A 2019 update on PowerDNS, Galileo, DoH and other things - Bert Hubert's writings
a day ago
- Joined the RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund selection committee and became a member of the Europol Communication Providers Advisory Group.
- Handed over daily management and technical leadership of PowerDNS to the team, remaining in a spiritual leadership role.
- Launched galmon.eu, a community-driven project monitoring all GPS satellites (including Galileo, BeiDou, GLONASS) in real time.
- Opposed centralized DNS over HTTPS (DoH), arguing for encrypted DNS without moving traffic to third parties, and engaged in activism on the issue.
- Worked on a book about DNA, but progress was slow; expects more news in 2020.
- Galileo project gained industry attention and uncovered oddities in satellite operations, with positive response from the GNSS community.
