Introducing Ansible Automation Platform 2, Part 2: the automation controller

Today we'll continue our introduction to the new version of the Ansible automation platform and discuss the newly introduced Automation Controller 4.0. In fact, this is an improved and renamed version of Ansible Tower, providing a standardized mechanism for defining automations, operations, and delegation at the enterprise scale. The controller has received a number of interesting technologies and a new architecture that help to quickly scale […]

Blazor: SPA without JavaScript for SaaS in practice

When it became clear at any moment what this is… When implicit type conversion was left only in the tales of the sages from the dawn of the web… When smart books on JavaScript met their ignoble end in trash bins… All this happened when the world of front-end was saved by Him. Well, let’s tone down the drama in our narrative. Today I invite you to take a look at […]

A new Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W board has been introduced

The Raspberry Pi project announced the release of a new generation of the Raspberry Pi Zero W board, combining compact size with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi support. The new model, Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, is implemented in the same miniature form factor (65 x 30 x 5 mm), which means it is about twice as small as the standard Raspberry Pi. Sales have begun […]

X.Org Server 21.1 is now available.

Three and a half years after the last significant release, the X.Org Server 21.1 has been released. Starting with this version, a new release numbering scheme has been introduced, allowing users to immediately see how long ago a particular version was published. Similar to the Mesa project, the first number in the version indicates the year, while the second number indicates the ordinal number of the significant release for […]

Intel is developing the HTTPA protocol, which complements HTTPS.

Engineers at Intel proposed a new protocol called HTTPA (HTTPS Attestable), which enhances HTTPS with additional security guarantees for the computations made. HTTPA ensures the integrity of the user's request processing on the server and verifies that the web service is trustworthy and that the code running in a TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) on the server has not been altered due to hacking or administrator intervention. HTTPS protects […]

Release of crabz 0.7, a utility for multithreaded compression and decompression, written in Rust.

The utility crabz has been released, implementing multi-threaded compression and decompression of data, similar to the utility pigz. Both utilities are multi-threaded versions of the gzip program, optimized for multi-core systems. Crabz is distinguished by its implementation in the Rust programming language, as opposed to pigz, which is written in C (and partially in C++), and shows significant […]

An experiment to determine passwords for users of 70% of Wi-Fi networks in Tel Aviv.

Israeli security researcher Ido Hoorvitch from Tel Aviv published results of an experiment studying the reliability of passwords used to secure access to wireless networks. During the research, using captured frames with PMKID identifiers, passwords for 3,663 out of 5,000 (73%) studied wireless networks in Tel Aviv were successfully guessed. It was concluded that most wireless network owners […]

Support for the Vulkan 1.1 graphics API has been certified for Raspberry Pi 4.

Raspberry Pi developers have announced the certification of the v3dv graphics driver by the Khronos organization, which has successfully passed over 100,000 tests from the CTS (Kronos Conformance Test Suite) and is recognized as fully compliant with the Vulkan 1.1 specification. The driver is certified with the Broadcom BCM2711 chip used in the Raspberry Pi 4, Raspberry Pi 400, and Compute Module 4 boards. The verification was […]

The Kerla project is developing a Linux-compatible kernel in Rust.

As part of the Kerla project, the development of an operating system kernel written in Rust is underway. The new kernel is initially aimed at ensuring ABI-level compatibility with the Linux kernel, allowing unmodified executable files compiled for Linux to run in a Kerla-based environment. The code is distributed under the Apache 2.0 and MIT licenses. The project is being developed by Japanese developer Seiya Nuta (Seiya […]
