| Crazy. I can't remember an incident like this ever happened before and it's still not fixed? .de is probably the most important unrestricted domain after .com from an economical perspective. Millions of businesses are "down". |

| I remember when .com went down, in July 1997. https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/library/cyber/we... |

www2.nytimes.com.
Neat. |

| DENIC apparently resolved all .de domains to NXDOMAIN in 2010: https://www.theregister.com/2010/05/12/germany_top_level_dom... |

| It's Germany, pessimistic time estimation + 1/3 and you are in a realistic time frame for the issue being resolved. |

| ▲ | TacticalCoder an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | > Yeah it's only the third largest economy in the world You can both be the 3rd biggest economy in the world and still only be 1/10th of US+China GDPs combined. And only three companies in the Top 100 for Germany: https://companiesmarketcap.com/ Germany is the kingdom of the "mittelstand": many, many, many SMEs. Both GP and you are right: it's the 3rd largest economy in the world and yet it's simply not that big. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mittelstand In other words: I expect this German DNS SNAFU to have 0.000000001% impact on the world's GDP this year. | | |
| ▲ | ulfw 7 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | How is 1/10th the size of number 1 and 2 COMBINED small? In what world is that a small number? Especially as those two are 1.8 billion people vs 0.08 billion for Germany | |

| Well it was already very late in the day (21-22?) so the impact was not big I would say |
