I just spent the better half of an hour to debug unbound and the pihole because I thought it's a me problem... Good news though, if you add domain-insecure: "de" to your unbound config everything works fine

I don't even enable DNSSEC in Unbound. There just isn't enough adoption yet for me to feel like I am missing out on something, yet.

"Cloudflare Radar data shows 8.11% of domains are signed with DNSSEC, but only 0.47% of queries are validated end-to-end." [1]

Zones I may care about:

- Amazon.com: unsigned

- My banks: unsigned

- Hacker News: unsigned

- Email that I do not host: unsigned

- My power companies billing: unsigned

- I found some! id.me and irs.gov are signed.

bmw.de is down for me too

Both domains page load for me from Amsterdam. I wonder if there's communication disruption. Undersea cable severed?

You mean the big undersea cable between the Netherlands and Germany? ;-)

I work with a few people specialised in IT security, and some of them take their jobs too seriously and will "lock down" everything to the point that it becomes a very real risk that they lock out everyone including themselves. Fundamentally, security is a solution to an availability problem: The desire of the users is for a system to remain available despite external attack. Systems that become unavailable to everyo…

Security is not just a solution to availability. It is also to keep sensitive data (PII, or business secrets, or passwords, or cryptographic private keys, and so on) away from the hands of bad actors.

If I’m unable to use Amazon for 24 hours it doesn’t really matter. If a photo copy of my passport is leaked that’s worries and potential troubles for years.
