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.

Who invaded who?

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.

You really would not want to live in an area that small with 29,999 other people.

Also, fuck Texas.

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.”

Yep. Back to the office means soft layoff, always. After 20 years in corporate America I learned firsthand that Execs truly are dickbags with only rare exceptions.

Don’t

Sadly, I still lack the ability to read minds of other Lemmy posters. I was just explaining where the smoking math came from.

2000k = 2,000,000

I don’t watch even half of what they put out but I’d say he’s the best tech journalist in the biz right now (for this niche). You say complaining, I say reporting. I love hearing him call out the absurdity of these corpos.

I don’t like boomer humor that pits the sexes against each other. You do you though.

I mean, I have literally overheard a cruise ship ‘tourist’ disembarked in Cozumel, Mexico, loudly complaining about the lack of English speaking staff in the surrounding restaurants and stores.

The hilarious part is, just about every Mexican working in that part of the island speaks great English, since tens of thousands of cruise ship morons get offloaded in that same spot 6 days a week.

I’ve traveled all over this planet. If you’re having actual, real problems communicating with locals, it’s probably because you’re an asshole.

Women perfect. Men horrible.

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!

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.

Logitech makes decent, and sometimes great, hardware.

Their software division is run by clowns and always has been.
