Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) set the floor at 1GB — a modest ask when it launched more than a decade ago in 2014. Then came the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) that pushed the number to 4GB,...

Всё началось на второй паре по системному программированию. Нам дали задачу: написать CLI-утилиту для анализа логов - парсить файл, фильтровать записи по уровню ошибок, считать статистику, выводить красиво в консоль. "Ну понятно", - открыл я vim и началось мое долгое приключение...Неделя. Две. Утилита называлась logz, она умела читать логи nginx и apache, фильтровать по уровню (DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR), по дате, по IP, выводила топ адресов с наибольшим числом ошибок,... Read more ›

Не так давно мы с удовольствием рассуждали, какую портативную консоль из Китая купить, чтобы с большим удовольствием окунуться в ретро-гейминг, и даже больше, показывали варианты и цены. А потом кризис добрался и до них.Сейчас почти все флагманские компании так или иначе сокращают производство, убирают устройства с продажи, поднимают цены и в целом делают всё, чтобы усложнить жизнь простому геймеру.В таком случае что мы делаем?
