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?

I thought I was the only one…. 🥲

Be nice. This is No Stupid Questions.

Sure but that’s even harder!

Stupid hurts, no matter where you’re from.

We do not. We can’t even move solar energy from earth orbit down to earth at any scale that would be economically viable or really even useful.

We lack the material science to build something that large but still light enough to be physically stable AND somehow collect and transmit energy.

We also lack the technology to stop it from being destroyed by space debris even if we could somehow build it.

If you figure that out give NASA a call, they’d be real interested.

They don’t care what you call it, they’ll kill you anyway. Violence is typically the only way for any nation to get new land, and nobody is currently more equipped for violence than the US Government.

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

This was a really great way to start my day. It warms my heart to see Americans treating these nazis the way they deserve to be treated.

Terry, Sarah, this is what you get for voting for a hateful monster. Twice. You can starve for all I care. Your choice has led to death and destruction.

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.

Murderers. Their time is coming.

Do your part if you can, when the time comes.

So, when humans are involved they are inherently bad due to the reality of human nature. Got it.
