Автообновления Linux: почему сервер моргает по утрам, а кластер теряет кворум

Ubuntu Server и Debian ставят security-обновления сами, по умолчанию — это не настройка, которую кто-то включил, а поведение из коробки. У механизма два типичных следствия, которые админ месяцами не может опознать.Одиночный сервер «моргает» каждое утро в районе 06:xx на 10–30 секунд: сервис остановлен и тут же запущен, виновного в журнале будто нет, и даунтайм списывают то на сеть, то на GC. Кластер из трёх–пяти узлов, который спокойно переживает падение одного... Read more

Bcachefs после снятия experimental: гоняем тесты на Ubuntu 26.04

Луковичная архитектура: канон и где от него осознанно отступать

Луковичную (onion) архитектуру обычно продают аргументом «легко поменять БД или фреймворк».
