Антивирусы в Linux, хоть и обитают в основном на серверах, перестали быть диковинкой. И, в отличие от Windows, не сращиваются с операционной системой, а работают как отдельностоящие программы с невысокими привилегиями. Подход со сканированием в «песочнице» напрашивается сам собой. А Qubes OS, наряду с Docker-контейнерами и полновесными виртуальными машинами, подходит для этого очень хорошо. Играть в кубики Read more ›

As one of the last bastions of archival history, that is, in case you're not aware, not very good for... Read more ›

Ahead of its upcoming IPO, SpaceX announced that Google will pay the company $920 million per month for access to roughly 110,000 Nvidia GPUs and related compute infrastructure. Google says the agreement is short-term "bridge capacity" to meet stronger-than-expected demand for Gemini Enterprise, while SpaceX is using deals like this and its Anthropic contract to bolster its pitch for a historic public offering. TechCrunch reports: The deal is similar in... Read more ›

A security researcher says evidence suggests the U.S. military has been using an obscure GPS message field for nearly 20 years to broadcast encrypted key-distribution data, effectively turning GPS satellites into a global "numbers station." The hidden-looking 176-bit messages appear tied to the Pentagon's Over-the-Air Distribution system for remotely updating cryptographic keys, meaning ordinary GPS receivers may have been receiving the traffic all along without anyone outside the military noticing....
