The personal blog I never update is going to need a new #domainname because #Verisign doesn't want to support legacy 3LDs anymore. Fuckers.

If you needed more evidence of how innovation-resistant the domain name industry can be, Verisign is killing off two non-standard services that have been running for a quarter-century. The registry plans to discontinue sales of third-level domains in the .name gTLD, along with an email forwarding service that offered punters personalized email addresses. .name is

US Top News and Analysis | Greg Abel is shaking up Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio. These stocks could be affected
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Greg Abel is rapidly reshaping Berkshire Hathaway’s roughly $300 billion equity portfolio, reportedly unwinding positions linked to former investment manager Todd Combs after Combs left for JPMorgan in late 2025. In his first annual letter, Abel emphasized a focus on a tight core of holdings—Apple, American Express, Coca‑Cola and Moody’s—while eschewing new managers to replace Combs. The move follows Berkshire’s earlier divestiture of about 80 percent of its Amazon stake in the fourth quarter of 2025 and reflects Abel’s intent to assert control over the conglomerate’s investment strategy as he succeeds Warren Buffett.

Exploring some insights of the #DNS root servers, and I discovered this small bump of NOTIMP repsonse codes of a.root-servers.net, operated by #Verisign. I checked other server instances with public statistics, and also k.root-servers.net, operated by #RIPE observed an uptick in REFUSED responses at around that time.
Does anyone have a clue what was going on last year shortly before the Christmas days?

A Break in the Case of Old J-Root Query Traffic
Duane Wessels (#VERISIGN) revisits a 20+ year mystery: why do resolvers still send hundreds of queries per second to J-root’s old IP? Hear how a long-standing bug was rediscovered.
I am just wondering, and this is a question to the #infosec community:
Can't you migrate a #TLD from one server to another including #DNSSEC by first testing your setup with a #canary zone? #Cloudflare speaks about challenges in having RSA/SHA256 on #Verisign's end, but ECDSA P-256 on their end.
I am just thinking, can't you kick this off by constructing a canary zone with similar parameters and test the migration & key-roll-over prior to touching any relevant zones?
Alternatively, sample the zone into chunks and migrate chunk by chunk?
Just a few thoughts on how to reduce risk of #DNSSEC during the migration from zones.
In January 2023, #Cloudflare replaced #Verisign in providing #DNS #registry services for the .gov #TLD. Besides the registry, they also run the authoritative #nameservers.
Verisign ran it for 12 years, and cost the #US #government apparently just half as much as Cloudflare charges ($7.2M).
Cloudflare is to take over registry services for the US government's .gov domain, ending Verisign's 12-year run. It seems .gov manager CISA, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, opened the contract up for bidding last August and awarded it to Cloudflare in mid-December. The deal is worth $7.2 million, Cloudflare said in a press release
