- acdha 5mo agoThat comparison really makes the contrast clear: losing TLS would’ve put millions of people either into full downtime or immediately at significant risk (you can’t uncapture data). Losing DNSSEC, however, placed no one at risk and improved uptime. There’s a reason why one of the two has roughly 10% adoption after three decades and the other is high 90-something percent.
