Speaking at a company rally in Forest Hill, Louisiana, easyDNS strongman Mark ("The Mark") Jeftovic decried an epidemic of political correctness destroying the DNS protocol.
"Used to be a time, DNS was designed and used by geeks. People with brains. People doing real shit. Cool shit. Online.
Nowadays anybody can plug in a server and expect to connect it to the internet and expect equal access! They start sending out DNS queries from anywhere and they feel entitled to a response… and that my friends, is destroying the internet. That sense of entitlement."
"All of that's gonna change. We're … Read the rest

The US Government has no credibility to compel anybody to weaken security
This is my belated obligatory post about the entire "Apple vs the FBI" episode and whether it should help decrypt the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone. People have commented that I should write something, and I've been reluctant in case I go off in full-rant-mode.
I wrote the entire post and then after I re-read it and thought about it I realized that normally this should not be a big deal. In the presence of a clear crime having been committed, and LEA presenting a legal court order to Apple, this should be a no-brainer. Help them crack the damn phone… Read the rest
Yahoo testing blocking your email access if you use ad-blockers
Last week the news broke that Yahoo had begun testing a new initiative where users with ad-blocking enabled would be denied access to their email.
I've been in this business a long time, we've been through countless DDoS attacks, and a lot of "red-alert" situations. From those experiences I can tell you that users are for the most part pretty stoic and understanding about outages, even if it is causing them serious pressure at the time.
There is one exception to this: email. Mess with somebody's email and all bets are off. People, in a word, freak. Which is … Read the rest
Should Paul Bernardo’s book be banned?
About a week ago Amazon finally dropped Paul Bernardo’s book “A Mad World Order” from it’s online store after coming under pressure from a Change.org petition.
The incident opened a number of ethical and moral questions which I think have gone under-examined. I don’t purport to know the answers, I remember the horrific crimes and at the time was in a band with a drummer who’s day job as a court reporter had him covering the case. He relayed details back to us which were then under a media ban and they were just absolutely horrific. So I don’t really … Read the rest
Parsing #paris.The Wetiko Mind Virus Strikes Again.
As is instinctive after events like this, the world now grapples with meaning. After the profound sadness and grief around last night’s events in Paris, I am now mired in nausea at the reactionary attempts to shoehorn this into one ideological container or another, whether it be: gun control, Islamophobia, NWO False Flags, or “Those French had had it coming”.
Every single one of these narratives disgusts me and in my mind misses the larger and more existential issue of our time which is how can events like this, including their causal and … Read the rest
