in doubt? worried? unsure about the state of your NS network?
just start a resonance cascade by notifying all servers about all zones
one simple click. you surely will not regret Notifying All #SERVFAIL

Sometimes the question comes up if we have any DNS servers to point at. The answer is no, we only do authoritative DNS (for now anyways :neocat_3c:).
There are multiple other projects that do recursive DNS in the EU or based out of the EU though, like
- https://quad9.net (@nprofile…pd7u)
- https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls (@nprofile…nhm6)
- https://stats.ffmuc.net/d/tlvoghcZk/doh-dot (@nprofile…6yug)
- https://digitalcourage.de/support/zensurfreier-dns-server (website in German, @nprofile…z47m)
https://european-alternatives.eu/alternative-to/google-public-dns also has some more

There is also a third DNS class, HS (Hesiod) which is basically /etc/passwd but served over DNS.

we offer a Paulaner Spezi to anyone who significantly contributes to cracking this case (and meets with us sometime in the future) ~d

:boost_ok: Request to all testers: if you can reproduce the “servfail-web logs me out as soon as i log in” bug, please try doing that and send us a screenshot from the devtools browser console!
The bug usually manifests with spurious logins/logouts, and can be mitigated selecting the “Remember me” option. None of us from the core team has been able to repro it so far, and most (all?) occurrences so far were on MacOS systems (although scattered between different browsers).

we’re happy to announce that our #38c3 talk “we made a globally distributed DNS network for shits and giggles” has been accepted! :ablobcatbongo:
we’ll talk about the project, DNS-related oddities, what Merlin had for lunch that day, and much more! See you there! ~d
