So it's a double cancellation of it that bring it back to the original phrase? To show that they didn't take it seriously because it isn't actually true, but then they found it was true in this case, or at least it felt true if all other cases were ignored? Like it was sorta true but not completely since another problem might have had a non DNS issue at its source?

I feel like I see what they're saying but I'm still confused at what's getting communicated. Just "sometimes DNS can actually be a source of problems?"

From many years ago on the #osspodcast

Episode 184 – It’s DNS. It’s always DNS

https://opensourcesecurity.io/2020/02/24/episode-184-its-dns...

If you look at a lot of outages and incidents, DNS is a common problem.

So a better headline might have been "It is, indeed, always DNS?"

Except that would be factually incorrect.

The title of the article doesn't convey what i would call useful information, but at least it checks out.

The article begins by explaining exactly that.

I read the article but the title is still difficult for me grammatically.

It's probably really only "funny" if you're familiar with the meme. In that way, it's like many inside jokes. You can't really logic it out. It's like, when someone explains a joke to you, you can now understand why it's funny, but you can't put yourself back in that place where the joke would hit you with the intended impact. Don't worry about it.
