Oldest whale bone tools discovered in Europe reveal Stone Age humans used marine resources 20,000 years ago

A recent study has revealed that humans living on the Atlantic coast of modern-day France and Spain were crafting tools from whale bones as far back as 20,000 years ago—much earlier than previously thought...

Exploring #DNS4EU a little further and throwing myself back to research I was involved in a while back (https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.05638), surprisingly shows that the #European #resolver shows no problems resolving the sanctioned entities of #RussiaToday and #Sputniknews.

An oversight? I would be less surprised if the unfiltered #resolvers resolve the domain names, but even the protective ones resolve to the correct domain names, revealing that #DNSblocking is not applied on #EU cyber-resiliency flagship project.

Another thought about #DNS4EU :

The protective nameserver responds much faster on #IPv6 than it does on #IPv4. Good job, #Whalebone!

On n'utilise plus les fanons des baleines dans la corseterie (heureusement !) Il existe différentes sortes de baleines, je choisis toujours le type de baleines le mieux adapté pour chaque corset, en tenant compte des besoins de la personne qui va le porter.

Pour ce corset historique, qui est une réplique d'un modèle des années 1870, j'ai utilisé des baleines synthétiques, qui ont des propriétés similaires aux vraies baleines d'époque.

Last week was another stakeholder meeting on #DNS4EU. #Whalebone provided a short overview of the project including a timeline. Public launch is scheduled for June this year. The talk elaborates on various considerations of the new #DNS project. I was mostly interested in the deployment aspect, the #DDoS slides and the #privacy and #anonymization mechanisms.

My personal main concern with the project is the absence of resolver technology. The project plainly uses the #KnotDNS resolver. Not a bad choice, but University taught me that diversity in the backend software introduces even more resiliency. Yet, as Whalebone is a #Czech company, it is apparent why they chose #KnotDNS exclusively.

The slides are public.

EU-Kommission erteilt Zuschlag für europäische DNS-Resolver

Wer DNS-Resolver betreibt, weiß, wohin seine Nutzer surfen. Die EU will eigene Resolver als Gegengewicht zu Anbietern wie Google und Cloudflare aufbauen.
