There are lots of reasons to use really low TTLs, but most are a temporary need. Most of the times I had to set low TTLs for records were for hardware migration projects where services were getting new IP addresses. But in a well managed shop this should always be temporary. The TTL would be set low the day before the change, then set back to a normal value the day after the change. I feel the author is correct in that permanently setting low TTLs just covers up a lack of proper planning and change management.

The only thing off the top of my head that I can think absolutely requires a permanently low TTL is DNS based global load balancing for high uptime applications. But I’m sure there are other uses. I agree that the vast majority of things do not need a low TTL on their DNS record.

I didn’t say he was good at it.

He’s a priest.

Looks like they allow it, but only if you’re an enterprise customer.

Cloudflare has been excellent for me since I switched away from (puke) GoDaddy years ago. They don’t try to upsell you bullshit like most of the other places, either. I have three domains with them.

I do not use any other Cloudflare services. There are no additional costs or services required (beyond the domain fees) to use them as your registrar.

This is not true. There are several tools to create a bootable USB that uses a local account.

They just made it hard for Joe Schmoe to avoid it.

Why aren’t we seeing the person in charge in jail yet?

Found the silver lining.

“The number of researchers who openly admitted to anti-immigration views was small compared to those with pro-immigration views. This imbalance makes it difficult to draw definitive conclusions about the magnitude of bias on the anti-immigration side.”

Hell yeah dude. I switched full time over a year ago and it’s been great. I still have a Windows partition for VR and modding but it literally went 6 months without getting booted last year. I’m encouraged by your success with VR, as I was under the impression HTCs stuff just didn’t work in Linux due to their middleware.

Thanks for sharing!

Probably about 40,000.

You would get thrown in jail, rightfully, for doing this once.

Corporation does it by the truckload and they are politely told to please stop, if they don’t mind.

Not even the trivial, meaningless fines we’re used to reading about.

This world is broken.

Your phone company is selling this data. Your tax dollars are then used to spy on you. But let’s place the blame with the enablers. If the data wasn’t being sold, ICE couldn’t buy it with your money.

Privacy is a myth in the United States.

Thanks for your hypothetical but I’m speaking from first hand experience. When you have the same type of experience and aren’t just speaking off a statistics sheet you might change your tune. Most people do.

Personally I think we need massive gun control reform. But I don’t live in that world, or a world where that’s going to happen in my lifetime even. So I’ll continue to do what’s most practical for the reality I live in.

Some of us have been victims and may have a different opinion.

Bungie will still be like, “peer to peer servers are fiiiine”

Always??? Nah. We’re just the latest incarnation of “the absolute worst motherfuckers always have the biggest sticks.”

But now? Yes. We are definitely the problem.

Everyone else please get your sticks ready. If we fail to stop this shit internally (and it ain’t looking good) you’re gonna need them.

As a lifelong resident of the United States, TIL there are non-violent states. Apparently. Somewhere.

I had to look up the joke. Very clever. Nerds.

Because that kind of shift in mindset (going backwards, basically) will require far more pressure than a 1-2 year RAM shortage.

Enterprise developers are basically unaffected by this. And anyone writing software for mom & pop was already targeting 8gb because that’s what Office Depot is selling them.

This mostly hurts the enthusiast parts of tech. Most people won’t notice, because they don’t know the difference between 8, 16, or over 9000 gb of RAM. I’ve had this discussion with ‘users’ so many times when they ask for pc recommendations, and they just don’t really get it, or care.
