I must be early. There's not a single tptacek DNSSEC rant in this thread yet.

Perhaps its more fair to call it 'passionate'.

That said, the last few dnssec posts that got traction, tptacek tends to be at least 20% of the comments alone (ex, 55/259), ignoring word count. Today seems calm

The same day Kurzgesagt posted their video “Germany is over”. Huh. https://youtu.be/n-gYFcVx-8Y

Kurzgesagt is once more highlighting the neoliberal solution: more growth. Surely a wealth tax is not worth mentioning.

I watched that video yesterday, their solution was to fix the pension funding problem :)

They made the point that more immigration / growth wouldn't help fix the core problem if they don't fix that asap.

And then fax the form to the correct authority, so that the request is Official(tm).

Well at least that doesn't require functioning DNS. This time around, it in fact could not have been an email :)

In fact it could, you just would address the IP directly instead of a hostname.

No it doesn't. DNS breaks as soon as TTLs run out. It's your choice to set them so low that stuff breaks immediately.

Unfortunately you can't set DNS TTL arbitrarily high (or low) without some resolvers ignoring your suggestion and using arbitrary values.

Most historical outages lasted minutes or hours. One arguably lasted much longer, when someone lost control of their servers due to civil war.

I haven't followed this closely, but have there been any... shall we say plain outages longer than six hours? That's not an outrageous TTL. Or a day.

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? ;-)

Lol, I meant between users across the sea who couldn't see and users in Europe who could.
