You’re technical and have self-awareness of failings? I’d hire you to be a manager. I wouldn’t be worried you can’t learn and grow.

Max IOPS is still only 64,000 though?

Correct. We have agents for desktops (Windows, MacOS, Linux) as well as Mobile (Android, iOS) We basically run a service that listens for dns requests on port 53 loop back IP, and then we change system DNS to point to that loopback IP. Now

Just to be clear, this would be more appropriately titled How we saved money moving from AWS to VPS providers. It comes as little surprise to me that the AWS lightsail offering saved them money over traditional AWS services, just as they’d

I respect and agree with your rant. CTO and Co-Founder of DNSFilter here. When we get a complaint that our recursive servers are returning an 'old IP' as if we did something wrong... I start by explaining that they likely didn&#x2

Agreed. There's a lot of 'magic' that goes into running a quality recursive resolver, least of which is eDNS0 and EDNS Client Subnet - which intentionally returns different answers based on the requester's source IP -- i

Just to add to the discussion -- 'whats happening in the background' -- more specifically is your operating system's stub resolver. So when you ask for www.amazon.com it ends up making multiple DNS lookups, as www.amazon.com

I was recently looking into ytalk/talkd which is the old-school way to do such things... Very cool, now I must decide between tmate and streamhut!

As said DNS operator (founder and CTO of DNSFilter.com) - I concur. We’ve been offering DoT for years, but are about to improve the offering with 0-RTT support. We’re also working on POCs of DoH support, but it’s mostly moot compared to our

I always announce to the wait staff that I have a Gluten Allergy. This typically leads down one of two paths: 1) Them apologizing and explaining about shared fryers, cross-contamination, etc. 2) Them asking if it’s Celiac, understanding, an

I was diagnosed Celiac in 2008. I recently moved to Boulder, CO and wow is life easier here: Everyone knows about and understands Celiac Disease. There are hundreds of restaurants with options in the greater Denver area, many of them 100% G

This is the advice I give early stage startups... don’t waste cycles learning the AWS stack, and getting locked in. Just pay for a cheap VPS, and scale it vertically as you grow. By the time you outgrow vertical scaling you should have the

My brother just had serious back surgery. We've been dropping him at the store entrance, and picking him up. He can sit fine, but walking is difficult. I can see this being a benefit for certain people with injuries or disabilities.

Yes, I think it's actually out of vogue now, but a few years ago it was trendy to describe things as bougey: bougey (pronounced: boo-G) a condensed version of the word bourgeoise, used to refer to capitalists, the upper class, gaudines

Or positioned another way, this is Yak Shaving: Any seemingly pointless activity which is actually necessary to solve a problem which solves a problem which, several levels of recursion later, solves the real problem you're working on.

We're a remote company, and due to issues we experienced with employees too far off from the core team timezone (US Eastern) - having no overlapping hours slowed down productivity and caused issues. We now have a guideline to be in a t

FWIW, there's a standard being developed to allow network admins to maintain control over DNS on their networks, even after this is enabled.

Disclaimer: I run a competing service. India is difficult. I run our anycast network and we have coverage in India but I look forward to improved routing there in the future with additional transit providers. It seems nextdns is announcing

There’s a large distinction between BGP announcing and running a properly balanced anycast network. Vultr is not designed for this, they have limited bgp community strings - so running an anycast network there will work either only with sel

I can confirm we run across transparent dns proxying with customers at DNSFilter all the time. Mobile carriers are the worst for doing this. A few days ago it was a customers compromised router doing it.

For those curious about what is going on here... Cloudflare has decided for privacy reasons they will not relay eDNS0 client subnet data - which yes, can reveal a portion of the IP of the requestor - but is used by CDN services in order to
