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.

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?

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.

It’s really important for kids to see themselves reflected somewhere in the world. This is nice.

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.

Congratulations, you are now an art critic!

Seriously… that’s basically what you’re doing, curating your own list based on what you think is important. And it’s great! I’m the next step down on the food chain, the guy who devours the curated lists that people like you spend time putting together. Thanks!

Agreed, sadly they still meet the definition. As much as it pains me to admit I’m the same species as them.

What the shit is that headline? Humans caused ALL of this! The fucking robots aren’t in charge yet.

Because many people believe any use of gen AI is unethical due to how it was created, in addition to how the people in charge are using it.

In other words, using it in any capacity is a bad look to a lot of creatives. And other rational people who can foresee the devastating impact it’s going to have on art of all types, government, and society at large.

Cause most of us have no way to pressure them. What am I going to do, threaten to take away the $0 I’ve paid them over the last 20 years?

But, you know, that’s exactly the reason they don’t care about our whining.

You’re not wrong but Mozilla is real busy making Firefox another bad choice among many bad choices.

Maybe it’s time to go back to BBSes. This whole internet thing kinda sucks now.

This is what I have used for the last few years (after being a Firefox user for almost 2 decades), and yeah we’re probably safe for a little while, but it seems the writing is on the wall. The LibreWolf team can only do so much when the core browser is constantly being enshittified. I hoped this was a flash in the pan thing and LibreWolf would save us until Mozilla regained its senses, but it seems they’ve gone batshit.

I too will be keeping my eyes peeled for what to use next.

Stop. You’re interfering with his sense of superiority.

Something any (real, trained, educated) developer who has even touched AI in their career could have told you. Without a 3 month study.

Calling someone a liar isn’t a great way to start a discussion.
