BIND9 used to also be the basis for a lot of DNS appliances back in the day, so unless you are running your own recursive server, you might still be running bind, just with a GUI front end.

Hardly a new trend. Young people have always put more trust in friends/peers than older people. Part of growing up is realizing not everyone in your age cohort is trustworthy. Just like how older people have always complained about how

Indirectly, yes. Since they don't understand the details, management just "wants it to work". So too many email admins just give up and make their sending policies as permissive as they can to account for whatever new service

Can't get over paywall, but from experience: NoVa/DC Sluglines are a cool example of self-organizing communities. There is a set of informal rules and etiquette around passengers and drivers. A lot of it comes from the military ba

I always assumed they were thinking "Well, it's not like there are going to be a lot of ice storms in LA..." and were in a hurry.

True - the purpose was to authenticate, not just encrypt. Years ago, every CA had additional tiers of authentication for certificates that included all sorts of ID checks, corporate records, etc. The idea was that businesses would pay extra

The .gov TLD was only for the Federal government in the past, it was opened up later to state/local governments. By then, some had already had <something>.<state>.us, or some other TLD. Most probably thought it was too trou

This has the potential to be very helpful. Donating bone marrow or blood stem cells is uncomfortable* and requires taking time off which makes it difficult for people with job/family constraints. So a pool of potential donors are likel

Public schools around me dropped cursive writing years ago. Old-school Montessori schools (those that follow Assoc. Montessori International - AMI at least) seem to be the only places keeping cursive alive. They teach cursive before print i

Nokia produced several early smartphones. Most ran SymbianOS that showed what was possible. The connectivity wasn't there to make it really useful and this was the age of "smaller is cooler" mobile phones, so they tried to ke

Part of the decision feels like the FCC is looking for whatever leverage they have over telcos and just using that as a vehicle. I'd also like to think that telco companies already due risk assessments (maybe not frequently updated or

I've heard these issues referred to as "bug-for-bug compatibility" or "bug-for-bug interoperable". Making sure something works even if it is in violation of a spec since you can't change the other side of the c

The most charitable explanation I can think of is that they expect you to use your email account for business, and they may need to pull communication for regulatory purposes? Even that is weird and questionable and usually illegal in that

Yeah I was going to say that "Achilles Heel" makes it sound like it was a previously unknown vulnerability. This is really an intentional access point into the infrastructure that didn't have mitigations in place (or an actua

I guess I misinterpreted it - sorry. It must say something that it isn't a big announcement anymore: either it has gotten to the point where people expect it (good operations), or people are expecting DNSSEC to go away (bad for DNSSEC

It was delayed, but was successful. The available metrics at the time showed that many validators did not pick up the new key, or did not store it in stable memory so every time a new VM/container/whatever started up, it had the o

Yes, I get the feeling that there were likely other reasons why they wanted the employee gone, but needed a good reason that wouldn't result in a legal complaint.

.xyz is seen (or at least talked about) as the TLD that is used by malware distributors/spammers and often blocked or filtered by email services. I would imagine most tech startups would not want to be mistakenly put on blocklists.
