🟩 OpenBLD.net v8 is here – Cache Warming, UNIX Sockets, and More! 🚀

Excited to introduce the next milestone in the evolution of the open DNS service OpenBLD.net! Here’s what’s new:

• Speed – UNIX sockets + Caching + Load Balancing
• Efficiency – Port reuse allows multiple instances to run on the same port
• Load Balancing – Zero logs (except for errors) for maximum performance
• Memory Optimization – The core binaries take up just 6MB, with the cache stored in binary form, totaling only 11MB
• Buffered Disk Writes – When necessary, writes go through dedicated buffers (tested at 10 million entries in 3.3 seconds)
🔥 Cache Warming – Thousands of domains are preloaded to keep the cache hot, ensuring ultra-fast DNS responses
🔐 Security – Supports Prometheus, SIEM, and Syslog exports for advanced monitoring (for business usage needs)

New mechanisms unlock new possibilities—helping you maintain cyber hygiene, save time, and protect your privacy.

Stay safe. Stay free. Peace to all! ✌️

🧠 OpenBLD.net - ML Predictive Balancing Coming

This is undoubtedly an innovation. OpenBLD.net smart balancing service is now a separate project, introducing key features:

► Detects slow servers before they start lagging
► If an upstream server shows an increase in timeouts or errors → ML predicts potential failures and automatically prepares backup routes before the infrastructure starts "firing"
► Based on historical data, ML knows when servers experience peak loads (e.g., during lunch hours or at the end of the workday)
► Instead of reacting to downtime, it distributes traffic efficiently in advance
► Reduces latency and timeouts by proactively optimizing traffic distribution
► And much more, including environmental factors such as server energy consumption optimization

The balancer operates like a living organism, learning and adapting to conditions on its own)

How does this benefit users?

🚀 More autonomy and focus on your own development.
⚡ More speed.

📢 This week, the updated balancers will be seamlessly integrated into ADA’s infrastructure—the only thing you might notice is the increased speed.

✌️ Stay fast, stay optimized!
