"I love these machines," writes long-time Slashdot reader Shayde:
I was super-active in the Unix-PC Usenet groups back in the 90s... We hacked the hell out of them. They were small, sexy, and... they ran Unix!
Unfortunately, they were a commercial failure. There were so many things wrong with them — not just stuff that broke, but the baseline configuration was nigh on worthless. I recently was able to get another machine and got it up and running (with a few hiccups). I whipped up a video showing all the

Привет! Меня зовут Рома. С 2023 года я отвечаю за технику и архитектуру дизайн-системы в Туту, а с 2025 — возглавляю саму команду. За это время я понял: дизайн-система — это сложный и местами болезненный компромисс между кодом, дизайном и бизнесом. Написать гибкие компоненты и собрать UI-кит — лишь 20% успеха. Остальные 80% — это долгие детальные переговоры и поиск точек соприкосновения. Продуктовые команды тоже хотят делать качественный продукт, но... Read more ›

Привет, Хабр!Есть RustDesk-инфраструктура: rendezvous-сервер (hbbs) для NAT traversal и relay (hbbr) для проброса трафика, когда P2P не получился. И есть свой UDP-транспорт реального времени для видео (у меня это EVRT), который хочется гнать напрямую между пирами, минуя relay — ради задержки.

Представьте, что вы едете в ночном поезде. Чтобы гарантированно выйти на нужной станции, придется не спать всю ночь и внимательно отслеживать остановки. Свою станцию вы не пропустите, но сойдете с поезда уставшим. Другой способ: узнать из расписания предполагаемое время прибытия поезда, поставить будильник на нужное время с небольшим запасом и лечь спать. Этого вполне достаточно, чтобы не пропустить свою станцию, но, если поезд задержится, пробуждение окажется слишком ранним. Идеальным решением... Read more ›
