Why DevOps is necessary and who are DevOps specialists

When an application is not working, the last thing you want to hear from colleagues is the phrase 'the problem is on your side.' Ultimately, users suffer – and they don't care which part of the team is responsible for the failure. The DevOps culture emerged precisely to unite development and support and bring them together around a shared responsibility for the final product. What practices are included in […]

What does it cost us to build a Mesh: how the decentralized internet provider 'Medium' is creating a new Internet based on Yggdrasil

Hello! It may not be a surprise to you that the 'Sovereign Runet' is approaching — the law comes into effect on November 1 this year. Unfortunately, it's not entirely clear how it will operate (or if it will at all): there are no precise instructions for telecom operators available to the public yet. There are also no methods, penalties, plans, […]

Console Roguelike in C++

Introduction "Linux is not for gaming!" — that’s an outdated phrase: many wonderful games have emerged specifically for this remarkable system. However, sometimes, one yearns for something special that fits them perfectly... So I decided to create this special thing. The Basis I won’t show and describe all the code (it’s not very interesting) — just the key points. 1.Character Here […]

Windows 10 can now be reinstalled from the cloud. But with some stipulations.

It seems that the technology for restoring Windows 10 from physical media may soon become a thing of the past. At least, there is hope for that. In the Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18970, the option to reinstall the OS over the network from the cloud has been introduced. This feature is called Reset this PC, and the description indicates that some users prefer to use high-speed Internet connections, […]

CUPS 2.3 printing system released with changes in licensing.

Almost three years after the release of CUPS 2.2, CUPS 2.3 has emerged, which was delayed by more than a year. CUPS 2.3 is a significant update due to the licensing change. Apple decided to re-license the print server under the Apache 2.0 license. However, due to various Linux-specific utilities that are GPLv2 and unrelated to Apple, this creates a problem. […]

Another 4 vulnerabilities in Ghostscript

Two weeks after the discovery of the previous critical issue in Ghostscript, 4 more similar vulnerabilities have been identified (CVE-2019-14811, CVE-2019-14812, CVE-2019-14813, CVE-2019-14817) that allow bypassing the ‘-dSAFER’ isolation mode by creating a link to ‘.forceput’. When processing specially crafted documents, an attacker can access the file system contents and achieve arbitrary code execution on the system (for example, by adding commands to […]

Support for monorepo and multirepo in werf and its connection to Docker Registry

The topic of monorepositories has been discussed multiple times and usually sparks quite active debates. While creating werf as an Open Source tool aimed at improving the processes of building application code from Git into Docker images (and their subsequent delivery to Kubernetes), we have given little thought to which option is better. For us, it is essential to provide everything necessary for supporters of different opinions (if this […]
