A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Kinda ironic this is published to a website with a
.toccTLD for the Kingdom of Tonga.My former company had a .bb domain for internal services because it rhymed with the name. We had constant outages whenever a storm was hitting Barbados…
Interesting, that's not something I ever thought about. I just looked up the nameservers for

ns1.nic.bbdoesn't resolve, and for 2-6, they're all in either64.68.192.0/20or64.119.192.0/20, so it does look like a small concentration in root nameservers which could be unavailable in a storm.Some times someone’s clever joke can have unforeseen consequences. There must be a razor for that. Or at least a xkcd comic.
