What is this site? Firefox gives me an invalid cert error - the page is apparently presenting a certificate issued to cloudflare-dns.com. The site has a Wikipedia article (archive.today) which mentions something about blocking the Cloudflare DNS resolver, but the machine I'm on uses the default (ie my ISP's) resolver. Does anyone know what's going on here?
- robocat 6y agoGuessing you use CloudFlare 1.1.1.1 DNS and archive returns bad IP address. Read through discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828317 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828317
- Reelin 6y agoI don't use Cloudflare DNS though ... do I? Seriously, WTF is going on here? The DHCP on my router is configured to distribute the DNS server provided by my ISP!
- carapace 6y agoFirefox switched to DNS-over-HTTPS recently and it uses Cloudflare. (I may be talking nonsense here... This could have nothing to do with it.)
- Reelin 6y agoIt looks like you're correct. * systemd-resolve --status -> 74.40.74.40 (my ISP) * dig archive.is -> 212.80.216.76 * whois 212.80.216.76 -> Serverio technologijos MB * Firefox -> Preferences -> Network Settings -> DNS over HTTPS: enabled I don't recall doing that... https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2020/02/25/firefox-continues-push-to-bring-dns-over-https-by-default-for-us-users/ https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2020/02/25/firefox-continues-p... Unbelievable! Apparently Mozilla unilaterally enabled DoH in my browser sometime within the past 2 months without so much as notifying me! WTF?! This sort of thing is completely unacceptable no matter how pure their intentions might be.
- carapace 6y agoI feel ya. I just switched to Vivaldi due to the "megabar". (More precisely, due to Moz removing the option to disable the megabar.)
- gpvos 6y agoI must have missed this change. Searching on the web did not give much information. What's bad about the new address bar?
- carapace 6y agoReally? cracks knuckles Let me fire up the ol' rant machine... Ah fuck it... It's too early in the morning. - - - - In the great order of things the "megabar" isn't that big of a deal. I personally hate it, but that's just me. Objectively it's bad UI for a few reasons, but I don't want to write a big screed about UI design. At the root of the problem is what dude said above: their attitude stinks. They activate it without consent. They remove the option to disable it. Mozilla has become a caricature of itself. They were already just a fig leaf over Google's hegemony (They get 85%-90% of their money from Google and send telemetry to them by default.) Now it seems like they are adopting the same patronizing and distant stance. I hate to say it because I used to really like Mozilla and I even have some friends working there so I know it's a bunch of really good, committed folks over there, but to me their progress and process have become retrograde along the dimensions I care most about.
- gpvos 6y agoAny lost functionality? New privacy issues? The main thing I noticed was that the bar got some empty space to its left and right, which took some effort to remove.
- arh68 6y agoIt was that weird new popup on the left side of the address bar, saying something about privacy on the web.. Once you know what they're talking about, it had a No Thanks button right on it. IMO I don't like browser DNS myself but their rollout is/was okay by me.
