At first I thought this was a joke, but it's actually informative 🤔

Lol ... DNS is one of the pillars upon which the internets tands, a crumbling mess of a pillar but I'm sure glad we don't have a name system built on hosts files 😹

If you can't remember the IP address of every site you'd like to visit, you don't deserve the internet.

Pro tip, You don't have to remember it. I have all my favorite IPs in a nice address book, keep it in my drawer next to my passwords

My prediction is that we'll go DNSSEC globally when IPv6 gets mainstream adoption. It sucks how many just don't care enough.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

The abysmal adoption of DNSSEC is just embarrassing, and I haven’t heard any good arguments for why we shouldn’t do it. There’s one blog post that gets passed around as justification for not adopting DNSSEC, but it doesn’t really go into any technical detail and is mostly just the author saying “I’m scared of governments and TLDs”… which is maybe fair, but you still have to trust them for regular CA certs and everything, so why not make thr base secure?

Honestly, I might care slightly more about DNSSEC than IPv6 adoption… IPv4 exhaustion and NATing everywhere sucks, but the fact that you can’t trust DNS is like… insane.

when IPv6 gets mainstream adoption.

After my death then. Alright, carry on.

It's insecure, which lets governments like China poison it. They straight up block encrypted DNS

[-] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

It's not insecure at all, quite the opposite. Also with DoH, it blends into regular traffic.

I have no doubt in my mind that there's some subset of the suckless crowd that thinks dns is bloat

[-] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

We should remove all those useless microservices! /s

[-] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

As we all know, it's always DNS.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
