Why Mobile Control Panels Matter More Than Ever
Technology has changed the way we interact with the world. Not long ago, managing important online services required sitting down at a desk, opening a computer, and logging in. Today, our phones have become the primary gateway to almost everything — from communication and navigation to shopping and banking. It feels natural that managing crucial web services should follow the same path.
Control panels are no longer just back-office tools. They are the [...]

This is my own personal experience, a story about looking for and finding the best SSH client for my Android phone. My requirements were the following: I was looking for a free SSH client for Android 14 with agent forwarding. By agent forwarding, I mean that I want to be able to connect to a server, and from that server, I want to be able to connect to another server. For that, you need agent forwarding; otherwise, you will [...]
In this post, we'll take you on a historical tour, exploring the evolution of HTTP from its humble beginnings to the cutting-edge HTTP/2. Join us as we unravel the technological advancements that have shaped the way we experience the web today.
The story begins in 1991 with Tim Berners-Lee's vision for a simple protocol to accompany the nascent World Wide Web. HTTP/0.9 was born – a one-line protocol that facilitated the transfer of hypertext documents. Imagine a single ASCII string [...]
Blockchain is an emerging technology that has grown in popularity with innovators and solution architects over the past few years. With real-world use cases that range from the confidential sharing of medical data to supply chain monitoring, this platform offers any organization a secure system to store and retrieve transactional information.
At its core, blockchain is a database. It differs from traditional databases by the method it uses to store and retrieve information. As it records data in virtual blocks, [...]
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a complex and diverse field. In computer science, it refers to numerous technologies and frameworks that encompass an ever-evolving area of specialty. Focusing on creating machines and systems that need no human intervention to perform tasks and make decisions, understanding AI can be overwhelming. Machine learning, speech recognition assistants such as Alexa and Siri, and even the algorithm that recommends movies for you on Netflix are some of the examples we encounter daily. As advances [...]
Microsoft Edge has been around since 2015. However, with the announcement that Microsoft will no longer support Internet Explorer from mid-August 2021, Edge is poised to become the Windows operating system's de-facto web browser. As the world's most widely used operating system, web developers cannot ignore Windows. Ignoring its extensive user base will result in a poor experience for users of this ubiquitous platform.
Currently, Google Chrome is the world's leading browser, with 69% of users utilizing it to access the Internet. [...]
CoAP, the Constrained Application Protocol, allows developers to include simple, constrained devices in modern-day edge computing platforms. With the evolution of networking technologies and the wide-scale rollout of 5G in many parts of the world, the proliferation of solutions that leverage the Internet of Things (IoT) will increase exponentially. However, even with the expected improvement in average network speeds, constrained environments with low bandwidth and availability will exist for the foreseeable future.
Before we can understand the need for CoAP [...]
Data broking is a big business in today's online digitally-driven world. As the world continues to embrace technology to improve efficiency, access knowledge, drive communication, and enhance collaboration, the production of vast quantities of data is either a direct or indirect collateral effect of any digital interaction. In 2017, the Economist stated that data is more valuable than oil. Although it may seem unusual to put a price tag on an intangible asset created by simple online interactions, the [...]
Canonicalization, sometimes referred to as standardization or normalization, is a computer science process that converts data possessing more than one possible presentation into a standardized, normalized, or canonical form. If we had to rephrase that definition in simple terms, it is a method for combining data that has the same content but different labels under one common name. When it comes to Search Engine Optimization (SEO), canonicalization is the process of ensuring the Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) that refer [...]
The Dark Web is a controversial topic that is shrouded in mystery for many regular Internet users. Portrayed in the media as a seedy underground virtual reality where cybercriminals roam free and peddle their illicit wares, this encrypted network has been a newsworthy subject since its rise to infamy during the last decade. Although the Dark Web may appear to be a prohibited playground hosting illegal products and services, one cannot ignore its use in the fight for online [...]
