Very true article about how and why websites see less traffic and google slowly expands their semi-monopoly even further:

Consider to use the search feature of your browser and search directly on Wikipedia for things you want to know.

Protip: use keywords like "wen" or "wde" or just "w" to start you searches with those keywords and automatically end up on the search engine of your desire.

Our main website is now on the RockPro64 Cluster as well! This mostly concludes our infrastructure move (though there's some file storage left to go...).

Thanks for your patience with any downtime or slowness you have have experienced over the past few hours!

This behavior by Chrome (half of #DNS queries to the root) raises a general Internet question: how to handle people and software who don't care for the commons?

Now; the strange behaviour of the Chrome browser (by Duane Wessels, Verisign)

Chrome does a lot of #DNS probing (for instance to see if the local resolver lies) which may look like the infamous "random subdomain attack"

Almost half of the DNS traffic to Verisign's root name servers is likely from Chromium trying to see if there are DNS lies.

Now, Suzanne Woolf (PIR) about the plans to change #DNSSEC policy for .org: NSEC3 to NSEC, RSA to elliptic curves, etc. Nothing decided yet. (Specially with COVID-19, no risks will be taken.)

This was the seen in Philly today. This happened about 5 hours ago. An exceedingly peaceful protestor trying to be nice to police and military deployed was going around handing out flowers. She was immediately arrested for doing so. No violence of any kind... she offered a flower, the military guy reached out to accept it, BAM, down for arrest.

She is a well known Kindergarten Teacher here and apparently arrested for crossing the barriers even though clearly non violent.

They wonder why people are rioting.. this shit right here.
