Yep. Or stop relying on the internet for everything.

 

Believe it or not.....you can still survive without the internet :)

lol

Someone did a DOS attack on twitter?

So... you're saying I should quit my very-well-paying job and go back to being an electrician or something? I gotta tell you, that seems like overkill.

Stones.  Lots of them.

Wouldnt change my life any, except be more boring.

Maybe run your own caching DNS server and figure out a way to override the TTL on command.

Kinda' like I read from another member earlier, about not being able to pay his online bills.
In a case like this, I simply still write - wait for it - checks, and then - oh my God - mail them in an envelope.

Easy to do, and I don't have that many each month.
Internet goes down, and I can still pay my bills.

This type of thinking, but more of it.

A.W.D.

that has nothing to do with the source of the data and everything to do with action taken by the man in the middle.

as a DNS operator, when you first realize that you have this specific type of DNS problem, you reconfigure your caching forwarder software to ignore the SOA TTL and not expire any DNS entires.
your local DNS data thus becomes "stale" over time (tens of minutes to hours) but at least the vast majority of the data will continue to be correct.

however if you don't know what the problem is, and don't explicitly choose to ignore the TTL, your DNS cache entries expire and are culled.
thereafter the next request to look up www.twitter.com requires a peek at twitter's SOA, which is held by Dyn.  (*)
there is no answer from Dyn because DDOS, thus no IP address resolution for www.twitter.com.  

the only authoritative DNS data for twitter's domains are held on Dyn servers; openDNS does not have SOA for twitter, and either has to look it up via Dyn or cache-and-carry.

(*) this problem is exacerbated to a huge degree because of CDN's (akamai, etc) which -- as a service -- provide geographic locality of DNS responses.
pull up www.twitter.com on a mobile handset in India, and you get the IP address of a twitter server located in India, not San Francisco.

This.
The sun will rise without World Wide Web.

Reminds me, I need a terabyte drive of porn for the apocalypse.

You could leverage your current resource base to carry you more comfortably through anticipated interruption of services, ie keep your own, local supply of food, fuel, electricity, water and communications.

 

pornhub was unaffected, that's all I need.
