.de TLD offline due to DNSSEC?

Seems to be fixed now.

You can visually see this anomaly in many of CF Radar's charts: https://radar.cloudflare.com/dns/de?dateRange=1d

On Monday there was a huge outage affecting several cities quite close to Frankfurt because someone cut major fiber line; today DENIC is having a party and right when everyone is drunk this happens because some post-rotation task cannot be completed.

There are too many coincidences happening.

How come I have zero problems with any .de domain I tried accessing in the last half hour?

I work with a few people specialised in IT security, and some of them take their jobs too seriously and will "lock down" everything to the point that it becomes a very real risk that they lock out everyone including themselves.

Fundamentally, security is a solution to an availability problem: The desire of the users is for a system to remain available despite external attack.

Systems that become unavailable to everyone fail this requirement.

A door with its keyhole welded shut is not "secure", it's broken.

Maybe related to this? Crazy idea, but nothing surprises me anymore.
