10ofthose.co.uk. 3600 IN TXT "dbg: src: ds, acme: false"

What Happened

A backend service — almost certainly related to Let's Encrypt or an ACME SSL provisioning script — failed during execution and piped its standard debug output directly into the DNS TXT record instead of a log file. The record reads `dbg: src: ds, acme: false`. The certificate was never issued. The debug log lives on in global DNS.

Full TXT Record Value

dbg: src: ds, acme: false
