Wait, Namecheap deactivates your domain name if you have a temporary DNS outage?

It seems it did not, but my glue records are no longer propagating. Still debugging until now.

You should email them about the form and about your domain. Their email address is listed on the website. <https://quad9.net/support/contact/>

Sometimes the upstream blocklist provider will be easy to contact directly as well. Sometimes not so much.

Even without "all-servers", DNSMasq will race servers frequently (after 20 seconds, unless it's changed), and when retrying. A sudden outage should only affect you for a few seconds, if at all.

Unless the privacy policy changed recently, Google shouldn't be doing anything nefarious with 8.8.8.8 DNS queries.

Yeah it's not like they have a long track record of being caught red-handed stepping all over privacy regulations and snarfing up user activity data across their entire range of free products...

Wellp. Incident report: "We posted our first incident report to Cloud Service Health about ~1h after the start of the crashes, due to the Cloud Service Health infrastructure being down due to this outage."

Is collecting a shipping address because PayPal's JavaScript is broken legal under the GDPR?

Yes. Collecting data because it's required to process an order / provide a service would be legal.

You are then responsible for protecting that data too which is why you would prefer not to collect it if possible.

In 2011, Gmail accidentally some people's email and restored it from tape. https://gmail.googleblog.com/2011/02/gmail-back-soon-for-eve...

They'll restore from backups if they screw up but won't restore them from customer request: https://support.google.com/a/answer/9223653?hl=en

Maybe not the entire region. Amazon was reportedly building a data center complex next to the natural gas Hermiston Generating Plant some distance from the river.
