This is a hand-drawn adventure detective game that tackles the theme of growing up. The game is set in the sleepy town of Arthurton. Players can expect many memorable challenges […]
At the end of each interview, candidates are asked if they have any questions left. According to a rough estimate from my colleagues, 4 out of 5 candidates ask about the team size, what time to arrive at the office, and less frequently about the equipment. Such questions work in the short term because, after a couple of months, they care less about the quality of the gear and more about the team atmosphere, the number of meetings […]

Today, we will begin our study of routing using the OSPF protocol. This topic, along with the review of the EIGRP protocol, is one of the most important in the entire CCNA course. As you can see, section 2.4 is titled "Configuration, verification, and troubleshooting of single-area and multi-area OSPFv2 for IPv4 (excluding authentication, filtering, manual route summarization, redistribution, stub areas, virtual links, and LSA)."

Git and the package manager are integrated into the file manager. Public Wi-Fi networks do not work. Disappointment with Python. Last week, I discovered Haiku, surprisingly a good system. And […]
A classic once wrote that happy people do not count the hours. In those wild times, there were neither programmers nor Unix, but nowadays programmers know for sure: instead, cron will keep track of time for them. Command-line utilities are both my weakness and my routine. sed, awk, wc, cut, and other old programs are run by scripts on our servers daily. Many […]
