Translator's note: This excellent material from Okta clearly and simply explains the principles of how OAuth and OIDC (OpenID Connect) work. This knowledge will be useful for developers, system administrators, and even "regular users" of popular web applications, who are likely also exchanging confidential data with other services. In the "stone age" of the internet, sharing information between services was easy. You just [...]

Enthusiast Jay Doscher developed the Raspberry Pi Recovery Kit, which theoretically is capable of surviving the end of the world while remaining fully operational. Jay took available electronic components and encased them in a protected waterproof housing impervious to physical damage. There’s also a copper foil casing to shield against electromagnetic radiation. Some components were printed using a 3D printer. […]
Task History Small-sized companies, on one hand, need quality monitoring of their infrastructure (especially in light of widespread virtualization), but on the other hand, it's financially challenging for them to purchase new equipment. There are also often issues with server/hardware: typically, 1-3 tower servers sit next to user workstations or in a small niche/crawl space. It’s simpler to use an existing build (distribution), […]
