One thing I miss about being active in the TYPO3 community is that they always had their big annual meetups at Alpine ski resorts. Whereas WordPress meetups are held in the auxiliary conference room at the Airport Ramada Inn
catz2nsd configures NSD using a zone as a catalog zone. It reads a configuration file and updates NSD using nsd-control. (Note this is not an integral catalog-zone implementation for NSD but an addon.)

A new study finds 3,000 websites on which third-party tracking companies scoop up what you type into forms in real time — even if you never hit submit. This happens on about 1,800 websites for E.U. users too, likely in violation of the GDPR.

Interesting feature in Knot's catalog-zones implementation. A member zone can have a TXT record (what else ;) indicating the name of a Knot template to use when instantiating the member zone on a secondary.

Quick turnaround for feature requests in BIND 9:
Last week during a training at #Linuxhotel we've found a asymmetry in the way how dnssec-settime (a tool to set DNSSEC signing events on BIND 9 DNSSEC keys) works.
Yesterday I opened a ticket.
It was fixed 2 hours later 😍

@jpmens you might also be interested in zonemd-verify ( https://www.knot-dns.cz/docs/3.1/html/reference.html#zonemd-verify ) as that also covers delegation NS records and glue.
Daniel of @KnotDNS made me aware that Knot can verify a zone when loading (also from XFR). https://www.knot-dns.cz/docs/3.1/html/reference.html#dnssec-validation Similar in concept to CREDNS https://jpmens.net/2012/04/19/dnssexy-a-dnssec-proxy/ but without external verifiers
