#nginx is one of the most recognised (not necessarily attributed...) products of Russian IT industry, powering most of the Internet as we know today.

Today police raidet Nginx office in Moscow due to a Russian portal Rambler filing a copyright violation claim on Nginx code.

How surprising! ;) https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/z3bbq4/podcast-livestreams-hacked-ring-cameras-nulledcast #amazon #privacy #ring

Tested the #Ethereum ENS, which is a name resolution protocol that lives fully in the ETH blockchain and allows using names like webcookies.eth instead of hex addresses. There's also DNS -> ENS feature that imports DNSSEC-protected ETH addresses declared in regular DNS (currently only .xyz TLD).

If you're using MetaMask or other ENS enabled wallet, you can try to enter webcookes.eth or webcookies.xyz in the Send form (no need to send anything) and you'll see it resolved into my 0xDA... address.
