Not long ago, we implemented a solution on a Windows terminal server. As usual, we created shortcuts for employees on their desktops and said — get to work. But the users were quite intimidated by Cybersecurity. Upon connecting to the server and seeing messages like: "Do you trust this server? Are you sure?", they panicked and turned to us — is everything okay, can we […]
The most interesting thing that has happened to the writing profession over the last couple of decades is the so-called "online literature." A few years ago, writers gained the opportunity to earn money from their literary work without the mediation of publishing houses, working directly with readers. I briefly discussed this in the article "Writers Pro«. In this regard, one can only repeat after the son of a Turkish subject: "A dream came true […]
Version 7.0 of the SU2 project has been introduced — an open solver for Navier-Stokes equations. Change log: a new nonlinear iteration controller for improved robustness and convergence; enhancements for the lift force calculation mode (Cl=const); new features for Discrete Adjoint; a report on the quality of the computational grid; a "dry run" launch capability to check the operability of input files; modifications for the SST turbulence model; changes in […]
After a month of attempts and 252 deaths, YouTube user Super Louis 64 successfully completed Halo 3 on legendary difficulty using only a Guitar Hero controller. In a 22-minute video, Super Louis 64 showcases highlights from his Halo completion. It mostly consists of deaths that occurred before he could reach his impressive goal. […]
On November 26, 2019, a new version of Kali Linux was released — a Debian testing-based Linux distribution designed for security auditing. The distribution includes tools that can be used for network testing, unauthorized access to data or network services, and disrupting their operation. It can also be useful for investigating violations […]
After three months of development, the release of systemd 244 is presented. Key changes: Support for the cpuset resource controller based on cgroups v2 has been added, providing a mechanism for binding processes to specific CPUs (setting "AllowedCPUs") and NUMA memory nodes (setting "AllowedMemoryNodes"); Support for loading settings from the EFI variable SystemdOptions for systemd configuration has been added, allowing configuration of systemd's behavior in situations where it is problematic […]
Mozilla has released the third version of its mobile browser, Firefox Preview, which includes a number of new features. Reports indicate that the new version is now safer and easier to use. Among the features of the new version is an enhanced protection against data collection by websites. Links now open in private tabs by default, and the browser history can be automatically cleared upon exit. [ … ]
The creation and development of devices for non-volatile digital data storage has been ongoing for many decades. A major breakthrough occurred just less than 20 years ago with NAND memory, although its development started about 20 years earlier. Today, about half a century after the beginning of large-scale research, production, and continuous efforts to improve NAND, this type of memory is close to [ … ]
ghostinushanka, having been mashing buttons for the past 20 minutes as though his life depended on it, turns to me with a half-wild look in his eyes and a sly grin — "Dude, I think I’ve got it." "Check this out," he says, pointing to one of the symbols on the screen — "I bet my red hat that if we add [ … ]

It is hard to dispute the claim that nature possesses the most vivid imagination. Each representative of flora and fauna has its unique, and sometimes even bizarre traits that often confuse us. Take, for instance, the mantis shrimp. This predatory creature can attack its prey or adversary with its powerful claws at a speed of 83 km/h, and [ … ]
Among the changes: new logo; services can now be bound to CPU through cgroup v2, i.e., support for cpuset cgroups v2; it is now possible to define a signal for service restart (RestartKillSignal); systemctl clean now works for units of type socket, mount, and swap; systemd now attempts to read configuration from the EFI SystemdOptions variable as an alternative to changing kernel parameters from the bootloader; systemd cancels […]
