“Half AS Interesting” presents “The Seven People Who
Can Turn off the Internet”.
The video (7 minutes) describes how the domain name and
IP address system works, and how there is a complicated system of public and
private keys (comparable to what exists for crypto currency) involved in resolving
a domain name. Ultimately, there are
seven individuals responsible for the integrity of these keys.
No, I’m not one of them.
Sometimes you get a “can’t find DNS” or a NXT DOMAIN
error, that seems to happen when the backbone companies that manage this setup
have an issue (I think one of them is Century Link). One of my Wordpress sites
sometimes gets one of these errors around 9 PM many night.
