Seems like we could at least get rid of the sharks.

Sharks are great for a fully functioning ecosystem, Cloudflare on the other hand is more like Jellyfish.

Ticks that can breathe underwater.

People wouldn’t use it if it didn’t work. It has its own downtimes but that’s nothing compared to how a DDoS attack from a bored skiddie might take you down.

Hey @cloudflare, how come you’re protecting beamed.st, the DDoS service that’s attacking Ubuntu?

It’s a protection racket don’t fall for it.

The “sharks” are actually Russian submarines.

We’re working on it

what is the thing with DNS? why is it 2 thin slabs?

DNS is held up by a surprisingly small number of root servers. Their physical locations are not disclosed.

No what? The geographical locations for all 13 root " servers" and who manages them are well known (the only problem is the US is in charge of all of them). The actual number of physical servers is significantly greater. Actual requests are serviced using IP Anycast and can scale significantly better than connection-oriented services.

Misconfiguration is the bigger issue. Dnssec is not easy to get right, while caching makes things harder to fix immediately.
