Noticed how in Gmail or other mail services the logos of big companies — and even a blue checkmark — appear next to their messages?
It’s not just pretty — it’s the result of BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification).
With BIMI your message looks professional, inspires trust, and stands out in a crowded inbox. 😎
In this article we’ll cover what BIMI is, why it matters, and how to set it up step by step so your logo appears next to your emails. Let’s go! 🚀

Congratulations! You just set up your web server (LAMP, LEMP, or something else) and are ready to build awesome websites. You have an operating system, a web server, a programming language, but one important puzzle piece remains — the database. Managing it without a convenient tool is like fixing a car without a wrench. 😅
If you use MySQL or MariaDB, you’ve probably heard of phpMyAdmin and Adminer. If you chose PostgreSQL, you also have great options! Let’s figure out which tool to choose so working with your database is easy and pleasant.

Hello, aspiring web developer! 👋
If you’re just diving into the world of building websites, you’ve probably already heard of LAMP and LEMP. These acronyms sound like something out of a spy movie, but in reality they are the foundation of most dynamic websites you use every day.
In this article we’ll break down what LAMP and LEMP are, how they differ, where they’re used, and introduce a cool hybrid stack — the Nginx and Apache combo that brings together the best of both worlds.
Ready? Let’s go! 🚀

Introduction
Email remains one of the key tools for communication and business. Many use paid services like Gmail, Outlook or ProtonMail, but there are those who prefer to set up their own mail server. This gives full control over data but requires time and technical skills.
This article examines the pros and cons of both approaches, risks and practical recommendations. The material will be useful for both beginners interested in privacy and specialists seeking an in-depth analysis.

Introduction
Data is the foundation of any business. Where and how you store it affects security, performance, and company growth. Today, entrepreneurs face a strategic choice: use their own equipment (local storage) or rent resources from major providers (cloud storage).
Think of it as choosing between buying a house and renting an apartment. Each option has its pros and cons. Let’s break it down.
🏠 Local Storage: Your Own Digital Home
What is it?
Physical servers in your office. You buy, configure, and maintain them yourself.

Introduction
In this series on file transfer protocols, we’ve already looked at centralized solutions — S3, WebDAV, Rsync.
But there’s a fundamentally different approach — BitTorrent, a decentralized P2P protocol that enables efficient distribution of large files among many users.
BitTorrent became popular thanks to its speed and resilience, especially when working with large volumes of data.
What is BitTorrent?
BitTorrent is a P2P protocol created by Bram Cohen in 2001.

Introduction
In previous articles, we explored different file transfer protocols — from classic FTP and SFTP to modern solutions like S3 and WebDAV.
Now let’s take a closer look at Rsync — a powerful tool and protocol that stands out for its efficiency in synchronizing files and directories.
Rsync is perfect for backups, data synchronization, and automation tasks, thanks to its ability to transfer only the modified parts of files.

Introduction
In previous articles, we covered both classic protocols (FTP, SFTP, SMB) and the modern object storage standard S3.
However, there’s another protocol that combines features of traditional file access with HTTP — WebDAV.
This protocol became popular thanks to its simplicity, universality, and ability to work with files as if they were on a local disk, but over the internet.
What is WebDAV?
WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is an extension of the HTTP protocol, developed in the late 1990s.

Introduction
In previous articles, we looked at classic protocols that work with files and folders.
But with the rise of cloud technologies, a new, more flexible and scalable approach emerged — object storage, and the de facto standard for it became the Amazon S3 protocol.
What is S3 and how is it different?
S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a protocol originally developed by Amazon Web Services (AWS) for cloud storage.
Its success was so great that today the “S3-compatible API” has become an industry standard, supported by dozens of providers (Google Cloud Storage, DigitalOcean Spaces, MinIO, etc.).

Introduction
When it comes to file sharing not over the internet, but within a local network (at the office or at home), other protocols take the stage.
The two main competitors here are: SMB — the king of the Windows world, and NFS — the standard for Unix/Linux.
SMB (Server Message Block) — the language of Windows communication
SMB is a network protocol that provides shared access to files, printers, and other network resources.
If you’ve ever opened a shared folder in Windows — you’ve used SMB.
