Crazy. I can't remember an incident like this ever happened before and it's still not fixed? .de is probably the most important unrestricted domain after .com from an economical perspective. Millions of businesses are "down".
- lschueller 5mo agoIt's Germany, pessimistic time estimation + 1/3 and you are in a realistic time frame for the issue being resolved.
- warpspin 5mo agoIt's night. Somebody has to fill a form to approve night work first.

- snapetom 5mo agoLuckily it's not Sunday. Everyone would be out in the country hiking.

- greyhound 5mo agoAnd send it by post for approval, which will take 5-30 business days.
- 9dev 5mo agoOh come on, that’s not true. You could also fax it. That might come with an additional processing fee though.
- rasz 5mo agoDont be ridiculous, thats what FAX is for.
- dgellow 5mo agoFax, actually! Will still take 5–30 business days for approval, for some reasons
- croes 5mo agoI many days would an email take?
- carstenhag 5mo agoI know that people are joking, but of course we also have (extra paid) on call shifts.
- daneel_w 5mo agoAnd then fax the form to the correct authority, so that the request is Official(tm).
- sgc 5mo agoWell at least that doesn't require functioning DNS. This time around, it in fact could not have been an email :)
- 1718627440 5mo agoIn fact it could, you just would address the IP directly instead of a hostname.
- Cockbrand 5mo agoIn addition: it's Germany, pessimistic cost estimation + 2000%, and you are in a realistic budget for the issue being resolved.
- lschueller 5mo ago:D... before tax!
- rwmj 5mo agoI remember when .com went down, in July 1997. https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/library/cyber/week/071797dns.html https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/library/cyber/we...
- ctippett 5mo ago> For instance, the name "www.nytimes.com" corresponds to nine different computers that answer requests for The New York Times on the Web, one of which is 199.181.172.242 $ dig -x 199.181.172.242 +short www2.nytimes.com. Neat.
- AndroTux 5mo agoDENIC apparently resolved all .de domains to NXDOMAIN in 2010: https://www.theregister.com/2010/05/12/germany_top_level_domain_glitch/ https://www.theregister.com/2010/05/12/germany_top_level_dom...
- HDBaseT 5mo agoGermany isn't as big as you think.
- trollbridge 5mo agoYeah it's only the third largest economy in the world
- Muromec 5mo agoI just checked and the can of Paulaner in the fridge is not affected by the outage so far, thus my trust into German economy remains unshaken.
- TacticalCoder 5mo ago> Yeah it's only the third largest economy in the world You can both be the 3rd biggest economy in the world and still only be 1/10th of US+China GDPs combined. And only three companies in the Top 100 for Germany: https://companiesmarketcap.com/ https://companiesmarketcap.com/ Germany is the kingdom of the "mittelstand": many, many, many SMEs. Both GP and you are right: it's the 3rd largest economy in the world and yet it's simply not that big. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mittelstand https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mittelstand In other words: I expect this German DNS SNAFU to have 0.000000001% impact on the world's GDP this year.
- NooneAtAll3 5mo agowhat's SME?
- phillipseamore 5mo agoSmall/Medium enterprises
- ulfw 5mo agoHow is 1/10th the size of number 1 and 2 COMBINED small? In what world is that a small number? Especially as those two are 1.8 billion people vs 0.08 billion for Germany
- carstenhag 5mo agoWell it was already very late in the day (21-22?) so the impact was not big I would say
- 8organicbits 5mo agoThere's a good index of major DNSSEC outages here, https://ianix.com/pub/dnssec-outages.html https://ianix.com/pub/dnssec-outages.html
- dizhn 5mo agoMust have been mid 2000s. Root dns servers were down. Super hard to diagnose the issues it causes on your side because it "never happens".
