Mythic Beasts

We've written up the really quite boring changes we made to improve our website. mythic-beasts.com/blog/2026/05/0… We're hopeful other organisations will steal our dull but functional ideas.

4/4 We identified a handful of servers with the vulnerable module built in to the kernel. We've contacted affected customers.

3/4 Prior to rolling out the mitigation, we audited servers and found none actually using the affected module.

1/4 copy.fail mitigation has now been applied to (almost) all customers taking our management service. Following our standard zero-day process, roll-out of the mitigation was staggered by DC.

Our sponsored team of self-driving robot designers are back with a new and improved robot, competing to collect cubes in this years more difficult arena. How did they do? mythic-beasts.com/blog/2026/04/1…

bad news: we've updated pricing on lots of domains good news: downwards mythic-beasts.com/blog/2026/04/1…

Tickets for Electromagnetic Field 2026 go on sale on Monday and we're silver sponsors again. mythic-beasts.com/blog/2026/03/0…

We pulled an all-nighter in Amsterdam recently, surprisingly the next morning everything was much improved. mythic-beasts.com/blog/2025/12/0…

We're out and about again today, off to London for the @LINX_Network member meeting.

@mason_tweet @bt_uk We went upstairs. The view from the top is astonishing.

@Mythic_Beasts @bt_uk Make sure you go next door. Thats where the meeting is, they just use carrier level translation for the address.

Thanks to @bt_uk for hosting the annual #IPv6 council meeting in their iconic tower (and enabling IPv6 for tens of millions of their users).

Off to the #IPv6 council meeting today. With UK adoption over 50% we're now working on connecting up the minority of internet users who are v4 only.

We recently became Accredited .ie Registrars and the first part of our .ie integration is now live. Transfer your .ie domains to us and enjoy our refreshingly boring pricing. mythic-beasts.com/blog/2025/11/1…

@zkBaraka @slimjimmy What would you do with the other three cores? @piwheels does a few hundred million requests per year with one @Raspberry_Pi as the front end web server.

@slimjimmy I'd be submitting my resignation the moment this gets approved. If my service has 50k/day I'd host it on a raspberry pi

less than half a person per service

We've joined the panel for @Nominet s new DNS Fund, they have £370k to be distributed to open source DNS projects and their dependencies. mythic-beasts.com/blog/2025/09/2…

The Green Web Foundation has re-verified that we use renewable energy in our UK and EU zones. #1333" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">app.greenweb.org/directory/#1333

@BenjaminEHowe That should speed up some of our update runs for managed Wordpress by taking our nat64 proxy service out of the path. #ipv6

@Mythic_Beasts I imagine you've seen this but just in case: #comment:26" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3090#co…

Off to the @Nominet members conference today. nominet.uk/uk-members-con…

@BenjaminEHowe Only for customers where we're also providing network services. Inferno might be a good choice otherwise, inferno.co.uk/products/inter…

@Mythic_Beasts do you offer RIPE ASN sponsorship? Guessing not because it's not listed on your website, but figure it's worth asking the question 🙂
