I measured the performance penalty of the 725-entry blocklist, and it
clocks in a 3% to 12%. I want to replace the painful for-loop with a
map, assuming the map works more quickly.
- ns-aws & ns-azure have been replaced by ns-hetzner & ns-ovh
- ns-azure has been completely destroyed (`terraform apply -destroy`);
the elastic IP has been released, so there's no hope of bringing it
back.
- ns-aws has been renamed to "blocked.sslip.io". It no longer answers
DNS queries, but lives on as the website we point "blocked" queries to
that warns about phishing.
- Some of the Markdown files' changes were mere reformatting changes
Meant for obtaining wildcard certs from Let's Encrypt using the DNS-01
challenge.
- introduce a variant of `blocklist.txt` to be used for testing
(`blocklist-test.txt`) because the blocklist has grown so large it
clutters the test output
- more rigorous about lowercasing hostnames when matching against
customized records. This needs to be extendend when we parse _any_
arguments
TODOs:
- remove the wildcard DNS servers
- update instructions
- That's where the code is expected to be
- The only reason the code was buried two directories down was because
it was originally a BOSH release
- There hasn't been a BOSH release in over two years; last one was Feb
26, 2022
- Other than a slight adjustment to the relative location of
`blocklist.txt` file in the integration tests, there were no other
changes
