That's great for NS records. What about SOA?
812.
by scurvy 11y ago
Sure, have fun convincing Verisign. They're the ones controlling the .com registry. Your TTL values are meaningless to them when it comes to SOA. Minimum 1 day TTL.
813.
by scurvy 11y ago
Minimum TTL for SOA records on .com is a day. Lowering your A record TTL isn't buying you much in case of DNS hosting failure. Helpful if your site (not dns) needs to move providers though.

by scurvy 11y ago
You're back online from your perspective. What about all the name servers that have your SOA cached still looking at DO? You're still down for them.

by scurvy 11y ago
How do you fail over your SOA on .com when the minimum TTL is 1 day?
816.
by scurvy 11y ago
I'll bite. You can have multiple NS records but only a single SOA. The .com registry minimum TTL for SOA is a day. How in the world would "multiple providers" help you in a 6 hour outage?

A 1gig circuit is a large pipe? Also, what are you talking about? Are you claiming that NTT nor TWTC can mitigate a DDoS attack? If so, you're massively wrong.

by scurvy 11y ago
Actually there are providers which will sell you a port ACL as part of their DDoS mitigation service. These ACLs can block almost all of the BS volumetric attacks which will cripple you. Everything gets blocked on the provider side. NTT&#x2

They can definitely block you. Right of first refusal clauses make no mention of timeliness. You notify your company that you found a buyer and they just ignore it. Supposedly this is very common with Uber. Only the selected cool kids and f

NVMe's lower latency is great. I've never really known how "slow" regular SATA/SAS SSD's were until I used NVMe ones.

It is indeed scary to watch a storage node pull 1.5-2 kW at power-on. I think my eyes popped out the first time I watched the PDU load dance around like that.

Juniper QFX from what I've heard.

by scurvy 11y ago
Aye, but even off the shelf 3ph 50A 208v circuits gets you a lot of power. That's enough for 7 or 8 4U storage nodes with 70 drives each. Then again, I don't really like putting too much weight that high up in a rack that already

Another tip: get rid of those stupid Dyson hand dryers. They're unsanitary and don't work.

Oh if only US restrooms were like those in Japan. Even run of the mill ones in Japan are great.

I work at a company whose office gets a fair amount of press for being cool and "stylish." What you don't see in the press is the half of the office whose only natural light is a 1 sq ft porthole in the corner. It's a da

Toll prices never come down. They only go up. When was the last time a government lowered a toll on a bridge or road? Same thing applies here.

Not trying to nitpick, but don't most people running MySQL with innodb set O_DIRECT?

by scurvy 11y ago
Yep, exactly this. You can generally find the add-on cards available, but most don't like them for replacement and quantity in a box reasons. They also don't fit in some of today's high density, multi node server chassis. SFF

NVMe doesn't require a PCIe slot. It just requires some lanes. You can use the 2.5" form factor with the same performance. It works really well. NVMe scales just fine. As for the livelihood of those selling these storage appliance

Why SAS and not NVMe? You can buy all NVMe enclosures/servers now. Is this solely aimed at replacing drives in existing enclosures? Not much good there as most of them will be SAS6. They'll still work, but not nearly as fast as SA

Of course. Such are the decisions and tradeoffs that any young startup needs to make. That's why I said that they could take it or leave it.

Reminds me of that scene in Snatch where Dennis Farina says "yeah, don't go to London." Don't make any plans to have a physical EU footprint and you can care less what the EU thinks of your internal policies. EU customer

This seems aimed more at Safenames. I'll trust Safenames more than Cloudflare personally.
