Wait, Namecheap deactivates your domain name if you have a temporary DNS outage?

You should email them about the form and about your domain. Their email address is listed on the website. https://quad9.net/support/contact/ > Sometimes the upstream blocklist prov…

Even without "all-servers", DNSMasq will race servers frequently (after 20 seconds, unless it's changed), and when retrying. A sudden outage should only affect you for a few second…

Unless the privacy policy changed recently, Google shouldn't be doing anything nefarious with 8.8.8.8 DNS queries.

This sounds like a very serious security vulnerability...?

Maybe not the entire region. Amazon was reportedly building a data center complex next to the natural gas Hermiston Generating Plant some distance from the river.

I have bad news for you, Linode's authoritative DNS service also uses Cloudflare DNS Firewall. $ dig +short ns1.digitalocean.com aaaa 2400:cb00:2049:1::adf5:3a33 $ dig +short ns1.l…

As I understood it, the difference between the $2.50 and $3.50 Vultr VPSes is an IPv4 address. I don't know why that page doesn't explain. Maybe it's changed.

This has a couple bugs: 1.1.1.2 and 1.1.1.3 both return the SVCB records for 1.1.1.1. (I don't know if clients would ignore them, or actually switch to 1.1.1.1.) Non-SVCB-type quer…

They moved data centers (to Hurricane Electric Fremont 2). It's not unusually unreliable.

Yup. I'm still upset (but not angry) about https://status.linode.com/incidents/kqhypy8v5cm8 .

Amazon seems to have stopped randomizing them in newer regions. Another reason to move to us-east-2. ;-)

Resolvers typically cache successful "does not exist" responses for no more than 1-3 hours. (And authoritative servers often have a lower negative TTL.) (There's a corner case rela…

No idea. I'd speculate that it's some kind of historical reasons from before FB acquired IG.

They shouldn't lose sleep over it, though.

Who sent them first, and why?

Instead of going from relying on a single provider to relying on a single provider, you could use both AWS and Azure.

DigitalOcean has /32s from ARIN and RIPE. (And a /48 from APNIC???) (Edit: And a /36, /40 and /48 from APNIC?)
