I think that's standard eye/ear protection. It would look really bad to lose someone after landing on the carrier. The flight deck of an aircraft carrier is a loud, confusing, and dangerous place. I imagine they were told somet

You can go further. There are relatively cheap adapter boards which let you stick 4 M.2 drives in a single PCIe x16 slot; you can usually configure a x16 slot to be bifurcated (quadfurcated) as 4 x (x4). To pick a motherboard at quasi-rando

What's your evidence that this is related to c.root-servers.net serving a stale version of the root zone? If you can get the correct IP address for a site out of the DNS but can't reach the site, it's not a DNS problem, and n

Per rfc8806, because the data in the root zone has long TTL values, most queries to the root servers are for nonexistent top-level domains due to typos and search paths gone wrong, so in some sense it's community service to reduce usel

Note that running your own mirror of the root on the recursive nameserver(s) on your network will keep the traffic generated from these sorts of queries off the rest of the internet. If you're already running your own recursive resolve

The problem was evident if you ran dig @${server} . soa c.root-servers.net showed an older serial number than all the others yesterday. This seems like a major hole in their monitoring systems.

Google does a lot of things in a lot of different contexts. It's not always acting as a publisher but here I think it is, and it has claimed to be one in the past. In 2012, Eugene Volokh argued on behalf of Google that it was indeed a

Indeed. Porting it to an architecture that wasn't 36 bits wide would be a major undertaking. From my minimal reading of the source, PL/1 (or, perhaps, the dialect of it which was used on Multics?) lacks a real equivalent to C&#x
