> We implemented DNSSEC with NSEC Black Lies

That's pretty cool. Learned something new today.

Best wishes in your new business model!

“As with all bunny.net services, accounts using the platform are subject to our standard $1/month minimum spend, but DNS itself no longer incurs any usage-based charges.”

This is smart. Ensures you have valid payment information, which implies a financial institution is running KYC on your customer. That reduces fraud and abuse while also reducing friction for real users to increase their spend within your ecosystem when a new product catches their eye.

Just responding to Lapsa here - yes, you're shadowbanned. I looked into your post history and it looks like you were banned after making posts on unrelated threads about microwave transmissions causing auitory hallucinations. Dang directly said to you that he'd banned your account: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48173429#48176202

All posts since then have come up dead, except for one about Factorio for some reason.

On a side note, Lapsa, you can test your theory about microwave transmissions fairly easily by simply going inside of a faraday cage. Simplest method I can think of is to go to the hardware/furniture store and stand in a metal storage cabinet. If you can still hear the voices, then it means they're not being transmitted from external microwaves - a microwave capable of causing the Frey Effect can't penetrate thicker metal like that unless there are gaps of ~1cm or more.

If others could please downvote this comment so that it goes to the bottom and he can see it, that would be greatly appreciated!

Finally! Now it becomes economic for us to make the move! Goodbye CloudFlare!

Wow they made something free that I’ve used for 30+ years and have never paid for in my life. Amazing, what an accomplishment! What Herculean effort it must have taken!

What the hell am I missing here?

a free dns service? wow that's insane.

They use .NET. Considering this choice, I doubt they will ever be as good as Cloudflare
