People don't believe me when I say how much DNS matters. So I wrote a song about it.

That's weird to me. I have been working in sysadmin/DevOps for over a decade, but it did not take me very long to learn that DNS outages cause massive problems.

Right, but everybody has to learn that at some point. And I happen to be somebody who teaches such things. The importance of DNS is hard to overstate, but I go to great lengths to do exactly that, to make a point ;)

dns, DNS, dns, dns. The start of every process, dns.

Love this.

Thank you! I'm glad that landed where I wanted it to. It was a lot of fun to put together. I keep threatening to make a video. I need a collection of DNS memes so that I can just sideshow them.

Haha please do, a video would be great. Your song reminded me of the song: "Find the Longest Path" which you may get a kick out of:

Sounds amazing! Do you maybe have a direct link? Soundcloud doesn't want us privacy-conscious users browsing their website :(

As you wish :) https://meetryanflowers.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/DNS.m...

Should probably have a script play that on loudspeakers when monitoring detects problems /s
