IIRC they had issues with a specific DNS resolver - I want to say Googles?


I think it was Cloudflare but you might be right that it was Google - either way, I'm just using default DNS from my ISP, and only had issues for the past few weeks (and only with that one domain, .is not the others - while iirc the known problem with one major DNS provider was due to some choice of DNS setting that means all archive.today domains are affected not just one/some.)


No matter which upstream DNS you use, if you have a local resolver, you might be able to configure it to resolve archive domains with google's dns, which has consistently worked for me for years.

If you use dnsmasq (either bundled inside pihole or not), this line in its config will make it use google dns to resolve archive.is and archive.ph:

  server=/archive.is/archive.ph/8.8.8.8
I started using blocky instead of pihole recently, and I have this in my blocky config.yaml to do the same thing:

  conditional:
    fallbackUpstream: false
    mapping:
      archive.is: 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4
      archive.ph: 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4


Actually, all resolvers that hide the EDNS Client Subnet


It's with Cloudflare's resolver


I'm a man of simple pleasures - I see Aphex Twin, I upvote


i still fall asleep to the selected ambient works. aphex twin was truly ahead of his time. If you want another awesome ambient album, i highly suggest BT's If the Starts Are Eternal, So Are You and I for awesome ambience.


Tbh, I feel like you wouldn't get much benefit avoiding Boeing specifically - but would be interesting to see the data and be proven wrong!


I think, like me, this is about sending a message to Boeing.


> would be interesting to see the data and be proven wrong!

Here's some data

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_737_MAX#Accidents_and_i...

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40010992


Ok, now let's see some data denominated by number of flight hours.


LOL. Imagine having multiple whistleblowers telling you about widespread criminal negligence at Boeing manufacturing facilities, then all you say is "Ok, now let's see some data". The fucking clowns on this site. LOL.


This is called a "strawman argument."

"Widespread criminal negligence" or not, these incidents are mathematically insignificant using highschool-level statistical analyses.


No it's not a strawman argument. You are missing the point. The article is about a whistleblower reporting criminal negligence at Boeing. It is not a statistical report. Statistics are irrelevant here. However if you want some recent Boeing stats then look at the 737 Max. Two complete losses within two years of its introduction. You must have been living in a cave to not hear about that.

From the article.

"In a virtual meeting with reporters, Salehpour said Boeing was so eager to meet its production goals that it took "shortcuts" when it fastened together the carbon-composite fuselage of the 787. That could dramatically shorten the life of the plane, he warned, potentially causing it to break apart in mid-flight."


You may be correct, but what else can I do other than avoid flying completely?


Seems like extortion IMO - surely a VM could be spun up in any Cloud service for a fraction of the cost?


Love the post-breach obligtory free year subscription to Experian monitoring...


In other news, water is wet.

All joking aside, and even as the article points out re: the T+Cs, is anybody surprised?


Many cloud providers maintain the pretence that their employees don't have access to customer data.

For example, they like to maintain that if you run an amazon competitor hosted on AWS, amazon insiders can't look at sales numbers in your hosted database. Or if you run a google competitor with e-mail hosted on gmail, that google insiders can't view your e-mails. And so on.

Personally I've always found these promises rather hard to believe, but a lot of people have a great deal of trust in them.


I worked for a large cloud provider and that is correct, employees did not have access to customer data. The encryption key in this product is split between a SQL database and the front end servers with blob data being stored outside of SQL (customer data). There was no way for a single employee to get access to both portions of the key to decrypt customer data.

Using AWS when you're a competitor of Amazon seems like poor business decision making.


Who isn't a competitor of Amazon?

Or, better, who isn't a competitor and is also not at risk of becoming one?


If the answer is "everyone" is a competitor of Amazon, no one should be using AWS except for Amazon.


I miss .tk :'(


Anyone got a referral code?


"Allows plugins to make fetch calls that bypass CORS completely."

I'm sure that won't have any risk involved...


1.5m likes in 15 minutes is crazy.


I have zero doubts this is going to surpass 50M views within 24h. Going for the record would be a stretch, but it'd still rank 14th in the list of videos with most views in the first 24 hours.


28M views in just 4h already.

So it's easily going to make the top 10 of all time for views in first 24h, and will be the only non-music video to do so (in the current list):

https://www.alphr.com/most-viewed-youtube-video-in-24-hours/

(#10 is 61.4M. #1 is 108M.)


It's at 67 millions right now, that would put it on 8th place. There's still 11 hours to go, so it should go up a few more places.


90.1 million while it still says 23h.

That puts it at the new #3 rank of all time.

Wow.


Try $1B in one day when it releases!


It was a premiere video so it was a placeholder until tomorrow at 9am. Rockstar just made it public but it was racking up likes before that.


Why do people bother to hit the like button? Like, I just close the window. Do I need to give R* an ego boost or something?
