Small business: to automate or not?

The RCE vulnerability in Exim has already made a lot of noise, and has pretty much rattled the nerves of system administrators around the world. On the wave of mass infections (many of our clients use Exim as a mail server), I quickly threw in a script to automate the solution of the problem.

Removal of wisdom teeth. How it's done?

Dear friends, last time we talked about what wisdom teeth are like, when they need to be removed and when not. And today I will tell you in detail and in every detail how the removal of “sentenced” teeth actually takes place. With pictures.
