Jaz: Any idea where they may be hosting their DNS server? Could be that it's not performing/behaving well. Potentially related to Google Domains -> Squarespace migration thing?

Another day of this Invalid Handle nonsense and I'm gonna set up one of my other very stupid domains as my custom handle. eatf.art nft.bs dogvomit.shop tubesteak.biz I have like six pages of these at my domain registrar

@jaz.bsky.social, is this the same issue as the handle cache invalidation you've fixed recently, or a different problem?

I'm getting DNS timeouts trying to dig `effinbirds.com` at the moment from 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare's DNS)

bsky-debug.app/handle?handl... Seems like something wonky might be going on with the DNS at the moment. I'm unable to resolve a TXT record there no matter what DNs servers I use cause they're all getting "..time limit exceeded" from the DNS servers.

Bluesky Debugbsky-debug.app

Seeing this behavior both from our prod systems and my own personal home internet.

Interesting; I also see that with 1.1.1.1 and 4.4.4.4, but not with 9.9.9.9. Weird thing was that the app settings showed it as validating correctly:

Nope, setup hasn't changed on my site, and it validates correctly in settings. Users with the same problem report that it requires help from Bluesky support, which I have requested.

Wait, 1.1.1.1 is now resolving it again for me.

The internet gremlins are definitely pulling shenanigans; CloudFlare is only partially working

Rebel says it's a mass outage at Cloudflare

Oof, okay well we may just have to ride it out until CF gets their shit together. They're like, 1/2 of the internet at this point which is kinda wild. I checked their status page and it didn't say anything but it never does until after significant incidents anyhow... Thanks for hanging in there.

I've swapped us over to Google's public DNS servers for now to see if it'll help. Looks like you're resolving again!

Thanks!

I can confirm that it does seem to work for Aaron.

Yah, welcome to the modern web, which is actually about 9-10 SPOFs. More like a threadbare shawl than a net…
