A practical example of connecting a Ceph-based storage to a Kubernetes cluster

Container Storage Interface (CSI) is a unified interface that facilitates interaction between Kubernetes and storage systems. We’ve previously provided a brief overview of it, and today we will take a closer look at the integration of CSI and Ceph: demonstrating how to connect a Ceph storage system to a Kubernetes cluster. The article contains real, albeit slightly simplified, examples for ease of understanding. Instructions for installing and configuring Ceph and Kubernetes clusters […]

Features of Mobile Device Firmware Updates

Whether to update the firmware on personal phones is a personal decision. Some opt for CyanogenMod, while others feel they do not own the device without TWRP or jailbreak. In the case of corporate mobile phone updates, the process should be relatively standardized; otherwise, even Ragnarok would seem like fun to the IT team. Read on to learn how this occurs in the corporate world. A brief overview […]

Release of the 4MLinux 34.0 distribution

Release 4MLinux 34.0 has been published, a minimalist user distribution that is not a fork of any other projects and utilizes a graphical environment based on JWM. 4MLinux can serve not only as a live environment for multimedia playback and user tasks but also as a recovery system and a platform for launching LAMP servers (Linux, Apache, MariaDB, and […]

Organizing effective time attacks using HTTP/2 and WPA3

A new hacking technique overcomes the problem of 'network jitter', which can affect the success of attacks through third-party channels. This technique, developed by researchers at Leuven University (Belgium) and New York University in Abu Dhabi, has shown that attackers can exploit network protocol features to orchestrate confidential information leaks. This method, called Timeless Timing Attacks, was demonstrated this year at the Usenix conference, […]

Cisco ISE: Introduction, Requirements, Installation. Part 1

1. Introduction Every company, even the smallest, has a need for authentication, authorization, and accounting of users (the AAA protocol family). At the initial stage, AAA is quite effectively implemented using protocols such as RADIUS, TACACS+, and DIAMETER. However, with the growth in the number of users and companies, the tasks increase: maximum visibility of hosts and BYOD devices, multi-factor […]

Release of Vue.js 3.0.0, the framework for building user interfaces

The Vue.js development team has announced the official release of Vue.js 3.0 'One Piece', a significant new release of the framework that, according to the developers, 'provides improved performance, smaller package sizes, better integration with TypeScript, new APIs for addressing large-scale tasks, and a solid foundation for future framework iterations in the long term.' The project's code is distributed under the MIT license. Vue is a progressive […]

A vulnerability in Firefox for Android allows control of the browser via public Wi-Fi

A serious vulnerability has been identified in the implementation of the SSDP protocol in Firefox for Android, which is used for discovering network services in the local network. This vulnerability allows an attacker on the same local or wireless network to respond to Firefox's probing requests with a UPnP XML 'LOCATION' message containing intent commands, which can open an arbitrary URI in the browser or trigger handlers of other applications. […]

The Raspberry Pi 4 now supports booting from USB drives

The default eeprom firmware with a bootloader for Raspberry Pi 4 boards has been enhanced to support booting from USB drives. Previously, Raspberry Pi 4 boards could only boot from an SD card or over the network. Experimental support for USB booting was added in May, but it was unavailable in the default firmware. The initial lack of USB boot capability and […]

Easily manage complex alerts. Or the story behind Balerter.

Everyone loves alerts. Of course, it's much better to receive a notification when something happens (or gets fixed) than to sit and look at graphs searching for anomalies. There are quite a few tools created for this. Alertmanager from the Prometheus ecosystem and vmalert from the VictoriaMetrics product group. Zabbix notifications and alerts in Grafana. Custom bash scripts and Telegram bots that periodically trigger some […]

Red Hat is developing a new filesystem NVFS, optimized for NVM memory.

Mikuláš Patočka, one of the developers of LVM and the author of several inventions related to optimizing storage system performance, who works at Red Hat, presented in the Linux kernel developers mailing list a new filesystem called NVFS, aimed at creating a compact and fast filesystem for non-volatile memory (NVM, non-volatile memory, such as NVDIMM), combining RAM performance with the capability of […]

Mozilla is shutting down the Firefox Send and Firefox Notes services.

Mozilla has decided to shut down the Firefox Send and Firefox Notes services. Firefox Send has officially ceased operations as of today (though access was actually closed back in July), and Firefox Notes will be disabled on November 1. The freed-up resources are planned to be directed towards the development of Mozilla VPN, Firefox Monitor, and Firefox Private Network. The service has been […]
