A serious bug has been discovered in the BIND 9.16.0 branch published two weeks ago, which leads to the exhaustion of the TCP connection limit. In BIND 9.16, a new networking subsystem was proposed, transitioned to an asynchronous request processing mechanism based on the libuv library. Due to an error in this subsystem, the counter of active TCP connections does not decrease under certain conditions, leading to an increasing discrepancy of […]

Historically, command-line utilities in Unix systems have been better developed than in Windows, but with the advent of a new solution, the situation has changed. For PowerShell, scripts can be written in an interpreted multi-paradigm language that incorporates elements of classical procedural, object-oriented, and even functional programming: conditional transitions, loops, variables, arrays, hash tables, classes, error handling, as well as functions, cmdlets, and pipelines. The previous article […]

Therefore, I would like to explain in more detail how we managed to resolve them. This article will discuss, as I mentioned earlier, the SonarQube platform. A bit of theory — what it is about, for […]
When your job is to create something beautiful, you don't need to say much about it, as the result is visible to everyone. However, if you are erasing inscriptions from fences, your work goes unnoticed until the fences look decent or until you erase something inappropriate. Any service where you can leave comments, feedback, send messages, or […]
