Snowfall in central Russia has been scarce this winter. While some snow has fallen, January has seen a lack of the colder, snowier weather one might expect. The dull grayness and unpleasant slush detract from the joy of usual winter pastimes. Therefore, Cloud4Y suggests adding a bit of snow to our lives by talking about… snowflakes.

We often have to work with SSL certificates. Let's recall the process of creating and installing a certificate (in general terms for most cases).
