In Search of LD_PRELOAD

This note was written in 2014, but I was just under repression on Habr and it did not see the light of day. During my ban, I forgot about it, but now I found it in my drafts. I thought about deleting it, but maybe it will be useful to someone. In general, a small Friday admin read on the topic of finding 'enabled' LD_PRELOAD. 1. A brief digression for […]

What the idea is worth and how to turn it into a concept: tools for a game designer

"An idea is worth nothing" — this mantra is likely familiar to every game designer. What matters are the concept and execution. It is only on paper or on a computer screen that an idea begins to take on meaning and form. I wondered: are there any basic principles for transforming an idea into a concept? Inside is a translation with a brief theory and practical advice for everyone who is waiting […]

Mozilla will switch from IRC to Matrix and add a second DNS-over-HTTPS provider in Firefox

Mozilla has decided to switch to a decentralized communication service for developers, built using the open Matrix platform. The Matrix server will be hosted using the Modular.im hosting service. Matrix is recognized as optimal for Mozilla developers' communication, as it is an open project not tied to centralized servers or proprietary developments, uses open standards, ensures end-to-end encryption, supports search, and provides unlimited […]

WE are not Aihor hosting. Or how to spit in the face of the industry

Hello, I haven't slept for two days. I am an IT marketer in every sense: an IT specialist who moved into marketing. I have several projects where I help with promotion, including online advertising, SEO, content, etc. And a few of my side projects have been under a copper basin for over 30 hours now. It's a nightmare that has happened in real life. And […]

TP-Link Switch Testing with Long Range PoE. And a bit about upgrading old models

Previously, in our switches, we developed Power over Ethernet technology solely in the direction of increasing the transmitted power. However, during the operation of PoE and PoE+ solutions, it became apparent that this was not enough. Our clients face not only a lack of energy budget but also the standard limitation of Ethernet networks — a transmission distance of 100 m. In this article […]

The Post-Futurism We Deserve

The era of post-futurism began 110 years ago. In 1909, Filippo Marinetti published the manifesto of futurism, proclaiming the cult of the future and the destruction of the past, a pursuit of speed and fearlessness, and a denial of passivity and fear. We decided to kick off the next phase and chatted with several good people about how they envision the year 2120. Disclaimer. Dear friend, be prepared. This will be long […]
