Share: Domain Name

A domain name is a website URL, is the address, is your website name where Internet users can find and visit your website. Computers use IP addresses, which are a series of number. However, it is difficult for people to remember. Because of this, domain names were developed and used to identify entities on the Internet rather than using IP addresses.
 
A domain name can be any combination of letters and numbers, and it can be used in combination of the various extensions, such as .com, .net and more.
 
The domain name must be registered before you can use it. Every domain name is unique. If someone types in www.yourdomain.com, it will and only go to your website.
 
Domain names are formed by the rules and procedures of the Domain Name System (DNS). Any name registered in the DNS is a domain name.
 
"Domain names are organized in subordinate levels (subdomains) of the DNS root domain, which is nameless. The first-level set of domain names are the top-level domains (TLDs), including the generic top-level domains (gTLDs), such as the prominent domains: com, info, net, edu, and org, and the country code top-level domains (ccTLDs). Below these top-level domains in the DNS hierarchy are the second-level and third-level domain names that are typically open for reservation by end-users." - Wiki
 
The top-level domains (TLDs) such as com, net and org are the highest level. Top-level domains form the DNS root zone of the hierarchical Domain Name System. Every domain name ends with a top-level domain label. 
 
Below the top-level domains in the domain name hierarchy are the second-level domain (SLD) names. These are the names directly to the left of .com, .net, and the other top-level domains. As an example, in the domain sample.co.us, co is the second-level domain.
 
Next are third-level domains, which are written immediately to the left of a second-level domain. There can be fourth- and fifth-level domains, and so on, with virtually no limitation. Each label is separated by a full stop (dot).

Share: Morse Code

Morse code is a method used in telecommunication to encode text characters as standardized sequences of two different signal durations, called dots and dashes or dits and dahs. Morse code is named after Samuel Morse, an inventor of the telegraph. International Morse Code, also known as Continental Morse Code, encodes the 26 English letters A to Z, some non-English letters, the Arabic numerals and a small set of punctuation and procedural signals (prosigns). There is no distinction between upper and lower case letters. Morse code can be transmitted in a number of ways: as electrical pulses along a telegraph wire, as an audio tone, a radio signal with short and long tones, or as a mechanical, audible, or visual signal e.g. a flashing light  or even a car horn. Some mine rescues have used pulling on a rope, a short pull for a dot and a long pull for a dash. Morse code is transmitted using just two states - on and off. Historians have called it the first digital code. Morse code may be...

How-To: Google Authenticator: Guide to Setup, Backup, and Safe Usage

What is Google Authenticator? Google Authenticator is a free security app from Google that provides two-factor authentication (2FA) codes. Instead of just entering a password, you’ll also need to input a time-based code from the app. This extra step greatly reduces the risk of your account being hacked, even if someone knows your password. Unlike SMS codes, which can be intercepted, Google Authenticator works offline and generates unique codes every 30 seconds directly on your device. Why Use Google Authenticator? Stronger security: Protects against password leaks or phishing. Offline usage: Works without mobile data or Wi-Fi. Multi-account support: You can store codes for multiple accounts (Google, Facebook, Instagram, banking apps, etc.). Free and lightweight: No subscription fees, minimal storage needed. How to Set Up Google Authenticator Step 1: Install the App Download Google Authenticator from:  Google Play Store (Android) Apple App Store (iOS) Step 2: Enable 2FA on Your Acco...

Share: API

An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules and protocols that allow one software application to interact with another. It defines the methods and data formats that applications use to request and exchange information. APIs are used to allow different systems, services, or components to communicate with each other. APIs typically work by defining endpoints (URLs) where one system can send requests, and the system receiving the request processes it and sends a response back. Here's a basic overview of how the process works: 1. Client (Requester): The system (or program) that initiates the request. This could be a user interacting with an app, or a program that needs to fetch data from another service. 2. API Endpoint: An endpoint is a specific URL or URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) on the server that defines where the request should be sent. 3. Request: The client sends an HTTP request to the API endpoint. This can be one of several types: GET: Retrie...
