For some reason this isn't listed in the release notes, but #Firefox 155 now supports HTTPS #DNS records (RFC9460). It has been +2yrs but it's added now.

used R53 as registrar bc I worked for AWS + updating DS records was easy w/ lambda and api. But R53domains API or reseller sync been broken for quite some time. I had to turn off my automation. So any registrar suggestions welcome. Currently leaning towards @porkbun.com #dns #dnssec #registrar

Why Mastodon is not ready for general use, part ∞
Mastodon post:

Jerry
3h • @jerry@infosec.exchange
If you or someone you know has an account on mastodon.cloud, I would highly recommend migrating to a new server. Lots of instances are in the process of completely blocking mastodon.cloud which will sever all connections for people on
mastodon.cloud. Mastodon.cloud is effectively abandoned, running very old and out of date software with minimal moderation resulting in a good deal of moderation work for those of us running other instances.
I am posting this in hopes that some people on mastodon.cloud see it and decide to take action.

I've heard from a lot of my ex-colleagues at #AWS in the last few days. Seems like the layoffs were brutal in #australia Some who were not laid off are also leaving. The stress of waiting for the next round, which will come just after performance review time, is too much.

This isn’t as surprising as it might seem. Many marsupials have the instinct to climb on something fluffy and they can do it fast. Even when very young. Luckily I only need to worry about ring tails and brushies climbing onto my dog #dogs #dogsky #australia #aus www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

If you're associated with .SE or .NU, is there an explanation why mismatch rates for CDS records suddenly jumped in those zones? could be just a timing thing with a large operator rolling keys at the same time. I'm curious. kalfeher.com/analysis/cds... #dns #dnssec #domains

I've updated CDS tracking charts to show 360 days of aggregated trends. TBH the trend is pretty clear. CDS usage overall is going down and TLD zones are less correct over time. possibly related #dns #dnssec kalfeher.com/analysis/cds...
