It seems .de is having DNSSEC (and potentially other) issues because nic.de is having issues, which appears to host all their root nameservers. I wish the nic.de peoples much hugs and good luck.
I wonder what implications this has for other critical infra that may now suddenly be getting DNS failures. I hope it doesn't cascade.
It really goes to show how fragile the internet is. which is scary given how much we've come to rely on it.
I think we need more backup infra. meshtastic/etc?
note that from what I heard it *should* just be DNSSEC related issues, but as far as I can tell entire domains are down, like google.de and amazon.de are completely unreachable even for me.
edit: it makes sense for domains that use DNSSEC to not reply anything right now. All properly configured domains will have issues as such, whereas non-DNSSEC domains should still be fine (although some people reported issues there too- but I suspect they're all actually DNSSEC-enabled)
text from status.denic.de (their official statuspage) is saying that they're still investigating and haven't fully identified the root cause yet.
did.. anyone ever hear what the root cause was of the denic root dns outage? they just kinda removed their status page and I can't find much more about it, it'd be interesting to know, even if I can imagine it's uncomfortable for them to share
@PileOfOxides @anthropy tldr; "we deployed untested records to live" and "our live monitors don't work"
