Let me tell you a technical story. Many years ago, I developed an application that included built-in collaboration features. It was a convenient experimental stack that utilized the full potential of early React and CouchDB. It synchronized data in real-time using JSON OT. It was used internally at the company, but its widespread applicability and potential in other fields […]
Wait! Wait! This isn’t just another article about SQL Server backup types. I won't even discuss the differences in recovery models or how to deal with an oversized log. Perhaps (just perhaps), after reading this post, you will manage to ensure that the backup taken by your standard tools runs 1.5 times faster tomorrow night. And […]
Any phone or tablet running on Android is a device controlled by the Linux OS. Yes, it’s a heavily modified OS, but the core of Android is still the Linux kernel. Unfortunately, for most phones, the option to 'wipe Android and install a distribution of your choice' is not available. Therefore, if you want Linux on your phone, you'll have to buy specialized gadgets like the PinePhone, or […]
The release of the Matrix server Dendrite 0.1.0 has been published, marking the transition of development to the beta testing stage. Dendrite is developed by the core team behind the decentralized communication platform Matrix and is positioned as an implementation of the second generation of Matrix server components. Unlike the reference server Synapse, which is written in Python, Dendrite's code is developed in Go. Both official implementations are distributed under the Apache 2.0 license.
Screenshot of the desktop version of Fedora Linux. Linux and the entire open-source industry continue to evolve rapidly.

By reading this article, you will be able to assess your business intelligence needs and understand which option is best suited for your business.

Introduction Optimizing office infrastructure and deploying new workplaces is a significant challenge for companies of all types and sizes. The optimal solution for a new project is to rent resources in the cloud and acquire licenses that can be used both from the provider and in one's own data center. One solution for this scenario is the Zextras Suite, which allows you to create a platform […]
The release of the Live distribution Redo Rescue 2.0.6 has been published, designed for creating backups and recovering the system in case of failure or data corruption. The snapshots generated by the distribution can be fully or selectively cloned to a new disk (creating a new partition table) or used to restore system integrity after malware activity, hardware failures, or accidental data deletion.
The release of FreeType 2.10.3 has been announced, a modular font engine that provides a unified API for standardizing the processing and rendering of font data in various vector and raster formats. Key changes include: improved TrueType glyph support with overlapping outlines. LCD filtering is now enabled by default during initialization. The auto-hinting code has been synchronized with ttfautohint. Support has been added for building with the toolchain […]
Recently, CD Projekt RED found itself at the center of yet another scandal. Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier reported that the Cyberpunk 2077 team is working six days a week, trying to meet the scheduled release date. The studio did not remain silent and issued a statement on this matter. Now, one of the CDPR representatives suggested that certain individuals are intentionally portraying the company […]
We talk about the people of the future who decode organic big data. Over the past two decades, the amount of biological data that can be analyzed has increased dramatically thanks to the decoding of the human genome. Before this, we could hardly imagine that the information literally stored in our blood could determine our ancestry, check how our body would respond to certain […]
DIY, as Wikipedia says, has long been a subculture. In this article, I want to share my DIY project of a small wireless multi-sensor device, and this will be my small contribution to this subculture. The story of this project began with the case; it sounds silly, but that is how this project started. The case was purchased from AliExpress, and I must note that […]
