How do you feel about your boss? What do you think of him? Sweetheart and darling? A tyrant? A real leader? A total nerd? A complete idiot? Oh God, what a man! I counted – I’ve had twenty bosses in my life. Among them were department heads, deputy directors, general directors, and business owners. Naturally, each can be assigned some specific description, not always polite. Some have left […]

The project's code is distributed under the GPLv2 license. PowerDNS Authoritative Server allows for storing information about domains in […]
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 […]
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, […]

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. […]

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 […]
