Technitium Blog is the company blog at blog.technitium.com, writing about security and systems. Since 2018, 12 different Hacker News readers have linked it 23 times, most often “For DNSSEC and Why DANE Is Needed”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-04-25, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (8) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Commenters cite its DNSSEC and DANE post and its local root DNS server post as references in DNSSEC and DNS server debates. No comment judges the writing itself.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 8 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussion> Let’s note however that even "owning a domain" is an illusion of control That’s not true. It’s definitely not complete control, but it’s far more “sovereign” and independent than having a user account with some corporation that can change its ToS overnight. To seize a domain, a lengthy legal process is needed. Not to mention, you can choose a domain that doesn’t fall under a specific country’s jurisdiction or choo…

HN discussionI urge everyone to actually read the blog post by Geoff Huston. From what I can tell, it does not say what tptacek says it does.

HN discussionTechnitium advertises itself with being able to serve as a root DNS, in both its documentation and on their blog [1]. So I think my argument is still valid, as it's way too over engineered to be a simple, self-hosted, home lab solution for the problem at hand.

HN discussion> The registrar controls your keys. I've been managing domains with DNSSEC for several years and I've always had control of my keys. Clarification of who controls what keys [1]: The TLD zone's private keys are managed by the company operating it. For a Country Code Top-Level Domain (ccTLD), the government of the country will be managing the key. For popular TLDs like .COM or .NET, it will be the U.S. government thro…

HN discussion> Almost every time anyone mentions DNSSEC here on HN, you pop up like a jack-in-the-box to claim that nobody is using it and that it is dead. And it’s always you, nobody else. Yup. > You might have some valid criticism about the cryptography; I would not be able to judge that (except when you are basing it on wildly outdated information). Yes—context matters. Unless someone knows the details of how DNSSEC works, th…

HN discussionSecure and anonymous, from an entity that hosts their blog on Google? https://blog.technitium.com/ IMHO, this fails the sniff test.
