Almost half of the traffic to root DNS servers is caused by Chromium activity.

The registrar APNIC, responsible for the distribution of IP addresses in the Asia-Pacific region, has published the results of an analysis of traffic distribution on one of the root DNS servers a.root-servers.net. 45.80% of the queries to the root server were related to checks performed by browsers based on the Chromium engine. Thus, almost half of the resources of root DNS servers are spent on performing diagnostic checks for Chromium rather than processing requests from DNS servers during […]

I share from personal experience where and when it was useful. A general overview and bullet points to clarify what can be explored further — but this is based solely on my subjective personal experience, yours may be quite different.

Life in 2030

Frenchman Fabrice Grinda has always loved taking risks — he has successfully invested in hundreds of companies: Alibaba, Airbnb, BlaBlaCar, Uber, and even the Russian equivalent of Booking — the service Oktogo. He has a special intuition for trends and the potential future. Monsieur Grinda not only invested in others' businesses but also created his own. For example, the online classifieds platform OLX, which is used by [...]

Introduction to the Networking Component of Cloud Infrastructure

Cloud computing is increasingly infiltrating our lives, and there is probably no one who hasn't used some cloud services at least once. However, what exactly is the cloud and how does it work?

So, so, so, and no ticking. How do Intel Core processors of different generations differ based on the same architecture?

With the emergence of Intel's seventh-generation Core processors, it became clear to many that the 'Tick-Tock' strategy that Intel had been following was flawed. The promise to reduce the technological process from 14 to 10 nm remained just a promise, leading to a long 'Tock' era of Skylake, during which Kaby Lake (the seventh generation) occurred, along with the sudden Coffee Lake (the eighth) with minimal changes to the process technology [...]
