Slackware Patrick Volkerding created Slackware, a Linux distribution, in 1993. It was based on the Softlanding Linux System and is the oldest distribution maintained. Slackware aims to be the most "Unix-like" Linux distribution in terms of design stability and simplicity. It makes as minimal changes as possible to upstream software packages and aims not to anticipate use cases or preclude user decisions. Slackware, unlike most modern Linux distributions, does not offer automatic dependency resolution of software packages. For setup and management, it relies on plain text files and a small set of shell scripts. Slackware is available for the IA-32 and x86_64 platforms, including an ARM port. Gentoo Linux Gentoo Linux was initially created by Daniel Robbins under the name Enoch Linux. Later, the name "Gentoo" was chosen to reflect the possible performance improvements of machine-specific optimization. The goal of Gentoo Linux was to create a hardware-aware distributio

People are divided into two categories. Those who are hackers and those who aren't. What the news media did to hacker culture in the 1980s is sad. The majority of journalists and politicians at the time lacked technological knowledge and misinterpreted the term "hacking." As a result, everyone now believes that hacking means breaking into computers. Previously, hacking meant learning systems inside out. It meant knowing where things were and what they did. Now it means breaking into computers with the purpose of compromising devices. The hackers at the time tried to differentiate from such people by calling them "crackers", but as we can see today, it didn't succeed and they are still being called hackers. I love hacker culture. The culture is driven by passion rather than money. People can do whatever they want with their devices. The only limitation is one's own creativity. They also advocate for free speech and decentralization. Unfortunately, their f

Online censorship in Estonia I didn't know this, but Estonia has already been blocking gambling websites that have not been approved by EMTA (Maksu- ja Tolliamet) since 2010, with over 1700 domains now on the list Because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Estonia has now begun censoring Russian TV channels and websites. I never expected Estonia to do something like this. I oppose the war and believe it should be ended as soon as possible, but I also despise the idea of censorship. This act of censorship, in my opinion, is unacceptable and may mark the beginning of a period in which filtering content that is not supported by the government is acceptable. We could end up like China, where people have no free will and are only permitted to think what the government wants people to think. Mozilla Firefox and privacy Firefox always advertises itself as being privacy-protective, but this is not the case by default. Firefox makes a lot of background connections by default, which reveal

Estonia is one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world. It is best known for its e-residency, e-voting, e-health, and e-school systems, as well as having the highest number of startups per person. But all of this comes at a price. Because the more services and data that are available online, the greater the risks from cyberattacks. Estonia was the first country to be subjected to a cyber warfare. It happened in 2007, and during the attack, 58 websites went down at the same time. Estonia has learned a lot from this cyberattack and has invested heavily in cybersecurity since then. In 2018, Estonia established a new cybersecurity division called Cyber Command, whose mission is to conduct cybersecurity-related operations. There is also Küberkaitseliit, whic predates Cyber Command and is made up wholly of volunteers. Estonia has a number of policies in place to deal with cyberattacks. It has developed intrusion detection and protection systems, collaborated with both pub

Bad design of monostable shifter When Anton Yelchin's Jeep Cherokee crushed him against a wall in his driveway in 2016, problems with the monostable shifter were brought to light. This accident occurred as a result of Fiat Chrysler implementing a new type of shifter into their vehicles while failing to develop adequate safeguard mechanisms. This shifter was different from what users were used to, and it provided very little feedback. Fiat Chrysler recalled vehicles equipped with this shifter and instructed owners on how to use it properly. They also updated the software so that it would go into park mode when the doors were open. Good design of GNU Emacs GNU Emacs is a 37-year-old text editor that is much more than that. It's so customizable that you can do anything with it, and if it can't yet, you can always extend it to do so. It has a large number of users all over the world who create packages for themselves and others that add new features to the editor. Emacs can man

Qualities of IT professionals In my opinion IT professionals should be: Adaptable and ready to learn IT has never been the same since its beginning and will never be the same again. People should not get stuck in time because work is continuously being done to make IT better than it has ever been. What worked 20 years ago may still work today, but there may be better solutions to solve similar problems. But this doesn't mean that newer tools are always automatically better. Ready to ask for help when needed Not a single person is capable of knowing everything. When something is unknown, then IT professional shouldn't be afraid to ask for help. But the request for help shouldn't be before doing any research. I constantly see duplicate threads online without any clear description in them. It's as if the person writing them didn't even think for a second. Skills of IT professionals What IT professionals should know in my opinion: * Knows many programming and scripting
