Ars Technica : A Chrome feature is creating enormous load on global root DNS servers
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh Feb. 6, 2021

Feb. 6, 2021

The Chromium browser—open source, upstream parent to both Google Chrome and the new Microsoft Edge—is getting some serious negative attention for a well-intentioned feature that checks to see if a user's ISP is "hijacking" non-existent domain results. The Intranet Redirect Detector <https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1090985>, which makes spurious queries for random "domains" statistically unlikely to exist, is responsible for roughly half of the total traffic the world's root DNS servers receive. Verisign engineer Matt Thomas wrote a lengthy APNIC blog post <https://blog.apnic.net/2020/08/21/chromiums-impact-on-root-dns-traffic/> outlining the problem and defining its scope. Read rest of Ars Technica article : https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/08/a-chrome-feature-is-creating-enormo… The APNIC blog post : https://blog.apnic.net/2020/08/21/chromiums-impact-on-root-dns-traffic/ Not aware if this is mentioned before in ICANN circles Dev Anand

Loomio 2.5!
by Jonathan Zuck Nov. 20, 2020

Nov. 20, 2020

They continue to innovate this product. It’s easily the best solution out there for our threaded discussions and consensus building. We CAN hack something together with Slack and Cloverpop but this is definitely better….and open source! Just thought I would share my thoughts. https://blog.loomio.org/2020/11/11/loomio-2-5-release/?utm_campaign=2020-11… Jonathan Zuck | Executive Director | Innovators Network jzuck(a)innovatorsnetwork.org<mailto:jzuck@innovatorsnetwork.org> | O 202.420.7497 | S jvzuck | [cid:image001.png@01D6BE48.7565B1D0]

Venueless platform
by Lutz Donnerhacke Nov. 10, 2020

Nov. 10, 2020

Currently the DENOG12 meeting is held virtual only. They are using https://venueless.org/ which provides the best environment for meetings I'v ever seen. Most important features for me: * It works from the browser. Simply. * It provides separate rooms to have a audio/video/chat connection in parallel to other sessions. There after-session discussions can take place (like in the meeting itself). * You have social rooms to stay in touch with other people (seeing them while talking in small groups) If interested I'd like to make a demo. (Of course you can host it yourself)

Youtube streaming
by Jonathan Zuck Nov. 4, 2020

Nov. 4, 2020

Folks, Until today my advocacy for Youtube streaming was based largely on research and supposition but my wife and I are currently staying in an AirBnB in Tucson with incredibly slow internet: [cid:image001.png@01D6B1C9.9C3721D0] So slow, in fact, that I’m having difficulties maintaining Zoom calls which never happens for me. I’m blessed to live in areas in DC and LA where internet speeds are fast! Last night we attempted to participate in a virtual ritual for Dia de Los Muertos that took place over Zoom and we simply were unable to maintain the connection. Luckily, the event was simultaneously streamed to Youtube which we were able to watch just fine, albeit at a lower resolution than normal. I’ve heard a rumor that the meeting staff didn’t find much difference between the Zoom bandwidth consumption and the Youtube consumption but I’m here to tell you definitively, the difference can be staggering. It’s possible that video use on the plenaries are sharply limited so as to minimize bandwidth usage but that’s NOT the direction we want our meetings to go. We want MORE video participation in our virtual meetings, not less. I say this all to say that regardless of the reports we receive from the meetings team, we need to keep pushing for more widespread streaming to Youtube of both ICANN meetings and our capacity building webinars.
