Up to five spaces can be created, each assigned a unique name and image. This approach allows users to keep tabs for work, relaxation, home, hobbies, and more within different windows. The Opera company conducted research showing that […]
Ignoring reports about issues requesting the ability to use GitLab without providing access to JavaScript, GitLab continues to tighten its reliance on JavaScript. The server no longer returns the file list as HTML but instead adds an element with the id 'js-tree-list' to the page, with items inserted via JavaScript. This behavior is controlled by the variable vue_file_list_enabled, which itself […]

Background Hello, Habr! The writing of this post was prompted by a rather strange error that I encountered last night on a laptop with Linux (yes, I'm one of those odd people who uses GNU/Linux on a laptop) when I got the following instead of the contents of my Yandex.Disk: $ ls -l /mnt/yadisk ls: reading directory ‘.’: Input/output error total 0 The first thought: the network dropped, nothing serious. But when […]
Microsoft has released another update for its Edge browser in the Apple App Store. The new version 44.13.1 introduces two fresh features aimed at increasing the product's appeal to iOS users. First, iPhone and iPad users who prefer Microsoft's creation over Apple's Safari browser now have the option to enable tracking prevention, with the ability to choose between basic, balanced, or maximum blocking.

Qualys has discovered yet another critical remote vulnerability (CVE-2020-8794) in the OpenSMTPD mail server developed by the OpenBSD project. Just like the vulnerability identified at the end of January, the new issue allows remote execution of arbitrary shell commands on the server with root user privileges. The vulnerability has been patched in OpenSMTPD release 6.6.4p1. The problem is caused by an error in the code responsible for delivering mail to the remote mail […]

The new project leader was selected through a vote among developers […]
Ethernet is everywhere, and tens of thousands of manufacturers produce equipment that supports it. However, almost all of these devices share one common number – MTU: $ ip l 1: lo: mtu 65536 state UNKNOWN link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 2: enp5s0: mtu 1500 state UP link/ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) [maximum transmission unit] […]
With this post, I want to open a series of articles dedicated to IdentityServer4. We'll start with the basic concepts. The most promising authentication protocol at the moment is OpenID Connect, and the authorization protocol (granting access) is OAuth 2.0. IdentityServer4 implements these two protocols. It is optimized to address typical security issues. OpenID Connect is an authentication protocol and standard; it does not provide […]
Blue Systems, the company providing funding for the development of KWin and Kubuntu, has released the Netrunner 2020.01 distribution featuring the KDE desktop. Unlike the versions developed by the same company, Netrunner Rolling and Maui, this release adopts a traditional approach to building and Debian-based package management, without using a rolling update model based on Arch/Kubuntu. Netrunner differs from Kubuntu in its approach […]
