Here is how I would diagnose (I’m assuming you have Linux / WSL on a client)

1. Check the DNS record is actually set (yes do it again)
2. Do these steps on the client:
3. dig $domain check which server answered
4. dig a $domain should give a record
5. dig a $domain @server to make sure you’re querying the right server

If none work, probably network issue (DNS boind to wrong IP, firewall, etc)

If 3 and 5 work but 4 doesn’t, your DNS isn’t authorative.

If only 5 works DNS settings on the client is wrong.

If you assume everything is compromised, there is no safety. You have to trust something at some point.

Usually, speaking from a professional IT perspective, people trust encryption. Once you do that, it does not matter how safe or unsafe the place where you store your data is.

AES, the encryption standard used by pretty much everything, is safe. It has not been weakened in any meaningful way since its inception and is also quantum - safe.

You could use for example openssl or Veracrypt or even just 7zip to encrypt it. If you don’t trust these tools, encrypt it twice with two different ones, just put a txt file next to it with the exact steps to decrypt, because you will forget in which order you have done things.

Personally I have a homeserver that is encrypted at rest and then it uses restic to store encrypted backups in the cloud.

Ultrasonic cleaner! Really awesome for glasses, jewelry, all kinds of small stuff. I fill it with isopropanol solution and clean my phone case in it.

Its very unlikely for these reasons:

• limited lifetime
• we have already seen volcanic eruptions which put a lot of SO2 into the stratosphere, and thet did not cause an ice age, so it’s clearly fine if we don’t put too much

Anyway, that’s what research is for.

Thank you, I deleted my post so as to not share false info.

They should re-use that old apple ad “there is an app for that!”

“There is a boxer for that!”

We should put research into stratospheric aerosol injection. We need an insurance to limit climate change if emissions don’t go down fast enough.

We know it works, and it’s at least not catastrophically unsafe as we have already done it with container ships, and seen it happen at bigger scale with volcanic eruptions.

This is a good start:

Mostly moving to hetzner. It’s a bit rough around the edges but works.

One big thing missing is there is no good and affordable WAF. Myra is good but costs at least 10k/month.

I am almost done migrating away from all US businesses as a result of this. I am even drinking freeway cola 😅

I work in IT as a freelance DevOps/Cloud engineer and am advising all my clients to migrate away from AWS etc.

Even sold most of S&P 500 and reinvested into an all-world ex-US ETF.
