Fastly is on the news today for a widespread outage that took many big sites down.

At the same time, their stock is up almost 7%.

I guess any news is good news for the stock market and the auto trading bots.

Got my first degree black belt 😁

Trying to do my part:

$ curl -sD - https://dcid.me | grep 'permissions-policy'
permissions-policy: interest-cohort=()

Have you blocked FLoC yet? If you are using NOC, you can disable it with 1-click here:

One thing I love about the https://noc.org DNS is the visibility it provides - including regions and resolvers.

If you want to move away from big tech and give a small provider a chance, you may like it :)

Based on this timeline, Microsoft screwed up big time here - so slow to respond and patch.

Really nice gesture here in Temecula. Covid memorial for all the lives lost.

1 white flag for each person that died.

Much respect to president Biden for this letter that he sent to his staff a few years ago.

Seems like a great example to follow.

I love the Slopes app to track the day at the mountain when we are snowboarding.

What I don't like is that I can't keep up with my kids anymore...

A Brazilian in the snow has to be careful.

Yes, today is a great day to snowboard.

Finally decided to try out @signalapp and get rid of Whatsapp.

Signal seems to be growing well with 10M+ downloads on the Google App Store.

However, a long ways to go to reach WhatsApp with 5B downloads.

So true.

Scary growth of the DDoS attacks size through the years...

Good read to understand how Google thinks and handles DDoS attacks.

Yes, that'a a coyote eating my Ring camera.

Really happy with the way the NOC.org availability and performance monitoring is working.

Global view of your site/domain from 10+ different locations - every minute.

If you have a website, try it out:

Really good read on how the FBI caught the "twitter hacker".

Bitcoin transactions *might* appear be anonymous, but they can give out enough information & patterns to connect it to someone - specially on a high profile case (well, and bad opsec).

Does your current DNS provider gives you visibility on your DNS traffic?

This is the data for one of our small domains: dnsblacklist[.]org.

Interesting to see that Google is the #1 resolver for it.. or the traffic per hour.. or the full logs..

Try it out:

Put a camera on my backyard to try to identify what was trashing it at night.

Surprise , surprise.

I guess the Coyotes are calling it home now.

Multiple Brazilian sites (eg uol.com.br, amazon.com.br) are down due to what looks like a DNSSEC issue on .com.br:

https://dnsviz.net/d/www.uol.com.br/dnssec/

https://dnsblacklist.org/?domain=www.uol.com.br

If you can't reach your favorite Brazilian sites, that's probably why.

Not sure if this quote is really from Mike Tyson, but he is spot on 😂

Another one already blocked by CleanBrowsing - on all our filters:

https://dnsblacklist.org/?domain=cdn-google-analytics.com

If you are looking for a first layer of defense to block malicious domains, maybe be good to try it out.
