]

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 […]
In one of our previous articles, we discussed how to 'friend' Zimbra and MS Active Directory, which is used in most Russian companies for user account management. 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. […]
It would hardly be incorrect to say that the best among us find joy through suffering. Ludwig van Beethoven I am Sergey, working at Yandex.Money in the performance research team. I want to tell you the beginning of the story of our path to using orchestration — how we chose the tools and what we considered during the process. All events from the article take place in real time, […]
There are often situations where access to a server is needed immediately. However, SSH connection is not always the most convenient method, as you may not have an SSH client, the server address, or the 'user/password' combination at hand. Of course, there is Webmin, which simplifies administration, but it also does not provide instant access. Therefore, I decided to implement a simple, yet […]
