- betaby 5mo agoAged like a milk.
- tptacek 5mo agoOh, yeah, I'm sure feeling chastened right now. You got me.
- SAI_Peregrinus 5mo agoParmigianino-Reggiano is aged milk, so I'm not sure what people have against aged milk. Aged milk can be great
- sgc 5mo agoMy poor fellow. You wrote about how something is a bad tool for a long list of serious reasons. Then it failed spectacularly because everybody decided to depend on it anyway - exactly what you were cautioning against. But somehow you have to respond to people who think you are the one who got it wrong! As a third party the whole affair gave me a good chuckle at least ;)
- tptacek 5mo agoGermany appears to depend on it. Virtually none of North America does. I'm pretty satisfied with how this whole thing shook out!
- cyberax 5mo agoYou're wrong. Both .com and .net are signed (`dig RRSIG com.`), and if they screw up, then all the com/net zones will become inaccessible.
- tptacek 5mo agoVirtually no zones under .com/.net are signed, which was the only point I was making. It has no adoption here.
- cyberax 5mo agoSure. But that was not the issue with .de, it has about the same level of DNSSEC adoption as .com DENIC screwed up the TLD itself, and .com/.net are just as susceptible.
- profmonocle 5mo agoEven if example.com is unsigned, the delegation from .com to example.com will still be signed (including an attestation that example.com is unsigned). So lack of DNSSEC adoption by users of the TLD wouldn't save them here.
- theMMaI 5mo agoSssshh, don't give Verisign any bad ideas!
