Oh! I thought I had lost this terminal session due to another recent forced restart (there's a VERY annoying bug in udev, Debian Stretch, or KDE Plasma 5 ... but another rant for another day). But I haven't! The server was fe80::188e:1b74:da0:42e9%3. Here's some of my terminal output from when it happened. I was on Netflix when the notification came in and Netflix stopped loading less than a minute later. $ dig www.netflix.com ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 53897 ;; flags: qr; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;www.netflix.com.
