These solutions are central elements and the foundation for implementing the digital workspace concept from Citrix. In this article, I attempted to understand and articulate the cause-and-effect relationships between cloud platforms, services, and Citrix subscriptions, the description of which is in the public […]

Creating a stateful skill for Alice using serverless functions of Yandex.Cloud and Python

Let's start with the news. Yesterday, Yandex Cloud announced the launch of its serverless computing service, Yandex Cloud Functions. This means you only write the code for your service (such as a web application or chatbot), and the Cloud itself creates and manages the virtual machines where it runs, even replicating them if the load increases. You don't have to think about it at all; it's very convenient. And you only pay for the time […]

GNOME has transitioned to using systemd for session management

Starting with version 3.34, GNOME has fully transitioned to the systemd user session toolkit. This change is completely transparent to both users and developers (XDG-autostart is supported) — apparently, that’s why it went unnoticed on LOR. Previously, only DBUS-activated sessions were launched using user sessions, while everything else was handled by gnome-session. Now this unnecessary layer has finally been removed. Interestingly, […]

Updates for Ruby 2.6.5, 2.5.7, and 2.4.8 addressing vulnerabilities.

Corrective releases for the Ruby programming language 2.6.5, 2.5.7, and 2.4.8 have been issued, addressing four vulnerabilities. The most critical vulnerability (CVE-2019-16255) is in the standard Shell library (lib/shell.rb), which allows for code injection. If user-provided data is processed as the first argument in the Shell#[] or Shell#test methods used to check for file presence, an attacker could invoke arbitrary Ruby methods. Other […]

Why would you need support service that does not support?

Companies are announcing artificial intelligence in their automation, discussing how they have implemented a couple of cool customer service systems, but when we call technical support, we continue to suffer and listen to the anguished voices of operators with well-rehearsed scripts. You’ve probably noticed that we in IT are much more perceptive and critical of the work of numerous customer support services from service centers, IT outsourcers, auto services, information services […]

OVEN PLC110[M02]-MS4, HMI, OPC, and SCADA, or how much chamomile tea a person needs. Part 1

Good day, dear readers of this article. I am writing this in a review format. A small warning: I want to caution that if you immediately understood what the title refers to, I advise changing the first point (the PLC core itself) to anything from the pricing category one level higher. No savings are worth the amount of nerves it takes, subjectively speaking. For those who are not intimidated by a little gray hair and […]

Overall, it is believed that this update will not bring significant changes to the operating system and will serve as something akin to a regular service pack.
