    If a thief is selling your stolen car, would that not be very easy to locate by showing interest in buying it? Am I missing something?

    its funny you call out Mullvad in this specific case because its the one thing i really dislike about their VPN service. It wont route DNS to the root server, or any designated ser…

    For hard cutovers it might be a viable strategy to forward or redurect traffic inbetween changes. That is, either let the old destination forward to the new, or vice versa, then up…

    The recursive resolver you describe would adhere to the same TTL as would do any reasonable public resolver. The difference in cache behaviour, if any, only depends on if the resol…

    24h seems overly excessive but some resolvers may refuse to adhere to arbitrary low TTL and chose to answer with stale records from cache for as long as they deem necessary. 24h ce…

    You can configure the agent to confirm each key usage to have your cake and eat it too. :) It's also good to see if any malicious process tries to make use of the agent locally!

    i used to use [0]s3ql on-top of "slow" fuse storage. it comes with its own caching layer and some strategies around handling larger blobs of data efficiently even at high latency w…

    i think it cleared a thing up or two. However, would you mind sharing why insertable streams are apparently required for this to work? As WebRTC traffic is encrypted already E2E it…

    I wish browser would do something similar with their WebRTC stack. Something that shows independently of the site (out of its execution context) which keys are used and allow for a…

    i think SRV records might be more appropriate for this use case.

    Comment #32135528

    more precisely a CNAME must be the only record type for a given label as it would be otherwise ambiguous to revolvers. that doesn't hold true for DNSSEC secured zones where the rec…

    just so you know, your assumption i am not using the right tools feels almost insulting to me considering i made no claim about any tooling used. i am using systemd-networkd to set…

    i just wish i could control the routing via routing tables instead, making dynamic routing decisions possible without specialized software that is able to manipulate it.
