What an interesting story. Guy who writes dns server fights tirelessly to keep the internet under democratic control, gets bullied by google and cloudflare usurping control of the domain name system, declares defeat and decides to take an easy job being an overseer of intelligence agencies. Well maybe not exactly, but thank you for everything you did to support the community with PowerDNS. It's always a loss when founders of important projects like this need to step back because certain kinds of passion just can't be replaced, but I'm sure you left it in good hands.


Nice description :-) And yes, I am convinced PowerDNS is in good hands.


Also, Google has been very civil.


well now you've got me curious about cloudflare...
