Sky domestic broadband DNS stale data and intercept layer.

I have seen that Sky Broadband Consumer service has an intercept layer for all DNS queries which can result in stale data problems when servers change IP addresses. Also DNS queries pointed towards nonexistent DNS server will still succeed but may provide old or incorrect data.

Using the Google dig tool on 

https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/dig/

Gives the correct result but the local Sky Broadband command line equivalent look up that is supposed to be using Goggle DNS server ....

% dig  @8.8.8.8  domainname.com MX

Gives a stale out of date answer  hours after the result should have changed.

Given a non-existant DNS server with an address similar to Googles connection is not possible 

% ping 8.8.8.99

Gets you an answer. How is this possible or correct ????

This has the follow on implications :

1) DNS lookup results can be stale or incorrect hours after a change at source.

2) Changing the DNS settings on your PC/Device  makes no difference as the "Sky Results" are used in any case. 

3) All DNS lookups can be recorded / traced at the ISP level.

4) Time to live should be set low on domains that are going to change, then reset after the change has propagated to a longer time, to avoid excessive lookups. This would also avoid any excuse by Sky for keeping stale data when no-one else does.

5) DNS interception by Sky Broadband could be considered a man-in-the middle compromise of the correct functioning of the DNS system. 

6) Of the 6 failures ( lasting over 5 minutes ) of Sky consumer broadband that I have experienced and investigated over the last few years, 3 have been wire to the house failures and 3 have been DNS service failures. The DNS service was designed to be failure resilient by using recursive lookups to higher domains but if all queries are intercepted by an intermediary and that intermediary has a problem the robustness of DNS is compromised.

Only solutions are to use external tools to check against Sky DNS results. Or use a VPN. Not sure if other consumer ISPs have this configuration. A colleague doing the exact same look ups on another ISP server did not see the delay in the domain data being updated.

Fake Psychic - investigations by the BBC and others

Understand the implication of twisting the faith and belief of others by reviewing how psychics and mediums have worked their "magic" to fleece and distort the beliefs of folks.

The true-believer syndrome merits study by science. What is it that compels a person, past all reason, to believe the unbelievable. How can an otherwise sane individual become so enamored of a fantasy, an imposture, that even after it's exposed in the bright light of day he still clings to it — indeed, clings to it all the harder?… No amount of logic can shatter a faith consciously based on a lie.

Millions of children in religious groups in England and Wales vulnerable to abuse.  IICSA report finds victim blaming, abuse of power and mistrust of authority to be commonplace..... The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) said there was “no doubt that the sexual abuse of children takes place in a broad range of religious settings”. It found evidence of “egregious failings” and highlighted the hypocrisy of religions that purport to teach right from wrong, yet fail to protect children. IICSA’s investigation examined child protection in 38 religious organisations and settings in England and Wales, including Jehovah’s Witnesses, Baptists, Methodists, Islam, Judaism, Sikhism, Hinduism, Buddhism and nonconformist Christian denominations.

Coercive control within religious (and other) organisations

A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing: The Eight Elements of Coercive Control Hiding Behind the Mask of Faith

A guest blog post by Patty Bear.   Shutterstock | Isaac Lugalia Arts

Heresy. The very word ignites our collective psyche with haunting images. Questioners have been burned at the stake both metaphorically and literally for centuries, and toxic faith leaders and organizations count on us to remember this trauma, to carry the memory of the heinous cost of looking behind the mask of faiths.

Of course, not all faith communities are toxic authoritarians wearing a gentle disguise. Some are broadly supportive of their members, encouraging the kind of questioning required to nurture an independent conscience and spiritual maturity. However, if you are reading this article, you have probably begun to question your faith environment, or perhaps even stumbled upon the bared teeth of the wolf behind the disguise. Or maybe, like me, you would describe yourself as having religious PTSD. 

I was raised in a sect of the Plain People of Pennsylvania. As a child, I took in the Church teachings and role modeling of my mother and saw my future clearly—and willingly—without question. Though I wasn’t always comfortable with how women were portrayed in sermons, it wasn’t until my teen years that the drilling of female inferiority and subservience into me was upended. Once I was awakened, the coercive control I’d been living under no longer had a place to hide—but the long-term effects had already taken root. 

When I was growing up, I often heard the phrase from the book of Matthew: “Ye shall know them by their fruits.” Toxic faith organizations are quite good at showcasing a smorgasbord of “shiny fruits,” seemingly polished to perfection. For this reason, I have found that a far better metric for identifying those in sheep’s clothing is recognizing their cunning, stealthy, wolf-like behaviors—the rotten fruits that might be more difficult to spot at first.

