Trgovinska združenja NCTA, CTIA in USTelecom, ki zastopajo interese ponudnikov interneta, so se obrnila na Kongres ZDA s prošnjo, naj pozornost posveti težavam z uvajanjem "DNS nad HTTPS" (DoH, DNS over HTTPS) ter naj od Googla pridobi podrobne informacije o trenutnih in prihodnjih načrtih za vključitev DoH v svoje izdelke, kot tudi obveznost, da ne vključi centralizirane obdelave privzeto […]
Benjamin Berg, eden od inženirjev Red Hat, ki se ukvarja z razvojem GNOME, je strnil rezultate dela pri prehodu GNOME na upravljanje sej izključno s sredstvi systemd, brez uporabe postopka gnome-session. Za upravljanje prijav v GNOME se že dolgo uporablja systemd-logind, ki spremlja stanja sej v povezavi z uporabnikom, upravlja identifikatorje sej in je odgovoren za preklapljanje med aktivnimi sejami, […]

Poleg tega skupnost dela […]
September is coming to an end, and with it, the calendar of ‘adventures’ of the Fairytale also draws to a close — a set of tasks unfolding at the intersection of the real world and other, virtually-imagined realms. Below, you will find the second part of my personal impressions related to the ‘completion’ of these ‘quests’. The beginning of the ‘adventures’ (events from September 1 to 8) and a brief introduction are described here. The global concept is outlined here. The Fairytale continues on September 9. […]
Looking at the current variety of educational robotics, it's uplifting to see that children have access to a vast array of kits and ready-made products, and that the ‘entry’ bar to the basics of programming has been set relatively low (even down to preschool). There is a growing trend of introducing children first to modular-block programming, followed by a transition to more advanced languages. However, this situation was not always the case. 2009-2010. Russia began the mass […]
For many years, scientists around the world have been engaged in two tasks — inventing and perfecting. And sometimes it is unclear which of these is more challenging. Take, for example, ordinary LEDs, which seem so simple and mundane that we hardly take notice of them. But if you add a bit of excitons, a pinch of polaritons, and tungsten disulfide […]
Let’s start with the news. Yesterday, Yandex.Cloud announced the launch of their serverless computing service, Yandex Cloud Functions. This means: you write only the code for your service (for example, a web application or a chatbot), and the Cloud automatically creates and maintains the virtual machines where it runs, and even replicates them if the load increases. You don’t have to think at all — it's very convenient. And you only pay for the time […]
Introduction This article describes the capabilities and architectural features of the Citrix Cloud platform and the set of Citrix Workspace services. These solutions are central elements and the foundation for implementing the concept of digital workplaces from Citrix. In this article, I tried to analyze and articulate the cause-and-effect relationships between cloud platforms, services, and Citrix subscriptions, the descriptions of which are in the open […]
Kot v Firefoxu tudi v Chrome kmalu načrtujejo prenehanje podpore za protokole TLS 1.0 in TLS 1.1, ki jih organizacija IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) uvršča med zastarele in jih ne priporoča za uporabo. Podpora za TLS 1.0 in 1.1 bo izklopljena v Chrome 81, predvidenem za 17. marec 2020. Po podatkih Googla [>>…]
Izdelani so bili popravni izdaje programskega jezika Ruby 2.6.5, 2.5.7 in 2.4.8, v katerih so bile odpravljene štiri ranljivosti. Najbolj nevarna ranljivost (CVE-2019-16255) se nahaja v standardni knjižnici Shell (lib/shell.rb), ki omogoča izvajanje kode. Pri obdelavi podatkov, prejetih od uporabnika, kot prvi argument metod Shell#[] ali Shell#test, ki se uporabljajo za preverjanje obstoja datoteke, lahko napadalec doseže klic poljubne Ruby metode. Druge [>>…]
Od različice 3.34 GNOME popolnoma prešal na orodje za uporabniške seje systemd. To spremembo je popolnoma transparentno tako za uporabnike kot za razvijalce (podpira se XDG-autostart) — očitno zato je ostala neopažena na LOR. Prej so se samo DBUS-aktivirane seje izvajale s pomočjo uporabniških sej, ostalo pa je opravil gnome-session. Zdaj so se končno znebili te odvečne plasti. Opaženo je, [>>…]
