In the first part, I briefly talked about the assembly itself, which allows you to build a computer that can run unRAID to create a NAS and MikroTik RouterOS in a KVM virtual machine as a replacement for a regular router.

Introduction When developing under Linux, there are tasks related to creating interactive scripts that execute when the system starts or shuts down. This was straightforward in System V, but systemd makes it a bit more complex. However, it has its own timers. What are targets?

Why 17, you might ask? Because my journey in IT began exactly 17 years ago. For the last decade, I have been working at 'Infosystems Jet', where my professional development took place. But today I will not talk about the twists and turns of corporate life, but rather about self-education and the literature that has helped me throughout these years. The first necessity for conscious self-organization […]
