  1. One thing I didn't realize until after this was posted was that the wiretaps ISPs will be ordered to perform under C-2 are warrantless. Just ministry orders.
  2. easyDNS here. Our ears were burning as multiple people have mentioned us in this thread.

    If you want to get with a registrar who is actually clueful about takedowns, we can help you out.

  3. The Gell-Mann Amnesia is strong in this story and thead.

    As I posted on Krebs' article:

    This is neither news nor new. There have been prior panics around this “water is wet” type issue going back at least a decade.

    (Search up “Floating Domains – Taking Over 20K DigitalOcean Domains via a Lax Domain Import System” – and others).

    I also wrote about this on CircleID from the DNS operator’s perspective (“Nameserver Operators Need the Ability to “Disavow” Domains”) – after this same issue was used to DDoS attack another DNS provider by delegating a domain to their DNS servers without having setup an account there, and then doing a DNS reflection attack on that domain. That was over ten years ago.

    The fact that people can delegate their own domains to somebody else’s nameservers without ever properly setting up a zone on those nameservers, or ever keeping track of where THEIR OWN DOMAINS point is 100% the responsibility of the domain owner – and to varying degrees a function of their REGISTRAR – who is the only entity that has any control over it.

    It’s a weird flex for corporate registrars who purport to be “high touch” and exclusive, to simply shrug their shoulders and turn a blind eye to their own clients’ obviously broken and vulnerable nameserver delegations.

    For our part this is specifically one of things we actively monitor and alert our clients about.

  4. easyDNS and OpenDNS have completely different founders. You are probably confused with EveryDNS - was founded by the same person who started OpenDNS.
  5. Default behaviour in a registrar transfer is to leave the nameservers as is - the rar has to explicitly send a new ns set in the transfer call to effect a change.

    Are you positive you didn't accidentally tick a checkbox or anything to use their nameservers?

  6. I've been monitoring this with an eye toward creating a honeypot for DMARC abuse but so far been seeing zero messages come in.

    Either the spammers haven't figured it out yet, or they realize it's a waste of time since all the messages are either mechanically processed or ignored.

  7. You'll still be able to to run personal email from your domain - I'd add SPF and a minimal DMARC and you'll be fine.
  8. It's called "The Cantillion Effect".
  9. They talk about inflation like it comes from a comet out of deep space.

    Not one mention that inflation is caused by the government and central banks expanding the money supply.

  10. Great story.

    I was a huge HHGTTG fan (counting Disaster Area among my top musical influences)

    When I was at UWO in the early 90's Douglas Adams came on campus for a book signing - it was to last about 45 minutes, and it was scheduled right in the middle of one of my exams.

    So I decided to sit the exam, thinking "I'll catch up with him at a future book signing", alas he died before I ever got the chance.

  11. I would recommend ponying up a few sats and using paid relays.

    If you're just using free relays you will get inundated with spam.

    I was running an open relay for awhile and closed it up because of this.

    (Lightning is the magic lubricant that makes Nostr so promising).

  12. Wikileaks had their DNS cut off by Dynect - who lied about it being because of a non-existent DoS attack, when in reality they were getting their nuts squeezed by the State Department to deplatform them.

    > Non-controversial sites do not get shut down.

    A.k.a "nothing to hide, nothing to fear".

  13. Are you asking for a source on "ivermectin is not a horse de-wormer" Other than that it has been an FDA approved drug for over thirty years?

    Or are you asking for a source on somebody getting deplatformed for saying that, and Dr. Peter McCullough comes to mind there.

    The Great Barrington Declaration was also de-indexed from Google for disputing lockdowns.

  14. > I've seen people say this, but I've not actually observed that at all. > What got censored exactly?

    Zerohedge was kicked off Twitter for suggesting that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was a likely candidate for the origin.

    We're seeing that Fauci & Ecohealth co-ordinated the paper to "debunk" the lab leak theory and now the lab leak is looking to be the most likely culprit (it is not without precedent, the 1977 Russian Flu turned out to be a lab leak from gain-on-function research).

    Ivermectin, was another. Complete with "horse de-wormer" smears and deplatforming campaigns all over the place.

    If you don't know of any instances where this has happened, you either did a masterful job tuning it all out, or still believe 99% of the b/s.
