It was me, sorry.

It was me, sorry.

I'm pretty sure (without looking) that it was a DNS issue.

You're insinuating that the Let's Encrypt roots are compromised?

No, but it’s a well-established fact that some CAs are run by governments, some of which are publicly trusted by browsers.

The mainstream root stores all require Certificate Transparency now.

The one I wrote in Perl did. It also worked. https://github.com/pgporada/ourperlgame

I always find stories like this fascinating and heartwarming.

Why?

B/c:

- My wife is not nerdy or technical at all

- In fact, I'm the only one in my entire extended family (cousins etc) that is technical

So anytime I hear a story about married couples where both are SWEs (or equivalent) it's wild to me.

It's not, we've had multi-hour long outages before. We learn from our mistakes, adapt, and continue on.

It's DNS, we're working on it. Sorry, thank you for bearing with us.

It's not DNS

There's no way it's DNS

It was DNS

Five stages of DNS outage:

1. Denial: It’s not DNS.

2. Anger: What the fuck is it!

3. Bargaining: Maybe it’s a firewall, or Cloudflare!

4. Depression: We’ve checked everything…

5. Acceptance: It’s DNS.

LOL. I just went though this the other day. my site was intermittently non-accessible. DNS was the last thing I thought it was until I ran a crawler on my site and spotted some 404 errors. Found that my non-www. url was pointed at the wrong IP and I forgot to update it when I transfered my domain to a new host.

whoa whoa whoa.. slow down! you dont just leap to "It's DNS"... you have to try to blame everything else first before you get to DNS. it's like foreplay!

when all of the interns have jumped around the corner before the blame hammer was wielded, you have to move to the next item on the list

It's always either DNS or MTU.

(Or, as I recently encountered, it can also be a McAfee corporate firewall trying to be helpful by showing a download progress bar in place of an HTTP SSE stream. I was sure that was being caused by MTU, but alas no.)

That ttl is a killer, eh?

even as a full blown type 2 diabetic*

Are you being pedantic on purpose?

I had _just_ pushed an updated actions workflow, saw that it began to run, and noticed that my entire repository was 404-ing. Not gonna point fingers, but uh, sorry everybody.

I knew it.

What about Brett Harrison? Where did he dissappear off to?