After the Korean War, psychologist Albert Biderman studied the methods of coercion and control used against prisoners of war to induce false confessions and to manipulate prisoners to betray their country. Since he first developed the framework, it has been recognized by domestic violence and child abuse experts as the universal toolbox abusers around the world use to systematically take control of their victims. To show how these tactics operate in parallel to many spiritual leaders and faith-based organizations, I have applied Biderman’s eight elements of coercive control below with specific examples of what to look for . . .

The Eight Elements of Coercive Control in Spiritual Settings

1. Isolation

• The creation of close-knit spiritual communities separating believers from nonbelievers, subtly or unsubtly discouraging intimacy with those outside the “tribe.” 
• A gender-based hierarchy, often where female members have a lesser status than male members, and sometimes insistence that female members be dependent on male members to be considered “godly.”
• The lending of assistance to down-on-their-luck individuals who come to believe they can’t survive outside the group. 
• The requirement of a dress code or uniform that sets members apart from everyone else. 
• The extinguishing of members’ voices by insisting upon conformity, secrecy, and silence.
• Requiring followers to give up regular jobs in favour of "Approved jobs" in the organisations money raising businesses

2. Monopolizing Perception

• A heavy indoctrination process, such as repetitive sermons constantly reinforcing a few select scripture passages, forced scripture memorization, a narrow religious education, and the vilifying or demonizing of otherness.
• The discrediting of anyone who questions the indoctrination, or the ejection of them from the group as troublemakers. 
• The discrediting of outsiders and family or friends who question the spiritual group’s beliefs or behavior patterns. 
• The discouragement or forbidding of secular education or certain types of books, music, and entertainment so that only the “right” beliefs get airtime.

3. Humiliation and Degradation

• After isolating and monopolizing perception and discrediting others, it remains necessary to discredit the individual themselves or an entire class of people so that they are:

- gradually drained of self-esteem, self-respect, and personal agency 

- weakened in their physical, mental, and emotional ability to resist

- worn down by being treated in demeaning ways, ridiculed for having any needs or independent perceptions, mocked, labeled in derogatory terms, and given subservient tasks 

This can be done by:

- publicly exposing an individual’s vulnerabilities or weaknesses under the guise of prayer, or saving their soul

- targeting individuals for exorcism or ostracism 

- depriving individuals of sleep, meals, or special privileges

- denying individuals participation in group activities, such as kicking them off the mission trip or not inviting them to the group picnic

- demanding members be submissive no matter how badly they are treated

• This process conditions targeted victims to accept increasingly unacceptable behavior without complaint. In other words, what might have once been shocking behavior becomes normalized.

4. Threats

• Designed to create anxiety and despair, threats may be overt or subtle, but they are intended to:

- make abusers’ expectations clear

- induce fear of consequences for challenging the authority or erratic behavior of abusive individuals 

- make clear that, “Thou shalt not question ‘God’s’ representatives on earth, as ‘He’ is beyond question,” and therefore so are his representatives and any demands they might voice. 

This might look like:

- passive-aggressive behavior through comments like, “It would be a shame to lose you as a valued leader/member,” or quoting scriptures that make it clear God sees your behavior or questioning as worthy of eternal damnation"

- overt blackmail, such as threatening to expose a perceived sin

- threats or displays of aggression, physical dominance, and violence

5.  Omnipotence, Superiority, or Overwhelming Power

• Demonstrations of shock and awe, such as performing alleged miracles or claiming to receive visions or special dreams.
• Overwhelming displays of force or disproportional consequences, such as dramatically ejecting a member from the community for sincere questions, noting hypocrisy in the leadership, or separating family members as punishment 
• Brutal and/or public scapegoating of a member in a staged powerplay to demonstrate superiority. Making an example of someone. 
• Open committing of crimes by authority figures.
• Indulgence in hypocrisies or treating others in ways nobody else could get away with. 

All of this behavior further conditions the acceptance of the unconscionable, serving the purpose of demonstrating the kind of omnipotence that generates a profound sense of futility for anyone in disagreement or who would fight back.

6. Enforcing Trivial Demands

• Reinforcement of who has the power and who does not by the making of patently silly demands that serve little apparent useful purpose, such as unnecessary manual labor, or making you apologize to your abuser.
• Communication of no-win messages like answering questions with, “Because God says,” or, “That’s not for you to question,” or, “You just need to have faith.”

