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 […]

State Internet: A Freelancer's Account of VPN in China

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.

BlessRNG or testing the RNG for fairness

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. […]

The project for translating the OpenBSD documentation into Russian.

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 […]
