Dyn (Managed DNS) DDoS...

Yes, my sites were affected by this outage. A lot of big-name sites were too (Twitter, Spotify, github, SoundCloud, Reddit, etc.).

And no, I don't use DNS management software like Netflix' Denominator, I really don't have a need for 24/7 uptime on any of my sites / sub-domains. They are strictly for demonstration- / entertainment- and hobby-purposes.