7. Induce Exhaustion

• Expectation of members to attend services or be on committees that interfere with their ordinary life. 
• Being pressed into service to the group that consumes large amounts of time, leaving little for self-care or reflection.
• Promote endless striving. One can never do enough, be enough, or be good enough leading members to be drained financially, emotionally, psychologically and mentally. 
• Encouragement to have more children than women would like or can care for (similar to prisoner of war situations where a prisoner may be deprived of sleep to induce a state of confusion and breakdown). 
• Promoting double-bind messages requiring members to guard and promote an idealized public image directly contradicted by a harsher private reality of behaviors and the real rules that must be kept secret. Double binds induce a feeling of being crazy and foster mental exhaustion.    
• Prolonged periods of fasting, prayer, and worship.
• The discouragement to take prescribed medicines or other therapies, often accompanied by guilt-inducing explanations like one’s faith should be enough to heal or sustain. 

8. Occasional Indulgences

• The mostly stick, occasional carrot approach provides positive reinforcement for meeting the abuser’s demands. In the study of narcissism, this practice is called “breadcrumbing,” which is intended to:

- tease the person in a perpetual state just barely above starvation level, but perennially hungry so they will seek favor from the abuser

- exacerbate emotional vertigo as the person gets glimpses of an emotional mirage of kindness in a desert of cruelty that keeps them stumbling along, working to “earn” these indulgences and gain some self-esteem

- give the person just enough favor, love, or reward to keep them in the fold or from seeing the perpetrator(s) as a total monster

- reinforce that a person should feel “grateful for what you get” and guilty if they aren’t slavishly appreciative—this indoctrination keeps a person from focusing objectively on how little they are actually given

With all of these tactics in mind, consider that spiritual abusers often spout the phrase, “In God we trust,” yet gradually groom you to shift your trust from yourself and your Divine connection to trusting in them and in their authority. Though they go to great lengths to appear otherworldly, spiritual abusers in faith-based organizations are merely garden-variety thugs who coerce and control like any other abuser. 

For example, when a child has been abused, they are statistically more likely to encounter abuse by others and even into adulthood. It’s no surprise, then, that when a person leaves a toxic faith culture without examination of the coercion they’ve been under, particularly if it’s all they’ve known since childhood, they are almost certain to seek or be lured by another similar faith-based culture in their quest for belonging or certainty. These “faith-based” cultures may have nothing to do with organized religion; instead, they may take the form of a spiritual group led by a guru, a political party, a coaching group, or a multi-level business opportunity, all of which demand unquestioning obedience. This is why coming to awareness of what has been perpetrated on you is essential. Without that understanding, it is nearly impossible to stand in your own authority and forge your own sovereign path. 

What helps to see this more clearly is to recognize that many controlling faith organizations are based on an authoritarian father figure. Therefore, we can understand these cultures in the same way we understand abusive family structures and domestic violence. Domestic violence abusers employ emotional abuse to destabilize and control the way their victims feel by undermining their self-esteem and self-trust, invading the safety of boundaries, and destroying emotional connections to the important people in their lives. They further employ psychological control measures to confuse and destabilize their victim’s thinking and sense of reality through gaslighting, twisting the truth, humiliating, controlling access to independent facts, and discrediting their victim’s own intuition and conscience. Be clear: any abusive grooming process is designed to disarm a person’s natural defenses and demolish any resistance to the totalitarian control desired by the predator. 

Spiritual abuse employs the identical braiding of emotional and psychological abuse, except that it claims for its authority the omnipotent imprimatur of “God’s word” and/or “God’s will.” In this way, spiritual abusers hijack our natural relationship with the Divine or our Higher Self, and claim that power to translate and interpret scriptures to advance their abusive aims, and to provide themselves diplomatic immunity should any accusations arise. In fact, spiritual abuse tactics provide the means for indoctrinating congregations and/or entire segments of the population into a subservient role controlled by those who use “God’s will” in self-serving ways. 

Unfortunately, faith is the perfect Trojan horse for the kind of unquestioning obedience abusers crave, often to further a hidden agenda of bolstering personal ambition, padding bank accounts, justifying sexual proclivities, and feeding an insatiable lust for power. 

Precisely because we have been trained to honor the taboo against questioning, faith-based organizations make the perfect place for abusers and abusive belief structures to flourish unchallenged. However, if we can recognize and demystify the tactics of abusers, we then have the ability to pull off the sheep’s clothing and drain the wolves of their power.

Drag and Drop behaviour has certainly changed in OSX Monterey 12.0.1

 The Drag and Drop behaviour has certainly changed in Monterey most noticeably in the "Grab and drop" actions.

Factors that demonstrate this issue are:

• Using list or column view for folders - The select, drag and drop action works, in the same folder with same files when in Icon or preview view modes.
• Using a trackpad does not work but a magic mouse does work. You can have both plugged in at the same time and see the different behaviours.
• Accessibility options for pointer System preferences -> Accessibility -> Pointer control -> Trackpad options -> Enable Dragging
• Drag to move action seems to be a bit intermittent, sometimes works sometimes not.

