The ASCII standard was adopted in 1963, and it is unlikely that anyone still uses a character encoding where the first 128 characters differ from ASCII.

EBCDIC remains the primary encoding in z/OS, the standard OS for modern mainframes […]
What do we say to the God of IPv6? Indeed, today we say the same to the God of encryption. This will cover unencrypted IPv4 tunnels, but not the old-fashioned kind; rather, the modern 'LED' type. Raw sockets will also be mentioned, and there will be work done with packets in user space. There are N tunneling protocols to suit every taste and style: the trendy and youthful WireGuard […]

Today we will discuss how to better store data in a world where fifth-generation networks, genome scanners, and autonomous vehicles produce more data in a day than all of humanity generated before the industrial revolution. Our world is generating more and more information. Some of it is fleeting and lost just as quickly as it is collected. Other parts need to be stored longer […]
This article's translation has been prepared in anticipation of the launch of the "Administrator Linux.Basic" course. A semaphore is a mechanism that allows competing processes and threads to work with shared resources and helps solve various synchronization issues such as race conditions, deadlocks, and incorrect thread behavior.
