yeah my .de sites were down. their entire DNS failed.
Unix epoch, people.... It's a perfectly valid format for serials, and has the advantage that it is by definition "auto-incrementing"
That particular serial points to May 7th, which is probably when the last change was performed.
So denic even can travel into the future? Amazing.
Don't worry about this guy. He probably also believes that the internet was invented in the 1960s because thats what they told him. Downright ridiculous.
@bogd wake up sheeple!!
Well, he is right with "perfectly valid format for serials" although it goes against common - and reasonable - professional practice. But then, denic always was and is different (and weird).
I was more surprised by him not even looking at the relevant dates and also by his "by definition auto-incrementing" nonsense.
But still, I saw no reason to attack him personally for his opinion. Let's be polite and friendly as long as possible.
Well, at least they became somewhat usable to private individuals when the EU had their whois data stroke, which negates the general German idea of if you do anything on the internet everyone shall know your home address.
You are right. I should have controlled myself. It is just sometimes hard to stomach when people distort history and act like packets were never transported by carriage with round trips easily taking 3 to 6 months
You are correct about the practice, but (to be fair) the use of dates as serials is not really a standard (RFC1912 is just informational).
I also prefer the date format for serials, but I have met people who prefer timestamps, and I never had any good argument to use against them
I am not sure what you mean here. When I looked at the serial (just before posting), it was May 7th. And the timestamp at that time pointed to an earlier time on the same day.
If you are talking about the timestamp in the post I was replying to, that points to May 5th ( 1778020921 is May 5th, 22:42:01 UTC). Since the post was made on May 6th, I still do not see the time travel you mention.
The timestamp format can be beneficial in certain scenarios, where you need to be able to generate a zone file that is guaranteed to have a higher serial, without referencing the existing one. For example, a zone file generated via automation from a template.
I saw no personal attack. Keep in mind that I am new here, so I might be oblivious (or... immune?) to some more subtle forms of attack
Its not just denic, Cloudflare, Google loads of big tech. They dont gaf about RFC1912.
