Introducing ns-ovh.sslip.io:

  • located in Warsaw, Poland
  • IPv4: 51.75.53.19
  • IPv6: 2001:41d0:602:2313::1

The raison d'être of this is to take the load off ns-aws, which jumped from $12.66 → $20.63 → $38.51 → $62.30 in the last four months due to bandwidth charges exceeding 100 GB.

Dismantling DNS-backed key-value store, k-v.io

  • I'm no longer engaged on setting up k-v.io; I thought it'd be cool to have a DNS-backed etcd implementation, but now I don't care anymore.
  • There were technical challenges, too: Specifically, updating values did not play well with DNS caching — you'd get the old value after updating.
  • If the service became popular, I'd quickly run out of disk space on my tiny cloud VMs.
  • The service would most likely be used by people doing data exfiltration via DNS. I already have enough problems with sslip.io scammers — the last thing I want is to sign up for dealing with k-v.io scammers.
