Looks like a DNSSEC issue, not a nameserver outage. Validating resolvers SERVFAIL on every .de name with EDE:

RRSIG with malformed signature found for a0d5d1p51kijsevll74k523htmq406bk.de/nsec3 (keytag=33834) dig +cd amazon.de @8.8.8.8 works, dig amazon.de @a.nic.de works. Zone data is intact, DENIC just published an RRSIG over an NSEC3 record that doesn't validate against ZSK 33834. Every validating resolver therefore refuses to answer.

Intermittency fits anycast: some [a-n].nic.de instances still serve the previous (good) signatures, so retries occasionally land on a healthy auth. Per DENIC's FAQ the .de ZSK rotates every 5 weeks via pre-publish, so this smells like a botched rollover.

I did some debugging on this today. The results are... sobering.

Memory comparison of AI coding CLIs (single session, idle):

  | Tool        | Footprint | Peak   | Language      |
  |-------------|-----------|--------|---------------|
  | Codex       | 15 MB     | 15 MB  | Rust          |
  | OpenCode    | 130 MB    | 130 MB | Go            |
  | Claude Code | 360 MB    | 746 MB | Node.js/React |

That's a 24x to 50x difference for tools that do the same thing: send text to an API.

vmmap shows Claude Code reserves 32.8 GB virtual memory just for the V8 heap, has 45% malloc fragmentation, and a peak footprint of 746 MB that never gets released, classic leak pattern.

On my 16 GB Mac, a "normal" workload (2 Claude sessions + browser + terminal) pushes me into 9.5 GB swap within hours. My laptop genuinely runs slower with Claude Code than when I'm running local LLMs.

I get that shipping fast matters, but building a CLI with React and a full Node.js runtime is an architectural choice with consequences. Codex proves this can be done in 15 MB. Every Claude Code session costs me 360+ MB, and with MCP servers spawning per session, it multiplies fast.

Hey! I built https://hnbrew.com as a replacement since hndigest.com stopped working. I was a heavy user myself and missed getting my daily digest, so I decided to clone it.

It does the same thing - sends you a daily/weekly digest of top HN stories. Just enter your email on the landing page to subscribe.

Hope it helps!
