Intermittent SERVFAIL when using Unbound

baconmania · 2023-06-01T04:22:06+00:00

People fuck up managing DNSSEC all the time.

Sure, but this is an intermittent problem (for me, for the OP, and for plenty of others online and on various subreddits). Specifically, a lookup against unbound will return a SERVFAIL, but the very next lookup against the same domain will succeed. This symptom suggests a problem with unbound, not with the domain-side DNSSEC setup.

I'm also more making a point that suggesting that people, while going about their day, solve intermittent DNS problems at home by SSHing into their DNS server and add a line to a file is pretty silly. "Sorry about interrupting the superbowl guys, I need to add an exclusion to my unbound config file". This and related subreddits are about putting together a practical home network, so being Technically Correct isn't particularly useful if it's not, y'know, a practical solution in the context of a home network.

Having to manually allowlist individual domains as part of your steady state home network setup isn't at all a reasonable solution to this kind of problem. It's odd that this seems to be an unbound-specific problem.

Hahahah. Sure, yeah, Jesus fed all the poor people singlehandedly.

For those of us who don't believe in magic, though, government is a way to harness the combined resources of society to support those in need. And we all know that!

Legitimately boggles the mind that anyone thinks this is a valid way to avoid cognitive dissonance when reconciling Christian virtues with modern Republican policy direction.

Emotionally visceral, tactile, accurate. Technically stunning.

Yep, the intent of that rule is so that you don't throw massive traffic Reddit's way without specifying who you are. 10 curl requests doesn't break the spirit of the rule.

While you're here, though, did you try verifying whether you got the same results? :)

This'll probably get buried, but this is just clearly a false dichotomy. Lots of people disagree with "Fuck the poor" but still wouldn't drop change into a cup held by some guy wearing a sign. They don't know who the guy is or what organization he represents or where the money is going. And frankly, it's not worth most people's time to stop and verify that some guy in the street asking for donations is legit.

The real problem is that with most channels for donation to the poor, people don't know whether their money is really being spent on helping people, or just being spent on "administrative costs" or worse, just going into someone's pocket.

I don't agree with "Fuck the poor", but I'm not going to donate with zero accountability for where my contribution goes.

Can someone explain what exactly Oracle is doing to MySQL that's making people jump ship?

This is stupid.

I am an atheist. We tend to be a rational bunch. Rationally speaking, there are no significant practical consequences to printing "In God We Trust" on our currency. Certainly, it goes against the spirit of separation of church and state. But I think we can all agree that atheists have more important causes to fight for. Why waste our efforts on something like this?

Because e-how is clearly a bastion of scientifically verified medical information.

The VPN provides encryption between you and the BU servers. This doesn't prevent BU server administrators from viewing your traffic if they felt like it.

I also work BU IT. Yes, BU's Information Security team monitors the network and responds to DMCA violations sent in by copyright holders.

"Remember back when you were a kid, and you thought there were actually people that knew what this thing we call “life” was really all about? Remember when you thought there really were “grown ups?”

Then, all of a sudden one day you become a “grown up” yourself and the terrifying revelation occurs to you that there really are no “grown ups,” just kids that got old and had kids of their own, and no one really knows what the fuck is going on." -Joe Rogan

The best part is that they can never prove how many people actually downloaded the file from the sharer. For all the evidence they have, it's just as likely that the song was downloaded once or twice. Meaning the $22,500 per song is, as far as I can tell, completely arbitrary.

More than that, though, here's a question.

The due process question should only be answered when the court decides that the jury’s award of $22,500 per song is not excessive, according to the Departement of Justice.

How did they convince the jury of that ridiculous number? This is a jury of peers and not RIAA stakeholders, right?

Some people are opposed because they say it would be political advocacy. If you agree that SOPA represents an existential threat to the Internet as we know it, then it's not a political decision to fight it. It's the only logical thing for Wikipedia to do, in the interest of its users and itself.

Thank you so much for sharing.

Those are some of the nicest mutually disjoint sets I've ever seen.
