The Nextcloud project, a developing fork of the open-source cloud storage ownCloud, has introduced the new Nextcloud Hub platform, which provides a self-sufficient solution for organizing team collaboration among employees and teams working on various projects. In terms of functionality, Nextcloud Hub is similar to Google Docs and Microsoft 365, but it allows for the deployment of a fully controlled collaboration infrastructure that operates on its own servers and is not tied to external […]
Three popular plugins for the WordPress content management system, with over 400,000 installations, have revealed critical vulnerabilities: A vulnerability in the InfiniteWP Client plugin, which has over 300,000 active installations, allows unauthorized access as a site administrator.

Mentally detach yourself from the usual perspective on work — both yours and the company's. I invite you to consider the flow of money within the company. You, your neighbors, your boss — we all stand in the path of money. We are used to seeing money in the form of tasks. You might not think of them as money. If you are a programmer, then […]
Some time ago, we introduced you to a smart thermostat. This article was initially intended to demonstrate its firmware and management system. However, to explain the logic behind the thermostat and what we have implemented, it is essential to outline the entire concept as a whole. Regarding automation, automation can be conditionally divided into three categories: Category 1 — individual “smart” devices. You […]
According to a tweet from an organization employee (Chris Hartjes), Mozilla has recently laid off 70 workers (out of a total of 1000), including all lead designers from Mozilla Quality Assurance, whose main responsibilities include testing new features and fixing bugs. In response, a hashtag #MozillaLifeboat was launched by the laid-off employees on Twitter, allowing them to share […]

In 2012, 59% of all open projects were licensed under copyleft licenses such as GPL, LGPL, and AGPL, while the share of permissive licenses like MIT, Apache, and […]
Is there anyone among us (Ceph users) who doesn't love 'professional extremism'? Doubtful — otherwise, we wouldn't be engaged with this incredibly interesting and fun product. Many who have worked with Ceph have encountered one not-so-common (perhaps even very rare) use case — connecting Ceph via iSCSI or FC. Why? […]
Two years ago, I published a series of articles on creating a web server based on Debian 8 and running Nextcloud 11 on it. A few months later, an addendum was released containing "differential" information on installing Nextcloud 13 on Debian 9. At the end of 2018, I simply updated Debian and Nextcloud and did not encounter any unusual or interesting […]
"The greatest of all programming languages" — Alan Kay, "on Lisp" When McCarthy developed Lisp in the late 1950s, it was radically different from existing languages, the most notable of which was Fortran. Lisp embodied nine new ideas: 1. Conditional Statements (Conditionals). Conditional statements are the if-then-else construct. We now take them for granted. They were invented by McCarthy during […]
