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.

20+ years later, and now my kids are enjoying Saint Seya (cavaleiros do Zodíaco).

Glad Netflix has the old shows there now.
