People claiming there was no antisemitism in the Spanish inquisition.

LibGen downtime is so bad that the uptime monitoring services are being hammered and experiencing issues as users try checking it.

I once was asked by a kindergartner if clams sleep. I was stumped, and we actually have no idea! We know many bivalves have strong biological clocks, often showing circadian rhythms in activity. But as to whether they sleep? No one knows! #clamFacts

BREAKING: we have just completely removed all ads from OSNews. The ad industry sucks, so I've put my money where my mouth is. OSNews is now entirely ad-free, for everyone.

Since this means losing a chunk of income, I would greatly appreciate it if you could support us by becoming a Patreon, by making an individual donation through Ko-Fi, or by buying our merch.

@amy I made a very critical blog post around that time period on my old blog. Got a lot of heat from "self-hosting" guys who were CloudFlare customers.

Look at all the blooming lupines on the side of the mountain, looking like purple lava flowing down the mountain! They're doing what they do best: preventing erosion. I think I shot this near Flateyri in Westfjords, Iceland. (June 2019)

@amy not only did they come up with DoH, they also were the default and only initial provider. They just love gobbling up all your traffic regardless of what you do online.

I wish DNSSEC hadn't been so thoroughly ruined on account of it solving too many problems compared to DoH which creates more problems while solving the same problems as DNSSEC.

Because like rly guys one of these solutions is an incremental improvement and the other is WHAT IF HTTP WAS THE ONLY THING.


Didn't cloudflare come up with DoH?
