I'm currently also working on the #powerdns (authoritative) podman plugin impelementation and blocky (#DNS caching) because every good home network needs those things.

I also wrote a pretty opinionated CA #Ansible role that automatically creates and deploys server certificates to all my hosts.

I mean when I automate psql I will have to support TLS out of the box as well, right?

Isn't anybody into those things? I love to have another maintainer for my MMN collection.

Tercer mes al hilo en el que el #DNS #NextDNS me deja a gamba. Muy trucho. :mspoopflame:

Ahora, le toca a #AdGuardDNS. No tiene la cantidad de opciones que NextDNS, pero, por lo menos, espero que sea serio.

̶E̶l̶ ̶i̶n̶o̶d̶o̶r̶o̶ [:catjoy:] ChatGPT me mencionó #ControlD, #LibreDNS y #DNS0, así que ya tengo para divertirme los findes XL. :puppybasketball:

I observed the Zoom outage yesterday in real time when my wife couldn't connect to a meeting and called me in to help troubleshoot. While I didn't do any deep troubleshooting, when I noticed Zoom's main website was also down, I figured there were only a few classes of issue that could cause that kind of outage, DNS being the first.

It turns out it was not only DNS, but it was a Registrar<->TLD issue apparently completely outside of Zoom's control. Scary.

The Register · Daddy of a mistake by GoDaddy took Zoom offline for about 90 minutesBy Simon Sharwood

At our 25th year anniversary party, we asked friends to deliver talks about a subject they are passionate about outside of work #DNS, #routing, #foss, ..
Mirjam gave a talk about #ArtBrut/Outsider Art, which was very well received. Now, one of the collections she talked about, the Collection Prinzhorn, that preserved art even through WWII, is now at risk.
She asked us to raise awareness, and we are inspired to help. Care? Donate or join their association of friends freundeprinzhorn.de/index-en.h

So an update pushed out to stuff.co.nz over the last couple of days has made it pretty much unusable due to additional tracking/surveillance capitalism. Links from front page are not fetchable anymore if you sanitize #DNS / cookies etc #NewZealand #media usual agent switching techniques don't fix it - and it does it across the three browsers I tested.

Update: domain unsuspended!

Porkbun took a dim view of the outcome apparently; overnight they went into bat for me while I slept and have now sorted it with XYZ! I have updated them with the responses from Spamhaus and are going to follow up on that as well. Honestly I am super impressed with Porkbun after this. Faith in (some of) humanity restored. Especially their staff member Steve.


TLDR: Be wary using XYZ owned domains

What a fucking debacle. I purchased a cheap .quest domain to run my xmpp server on for my family and a few close friends. It was on sale, was cheap and I grabbed it.
It lasted less than 24 hours before being suspended by the regsistrar.

Turns out, it ended up on a spamhaus list, and XYZ suspends domains automatically based on that. I have lodged tickets with each, but can't rectify because:
- Spamhaus issues can't be rectified because the domain is locked
- XYZ won't unsuspend because it is still on the Spamhaus blocklist

Chicken and egg. I have tickets with each, and with Porkbun which is where I started.
I get it. It's a fucking great scam to bleed money from spammers when they snap up cheap domains.

I just wanted one to self-host xmpp for my family though, and am now caught up in the loop sadly.

It is extremely unlikely I will purchase any other XYZ owned domains (there are a lot, and some fun ones sadly).

Spamhaus in itself isn't necessarily a bad thing; it is a great tool. But automatically flagging everything listed by it in your registrar? Yeah nah fuck that. XYZ using external blocklists where everything is automatically opted in with no practical recourse is a terrible idea. The same goes for domains, fedi, whatever. There is always collateral damage and it sours it for everyone. It is just a stupid.
