@bortzmeyer @shaft let’s explain dns yet again in an article which stumbles-on about root servers, shall we

First time in many years that I've shaved my face, and I didn't even draw blood!

Those of you who know me or have seen pictures know I've had a 1--3mm beard'ish for a long time.

I'm having my throat slit† open in surgery tomorrow morning for a complete removal of the thyroid gland so I thought I'd spare a nurse some trouble and take a stab at cleaning away the hair.

No thoughts and prayers please. I'll report back here if and/or when I survive

† vertically not horizontally

[x] taxi ordered for 06:00
[ ] surgery scheduled for 07:45

[x] edit to add: yes, getting nervous

@joanna danke. Nein, stationär, mindestens zwei Tage. Und mag ja Routine sein aber für mich ist es eine Premiere; die testen es bei mir das erste mal :)

I’m back (as in ‘still alive‘; not at home), and it went well.

Lovely message from @bortzmeyer ❤️who writes:

.. I hope the surgeon does not teleoperate through a flappy 5G link! …

Goes to show he’s clueless: in Germany tele-operations are performed over EDGE.

Ice cream for dinner to cool throat from inside.

Trying to organize a large gin&tonic with plenty of ice. Ima argue the chilled glass is gonna cool from outside.

@bortzmeyer

it looks okay in the default Mastodon Web interface (on Chrome and on Safari)

Forgive me, @mutax, but I just have to steal that:

the C in c.root-servers.net. stands for "caputt".

to be clear: if it's a #DNSSEC issue and something's broken, then it's spelled kaputt.

@woody you forgot to switch it On. 😜

jpmens, 1 day ago

@woody please forgive me; I misread the switch setting, expecting it to be coloured.

@bortzmeyer

“Reported to Cogent (ticket HD303751898) but they do not seem to
understand that they manage a root name server.”

We’re doing what, you say?!

That’s funny 😄

@bortzmeyer @winfried "most obscure parts .." which is surprising, really, given that they do advertise their stuff quite nicely https://root-servers.org
