Surely you know what a backup is, right? It is what we could also call a “safety copy“.

What are they for? Simply put, to restore the original information that you had, of course, after having lost it by accident in some misfortune or careless incident.
14 years old, our beloved monitoring software is already 14 years old! Pandora FMS enters adolescence and does it with more friends than acne, with more achievements than voice changes and with more future ideas than problems at school. 14 years which are celebrated quickly with a cake and which fade, even faster, in the wake of congratulations on the day of its birthday. However, those years, so easy to count, carry weight and are remembered, with love and consequence.
The issue of network baseline arose quite some time ago. Everything started from the understanding that networks are not static entities, but are a set of elements that change over time.

If there is still a reason why you have a post-it covering the webcam of your laptop, if you have not yet had the audacity to delve into the deep web despite all the mysteries they say it contains, if you only enter the Internet in incognito mode, sitting in your armchair with a blindfold: then you’re worried about one thing: safety. Today, in our blog, we will discuss Web browser security. Which are the safest? Is there life beyond Google Chrome?
It has taken much longer than usual for the CentOS team to provide us with a new version of their operating system; however, the wait is over. The new CentOS 8 is here.

For those unfamiliar with Red Hat, Red Hat offers open source, enterprise-oriented software solutions with enterprise-level support.
I remember with some nostalgia the five-and-a-quarter-inch floppy disks, and then the more robust three-and-a-half-inch floppy disks. I shouldn’t even write the word rigid anymore, but you’ve got me: it’s for younger people to ask: “But how many kinds of disk are there?
Our day to day is a constant investigation.
