TL;DR: Four years ago, I left Google with the idea for a new server monitoring tool. The concept was to combine typically isolated functions such as log collection and analysis, metric collection, alerts, and dashboards into a single service. One of the core principles is that the service should be incredibly fast, providing DevOps with a seamless, interactive, and enjoyable experience. This requires processing datasets […]
Firefox Certificate Storage With the release of Mozilla Firefox 65 in February 2019, some users began noticing errors when connecting to HTTPS sites, such as "Your Connection is not secure" or "SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER." The reason was found to be antivirus software like Avast, Bitdefender, and Kaspersky, which install their own root certificates on computers for MiTM injection into the user's HTTPS traffic. And since in Firefox […]
I recently changed my virtual server and had to set everything up from scratch. I prefer that the site is accessible over https, and that Let's Encrypt certificates are obtained and renewed automatically. This can be achieved by using two Docker images: nginx-proxy and nginx-proxy-companion. This guide explains how to set up a Docker site with a proxy that automatically fetches SSL certificates. A CentOS 7 virtual server is used. I […]
Replication is not backup. Or is it? Here’s how we used delayed replication for recovery after accidentally deleting shortcuts. Infrastructure experts at GitLab are responsible for running GitLab.com — the largest instance of GitLab in existence. With 3 million users and nearly 7 million projects, it is one of the largest open-source SaaS sites with dedicated architecture. Without a system […]

Unity is a platform that has been around for quite some time and is constantly evolving. However, when working on multiple projects simultaneously, one can still encounter difficulties using shared source files (.cs), libraries (.dll), and other assets (images, sounds, models, prefabs). In this article, we will share our experience with a native solution to such problems for Unity. Methods […]
Many people still believe in the misconception that they act predominantly rationally and sensibly. However, science and practical psychology have long concluded that human behavior is irrational and unreasonable in most life situations. This is neither good nor bad; it simply is. I offer you a selection of authors and books that provide compelling arguments […]

In particular, we will discuss the Bash shell and 21 useful commands. We will also talk about how to use command flags and Bash aliases, which allow you to speed up the input of lengthy […]
From the Translator: We have published an article by Maria Perna that discusses the typical JavaScript tasks most often offered to developer candidates during interviews. This article will be particularly useful for beginner programmers. Interviews at tech companies have long been the stuff of legend. It's no surprise — successfully passing an interview opens the door to a good job. But […]
The goal of this project was: To study the DHCP protocol while working in an IPv4 network To learn Python (a bit more than from scratch 😉 ) replacing the DB2DHCP server (my fork), the original here, which has become increasingly difficult to compile under the new OS. Moreover, I dislike that the binary, which cannot be 'swapped out right now', is expected to provide a functioning DHCP server with the option […]
In the view of the uninitiated, the job of a security administrator seems like an exciting duel between an anti-hacker and malicious hackers who continually invade the corporate network. Our hero deftly parries their bold attacks with swift command inputs in real time, ultimately emerging as the shining victor. Truly a royal musketeer, armed with a keyboard instead of a sword and musket. And on […]
