PoE over distances of 200+ meters. Monitoring and automatic restart of PoE clients

Posted on

In my experience, powering a device and getting an image from it at a considerable distance from the switch turned out to be quite challenging. Especially when multiple cameras are connected with networks at different distances from a single device. Any moderately complex device tends to hang periodically. Some do so less often, while others more frequently, and this is a given. Most often, this is resolved… right… with this: […]

Archive of physics problems for school Olympiads.

Posted on

After many years of working in schools, I have created a database of physics problems for preparing for Olympiads. Problems can be searched by relevant topics, levels, and grades. Then they can be sent for printing, or shared via a link with students. And although I am no longer working in schools, I decided that it would be a shame for the good to go to waste. The site is free of ads and other monetization. If you are a teacher […]

Upgrade for the lazy: how PostgreSQL 12 boosts performance

Posted on

PostgreSQL 12, the latest version of the 'world's best open-source relational database,' is set to be released in a couple of weeks (if all goes according to plan). This fits with the usual schedule — a new version with a host of new features comes out once a year, and honestly, it's impressive. That's why I became an active member of the PostgreSQL community.
