DanAtC··on Leveraging Class E address space to mitigate IPv4 exhaustion issues in GKE
There's no such thing as "backwards compatible." The IPv4 packet format is set in stone with 32 bit addresses. The "just add more bytes" meme doesn't make any sense.
DanAtC··on Gentle Guide to Self-Hosting
I like the concept, but only 5 IPs? With IPv6 you should be offering at least a /64 per tunnel.

DanAtC··on Avoid ISP Routers
AT&T's IP passthrough isn't a true layer 2 bridge. It's a NAT hack that allows the same public IP(v4) address to be used by the ONT/router and your router.

As such, you're limited to the resources of the ONT/router. For example, the number of hardware-accelerated flows is limited (~8000 I believe? I can't find a source right now).

DanAtC··on Ask HN: Why are 404 Media posts auto-killed?
Ah good point, though I believe their FOIA-based articles are free.

So whoever's loudest, rudest, and wrong wins over someone quiet, polite, and right?

DanAtC··on Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 incident on June 27, 2024
As others have said, DNS is distributed/hierarchical/delegated. But if you wanted to try...

First, grab the root zone file which points to all the TLD nameservers: https://www.internic.net/domain/root.zone

Next, get zone files for the TLDs themselves. Not every TLD makes that freely or easily available, but https://github.com/jschauma/tld-zoneinfo is an excellent resource.

The author of the above repo runs https://netmeister.org/tldstats/ which will give you an idea of scale; they're able to get 98.89% of all TLDs.

(Correction: zone files for ccTLDs are mostly unavailable. That 98.89% is only domain count coverage, not zone file coverage.)

DanAtC··on ISP Router Design Mistakes
"It was never possible to configure your own DNS server in any B-Box ... because of certain laws that require DNS resolvers to forward to fccu-stop.services.belgium.be in case a domain is blocked by the government."

Thank god for DNS-over-HTTPS

DanAtC··on Changes to iOS App Distribution Fees in the EU
You'd think they could cover it with the yearly developer fee and constant hardware updates (Gotta get a new Mac if you want the latest version of Xcode to support the latest iPhone, which you'll also need to run the latest iOS since the simulator is never enough).

This is just greed.

DanAtC··on It's Been a Year and Georgia.gov Continues to Be Hacked
"Responsible" disclosure at best results in an embargo where "trusted" parties get to sit on it while the general public remains at risk. Worst case you get the cops knocking at your door.

(Full disclosure should be done anonymously to prevent the latter from happening anyway)

DanAtC··on It's Been a Year and Georgia.gov Continues to Be Hacked
Full disclosure if you're a good guy, no disclosure if you're bad.

"Responsible" disclosure is anything but.
