A Man with Four "N's" or Soviet Nostradamus

Friday. I suggest we talk about one of the best Soviet science fiction writers, in my opinion. Nikolai Nikolaevich Nosov holds a special place in Russian literature. Unlike many others, he is increasingly remembered as time passes. He is one of the few authors whose books were genuinely read (voluntarily read!) and fondly remembered by the entire population of the country. Moreover, while Soviet classics are barely […] acknowledged today.

Девушка, в мрачноватом настроении, сидела на постели и читала распечатку второго собеседования. — Пришел доиграть? – предположила она. — Ага, — с радостью подтвердил пилот. — Ладья h9-a9-тау-12. — Пешка d4-d5-альфа-5. — Как все прошло, по […]

What is Zero Trust? The Security Model

Zero Trust is a security model developed by former Forrester analyst John Kindervag in 2010. Since then, the Zero Trust model has become the most popular concept in cybersecurity. Recent mass data breaches only confirm the need for companies to pay more attention to cybersecurity, and the Zero Trust model might prove to be the right approach.

Experience in creating the first Arduino robot (the 'hunter' robot)

A link to the final code (which is probably not the most perfect) is provided at the end of the article. […]

Shorts Belokamentsev

Those who had stopped reading have started to return, branding […]

The implementation of telemetry in GitLab is postponed

Following a recent attempt to enable telemetry, GitLab predictably faced negative reactions from users. This forced them to temporarily withdraw changes to the user agreement and take a pause in search of a compromise solution. GitLab promised not to enable telemetry in the GitLab.com cloud service and self-sufficient editions for now. Furthermore, GitLab intends to first discuss future rule changes with the community before implementing them […]
