Support for text scrolling has been removed from the Linux kernel in text console

Posted on

The code that provided the ability to scroll text backward (CONFIG_VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK) has been removed from the text console implementation that comes with the Linux kernel. The code was removed due to errors that had no one to fix because there was no maintainer overseeing the vgacon development.

However, later, the application needs to be deployed in the production cluster along with other applications. For this, it is necessary to allocate resources for the container and ensure that there are enough of them […]

The trial-and-error method, or how to find the database configuration using benchmarks and optimization algorithms

Posted on

Hello. I've decided to share my findings—a product of reflection, trials, and errors. Essentially, this is not really a finding, of course—this should already be well known to those dealing with applied statistical data processing and optimization of various systems, not necessarily just DBMS. And yes, they know and write interesting articles based on their research, for example (UPD.: in the comments […]
