As identified by people here, DNS mixup took down Zoom the other day:
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 [] ChatGPT me mencionó #ControlD, #LibreDNS y #DNS0, así que ya tengo para divertirme los findes XL.
Multiple domains leveraging #DNS #tunneling have been probing the Internet for public IPv4/IPv6 resolvers. Lacking TXT/PTR records, the associated DNS traffic is highly suspicious. These #scans began in Jan 2025 and peaked earlier this week. More info at https://bit.ly/4iibcTF
I have been running the new Android #DNS app by @quad9dns for just a few hours and already found one bad offender. My Garmin watch face was phoning home to Dubai several times per hour to https://pay-to-use.com/
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.

Thanks @index for including this in the newsletter! Always nice to see something positive.
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 https://www.freundeprinzhorn.de/index-en.html
We've told many of users to "stay tuned" for news on our #Android app - well, here it is!
Quad9 Connect is now available on F-Droid! If you're new to #FDroid check out our blog post for more information!

heise+ | Vertrauenswürdige E-Mail: Spoofing-Schutz über DNS einrichten
Domain-Inhaber können E-Mail-Spoofing deutlich erschweren, wenn sie über das Domain Name System (DNS) standardisierte Informationen zur Verfügung stellen.
correct HTTPS (SVCB) record support is still a distant dream for Firefox and chrome. So #AWS adding static IPs to cloudfront will be welcome for many customers.
Natch AWS mangles #DNS terms in the announcement, but the feature is good anyways.

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.#WebinarPiF – Alessandro Fiorotto – Tophost, Seeweb – Il nome a dominio, la porta d'accesso al mondo digitale libero
