DNSSEC wasn’t worth it

[… we] estimate that DNSSEC validation is performed around 1% of the time, given the DNS query profile of today’s data I run my own authoritative nameservers and have had a slight nagging feeling that I should’ve enabled DNSSEC years ago. It’s been on my perpetual to-do list but I’ve never gotten around to it. I’ve definitely caused some outages trying to get DNSSEC to work. Came across this article and it confirms that my procrastination was pretty OK in this specific case.

Internet Archeology

Stumbled upon a silly blog I made for one of the German classes I took in undergrad. The account it was under used my long-dead @nmu.edu email so I ended up having to contact support to get back into it. Also found the final project page. I imported the posts and pages to this site just for archival sake without any of the bother ads on wp.com. At least I got my main username back from this discovery! The imported posts are here if you’re so inclined.
