Prepare for more frequent BIND security updates

Plan for more frequent BIND security updates, at least for the remainder of 2026.

Are there any other Android apps that manage both Bluesky and Fedi accounts like Openvibe? They're going paid and the free version now wastes characters on an ad for them in every crosspost, so I am looking at alternatives to decide whether to buy it or abandon it. Basic feature set I like from Openvibe: crossposting w/threading support, shows a common chronological feed of both my accounts, & applies a common muted words list. Boosts appreciated.
argh. there's something very broken with the R53 registrar sync. it is eventually consistent. but _eventually_ is more than 3 days, by my testing.
In addition to the Jordan IDN which has been broken all month, I'm starting to investigate the .cw (Curaçao) zone which has intermittent failures for a couple of weeks now.

been using R53 as a registrar bc I worked for AWS and updating DS records was easy via lambda and api. But the R53domains API or reseller sync has been broken for quite some time and I've had to turn off my automation.

So any registrar suggestions welcome. Currently leaning towards porkbun.

Jordans IDN zone fails

Jordan's IDN zone has a long running outage

The first ongoing outage is Jordan's IDN xn--mgbayh7gpa (الاردن.). They appear to have misplaced their signing infrastructure.

their monthly sig roll didnt occur a few weeks ago and now all sigs are expired.

I'm restarting my project to monitor dnssec issues in TLDs.

a fact that many non-australians are unaware of is that Russia robbed us of our best chance at Eurovision victory. Specifically their professional jury.

The country that beat us and won was Ukraine.

There's a metaphor there somewhere