Note that under "Pointer control" there are sub options "Trackpad options" and Mouse Options but only under trackpad is there an option to Enable Dragging. The Enable dragging choice has With drag lock, Without drag lock and Three finger drag.

Setting The enable dragging choice to Three fingers just upsets Mission control Desktop management. Enable dragging with drag lock seems to work best.

Workaround

When using a trackpad in list or column mode, after selecting the files to move briefly push [alt] key to grab and move the files. The [alt] key will trigger the "copy files on move" action but if you release the alt before dropping the files the action reverts to a move rather than copy (when moving with in the same disk volume).

Other folks have reported that switching off force and Septic feedback fixes this behaviour.

Set the Trackpad option to enable dragging.

Mouse option

Synology NAS920+ A great device for the computing community

Update Aug 2025

Comments by NASCompares about Synology choosing to limit HDDs to own brand drives only.

And Ars Technica https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/04/synology-could-bring-certified-drive-requirements-to-more-nas-devices/ 

The latest 2025 Devices require Synology branded drives ( made by Seagate with special firmware apparently)

------------------

Update Nov 2024 A couple of articles for further reading

Ars Technica : “Clearly predatory”: Western Digital sparks panic, anger for age-shaming HDDs"

Wired : Zero-Click Flaw Exposes Potentially Millions of Popular Storage Devices to Attack

The SynologyPhotos application package comes preinstalled and enabled by default on Synology’s line of BeeStation storage devices but is also a popular application downloaded by users of its DiskStation storage systems ...

--------------------

Remember - digital data can both last forever and be gone in a milli-second. The difference is backups and reliable storage devices.

This is a great NAS from Synology,  a company with a solid reputation and great support organisation.

Storage devices are as important as the main PC in any computing environment that has grown to more than a couple of PCs and devices. Ease of use and reliability are key for on-going satisfaction.

You can move data four main ways between a Mac and the device :

• Up/down load using the File Station software accessed via a web browser,
• Mount a shared folder and use the finder,
• Mount a shared folder and use the command line in terminal.
• Use Time Machine for backups.

Some things I found out along the set up journey:

Use SMB and not AFP for modern Macs.

TimeMachine the mainstay of Mac based backups can be used with with NAS. Shared folders must have the "discoverable by Bonjour" over SMB set on for the shared folder.

When first setting up using bfs be sure to a put in all the drives that will be used.  I started with two drives then added two more but it took the device about 12 hours each to weave the later drives into the existing configuration. This is a result of having to redo the on-disk data redundancy layout for the added drives. 

Use the same size drives if possible - I have 4 * 7TB drives that because of the redundancy scheme this provides 21 TB of storage and 1 drive failure redundancy.  Use proper NAS drives available from WD or Toshiba for best longevity.

Adding 2 * 1TB cache M1 ssd sticks helps performance when the load ramps up but I do suspect that write through to disk happens. Use at least gigabit wired networking, not wifi, for moving larger amounts of data. I was getting reliably about 100Mbytes/second writing from a MacBook Pro with ssd drive over a wired connection.  TimeMachine is a bit slower but not by much. For best performance and ease of use, when copying large quantities of small files, bundle your data into large chunks using disk images made by Disk Manager application. 

I was stuck for a while getting "Not enough space to copy file." messages on both Mac systems that were using the device. After a very pleasant interaction with Synology technical support they found a quota setting on the user name was being correctly enforced. I had forgotten that I had put this user storage quota on early in the testing process.  The support case opened and closed in the same day.

The disk manager software on the NAS has many options and can be extended with extra software. The fine grained controls over users and data access are great. This model has a Celeron processor and I suspect that the virtual machine experience may not be great. However for long term NAS usage lower power consumption is preferred.  Best of all the device and software are activity supported by a mature company with a long track record.

Let's talk about the noise.  In a silent office you can hear the device but it's not unpleasant. Being quieter than a coffee machine or someone tapping on a mobile phone. I imagine the NAS as a holding place for data chipmunks so the gentle activity noise is reassuring.  Some extra sound dampening would be good though esp. when the drives are spinning up. The device drive activity is not predictable when using Time Machine or multiple shared folders. 

I get the feeling that I have only scratched the surface of the features of this device but I have been very impressed so far. Overall a great device with the reassurance of an active support organisation, a very  worthwhile addition to my computer community.

Battery power in case of mains failure can be added with a UPS. When the UPS has a USB connection the Synology device can be configured with the control Panel -> Hardware -> UPS to shutdown automatically when the battery gets low.
