Inflation, Prices and Distributive Conflict
A political economy perspective for public debate Introduction Inflation has returned to the centre of public debate in the 2020s. In public discourse it is often described as a technical problem: excessive money creation, supply shocks, or temporary imbalances between demand and production. These explanations are not incorrect, but they are incomplete. They overlook a…

Unbound on Windows: how I installed it, how I configure it, and why I choose it over AdGuard Home and Technitium
Introduction In my infrastructure, I decided to deploy Unbound as the primary DNS resolver on Windows,prioritizing true recursion, privacy, full control over DNS resolution flow, and a minimal attack surface. I evaluated widely used solutions such as AdGuard Home and Technitium DNS, but after an in-depth technical analysis I concludedthat Unbound is superior when the…

Inflation and Real Wages in Argentina: Competing Paradigms and Lessons from Stabilization
When prices rise faster than wages, purchasing power falls. This observation, while obvious, does not exhaust the problem. What truly matters is understanding why this dynamic repeats itself systematically in Argentina, even during periods of economic growth or temporary stabilization. Behind the statistics lies a fundamental theoretical dispute: how are wages actually determined in an…

The Chasm between Code and Documentation: Reducing Operational Friction through Automation with mkexport
Abstract The management of technical documentation in software engineering projects frequently suffers from high operational friction. This article analyses the disconnect between the authoring format (Markdown) and consumption formats (PDF, HTML, DOCX), a situation exacerbated by the security constraints of contemporary operating systems. The implementation of mkexport, an abstraction utility built on top of Pandoc,…

OJS and OPS in Public and Private Universities: History, Foundations, Advantages, Challenges, Leading Journals, Networks, Market and Future
1. History of OJS and OPS: Infrastructure for Returning Science to the Community The development of Open Journal Systems (OJS) and Open Preprint Systems (OPS) is inseparable from a historical shift in scholarly communication. For decades, academic journals were locked behind paywalls and controlled by large commercial publishers that monopolized access to scientific knowledge. When…

Limitations of Technitium, Pi-hole, and AdGuardHome in Modern DNS Infrastructure: Analysis and Real-World Solutions
1. Introduction: Why DNS Is Changing The DNS ecosystem has evolved rapidly due to technologies like HTTP/3, QUIC, and SVCB/HTTPS records (RR65).These new mechanisms change how browsers and operating systems query the network,increasing both complexity and query volume.The consequence is clear: traditional home resolvers are no longer enough. As I explains in“Optimization of DNS Resolvers…

Optimization of DNS Resolvers in the HTTP/3 Era: Mitigating the Impact of HTTPS (SVCB) Queries on Cache Performance
Click here for the Spanish version The massive adoption of HTTP/3 and QUIC has profoundly reshaped the profile of DNS traffic. Modern browsers and operating systems generate an increasing volume of HTTPS queries (Type 65) intended to discover service parameters before establishing new connections. In local recursive resolvers—such as Unbound—this behavior exposes a structural inefficiency:…
