Wonderful. Not sure why this happened. Domain still under my control.

Well this sucks. I'm on vacation and don't really have the keys/2fa things in easy reach to tweak my DNS settings. It might be offline for the weekend - sorry for inconvenience.

Guess my move from Google -> Porkbun blew out the ALIAS/CNAME I had, presumably because I was doing the DNS via Google and Porkbun just moved those NS, which were terminated when the transfer completed. My mistake.

Found some time - setup the A, AAAA and CNAME on www. Unfortunately I'll have to wait for dns propagation to move from Google to Linode.

Closing as resolved. Many mistakes were made.

I transfered Google to Porkbun, unaware my NS records for this domain were on Google.

Google killed serving those NS records and they all disappeared, which led to this issue.

So I used Porkbun and setup the records using the new ALIAS record. Nothing was resolving after a full day of vacation so I figured that new type wasn't fully supported.

I changed to the Github A records, but I couldn't use more than 1 A record. So decided to move NS records again, this time to Linode where I host other DNS.

Once I checked the next day, I saw partial success, but mostly failure. I looked and saw it was DNSSEC validation failure. I had failed to disable DNSSEC prior to transfer so I thought I was screwed.

Turns out I could just remove the DNSSEC record from Porkbun as Linode didn't support natively generating them. All was resolved shortly after.

Lesson learned. Don't do migrations prior to vacation.
