We have activated the SSL/TLS certificate that allows you to access the saltos.org website using a secure communication protocol.

This night, we have updated our DDNS system that we are using in the SaltOS Project, we have migrated the service offered from the NO-IP to the service offered by Duck DNS. The main difference is that in NO-IP, the configuration application must be accessed every 22~23 days to renew the service. They send automatically an email before de end of the service to reminder the renew action, but on some occasion we have not received this email and the service has been blocked, losing access to the demos…

I have long wondered if I do well doing free software or if it is simply a way of doing the idiot. For some people, making free software is giving away work and knowledge, but by this, if we do not make knowledge free, then we will be promoting a society where only those who have money can access to the knowledge, from my thought, totally wrong, although many people promote this type of things without knowing what they are promoting. Is a lot of curious, when you have children, then we teach…

From the November 17, 2014, the access to the Google's API v1 and v2 services have stopped working forcing all developers to migrate their code to the new API v3 (https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/php/). In SaltOS, like other applications, we had to make this change and it makes everything work. Previously, access to the service could be obtained using the user+password for the service account. Currently this no longer works well, but must obtain a token that will allow us to use…

SaltOS has experienced several transformations since I began the development. Here I show some screenshots where you can see how it all started...

Some time ago I use JQuery-UI to do the user interfaces of my applications. From the beginning, SaltOS has incorporated the 24 themes predefined in the ThemeRoller application. These themes are practical and the colors are well combined, but I detect a problem in SaltOS: JQuery-UI defines styles for the Header, Content, Default, Hover, Active, Highlight and Error classes (among others) and when I make a list or a menu as in SaltOS, using multiple classes to mark the odd and even rows, to program…

Since PHP 5.3.9, has been added max_input_vars configuration directive which limits the number of variables that can get for $_GET, $_POST and $_COOKIE. This has led to applications using forms with many input type checkbox / hidden / text, may have problems in receiving data loss from the server. This directive basically mitigates the possibility of denial of service attacks using hash collisions. Therefore, it may happen that in some hostings this variable exists and is restricted to its default…

After several business transactions that have led to MySQL from one side to another, finally now owned by Oracle (company dedicated to commercialize other proprietary DBMS). From my point of view (I don't know if this expression is correct in english!!!), these facts have led to the MySQL open source project to live an overall deterioration since this database management system (DBMS) currently offers a very low yield, which is latent in SaltOS when the system has a large number of data. The tests…

Desktop Notifications is a feature defined and used by Google (with Google Chrome and GMail products) for displaying notifications integrated in the user's own desktop when an event occurs. SaltOS, also adds support to redirect notifications that appear within the application to the user's desktop. For example: when receiving a new mail, a new post or just trigger a calendar alarm, SaltOS shown in the user's desktop a message indicating the event.

Introduction:   The Cloud Computing, also called nuve computing is the term used to discuss the concept of having the applications from the Internet.   To understand the difference between Cloud Computing and the traditional model, explain some parts of the brief history of computing: At the beginning of the computer, applications running on servers and users operating terminals (also called dumb terminals) and had no specific functionality. Were connected to the server…

Introduction:   POP (Post Office Protocol) and IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) are two protocols that allow access to mail folders incoming mail server (not allow sending mail). We can refer to POP with POP3 (latest version) and IMAP with IMAP4. These protocols are supported by most existing mail servers.   Advantages and disadvantages of POP3 vs. IMAP4:   The number of transactions is low, which is efficient. No correlation between the mailing list with the identifiers…
