Hello Habr! Data sets for Big Data and machine learning are growing exponentially, and we need to keep up with processing them. Our post is about yet another innovative technology in the field of high-performance computing (HPC) demonstrated at the Kingston booth at Supercomputing-2019. This involves the use of Hi-End storage systems (SDS) in servers with graphics processors (GPU) and GPUDirect bus technology […]
Translation Note: We present a translation of an article by a senior application security engineer at the British company ASOS.com. He begins a series of publications aimed at improving security in Kubernetes through the use of seccomp. If readers enjoy the introduction, we will follow the author and continue with his upcoming materials on this topic. This article is the first in a series of publications on how […]
Support for Windows 7 will end on January 14th. This means that no more patches or security updates will be released for the operating system. To avoid security issues, users of the outdated platform are advised to upgrade to the latest versions of Microsoft OS. Windows 7 was released for sale on October 22, 2009, and quickly became a leading operating system […]
The release of the HAL 2.0 (Hardware Analyzer) project has been published, developing an integrated environment for analyzing connection lists (netlists) of digital electronic circuits. The system is being developed by several German universities, coded in C++, Qt, and Python, and distributed under the MIT license. HAL allows you to view and analyze schematics in a GUI and manipulate them using scripts in Python. In the scripts, you can […]
Welcome everyone to my ‘survival’ under Windows Server without a file explorer. Today, I will test regular programs for this unusual Windows. I will start from the beginning. When the computer powers on, the standard Windows loading screen appears, but after loading, the desktop does not open; instead, the command line comes up and nothing more. Uploading files from the internet via the command line since there are no other ways to load files after […]
We still have a strategy that we adhere to — for the second consecutive year, we finish at the top among companies. There isn't any specific recipe or secret ingredient; it's daily work that delivers results. Just like in the gym, when you don't slack off. Below, we analyze the blog activity over the past 4 years. All calculations in this publication are based on […]
The release of the multi-purpose DBMS ArangoDB 3.6 has been announced, offering flexible storage models for documents, graphs, and key-value data. Interaction with the database is conducted via an SQL-like query language, AQL, or through specific extensions in JavaScript. The data storage methods comply with ACID requirements (atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability), support transactions, and ensure both horizontal and vertical scalability. Database management […]
Hello everyone. This article is aimed at those who have a lot of MikroTik devices in their inventory and want to maximize unification to avoid connecting to each device individually. In this article, I will describe a project that, unfortunately, did not make it to production due to human factors. In short: over 200 routers, quick setup, and staff training, […]
Using virtual machines on Linux in Hyper-V straight out of the box is somewhat less comfortable than working with guest Windows machines. This is mainly because Hyper-V was originally not designed for desktop use; you can't just install the guest additions package and get functional graphics acceleration, clipboard sharing, shared directories, and other conveniences, as you would […]
Hello, readers of Habr. We have some very pleasant news to share. We have finally anticipated the actual serial release of the new generation of Russian processors, Elbrus 8C. The official serial production was supposed to start back in 2016, but in reality, mass production only began in 2019, and to date, about 4,000 processors have already been manufactured. Almost immediately after the start of serial production […]
A collection of charts and results from various studies along with brief annotations. I love these graphs because they stimulate the mind, although I also understand that this is more about conceptual theories than statistics. In short, the computational power necessary for training AI is increasing seven times faster than before, according to OpenAI. So we are getting further away from the 'Big Brother' […]
New BlackArch Linux builds have been released, a specialized distribution for security research and system vulnerability studies. The distribution is based on the Arch Linux package base and includes over 2400 security-related utilities. The supported package repository is compatible with Arch Linux and can be used in standard Arch Linux installations. The builds are prepared as a 13 GB Live image […]
