If you can’t remember the IP address of every site you’d like to visit, you don’t deserve the internet.
Embrace GNS.
As we all know, it’s always DNS.
It’s insecure, which lets governments like China poison it. They straight up block encrypted DNS
Tbh, if you can’t tap out Ethernet frames with a Morse key and decode the response by watching the blinking of an LED wired to the RX pair then you really don’t deserve to be on the internet. Git Gud.
DNS is hierarchical majesty.
Thank you for this
At first I thought this was a joke, but it’s actually informative 🤔
Right? This was so educational!
Why are catboys/girls and furries always the best at explaining stuff succinctly?? Lmao
They run the internet now so they really know how it works.
Maybe that skill is how they end up with suspiciously high amounts of money.
That’s a cat who knows his networks
Holy crap, this … This … Is very accurate…
Holy fuck I forgot about this video. Classic.
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 😹
Okey, I don’t get it. What’s wrong with DNS?
Is the fact that that link couldn’t resolve your answer to that question haha?
Uh… Please enlighten me on what DBUS has to do with DNS…
It’s d-bussin yoo
When it breaks, it isn’t always obvious or easy to fix, but can cause problems for anything that has to talk to anything else. The biggest thorn it puts in my side is that short names [ThisPC] are served differently than fqdn [ThisPC.MyDomain.com]. Does NotMyApp use short or FQDN to resolve other machines? I don’t find out until the Wireshark.
I have no doubt in my mind that there’s some subset of the suckless crowd that thinks dns is bloat
We should remove all those useless microservices! /s
@scroll_responsibly Laughing in my self-hosted services, on my VPS which use only IP address :blobcatjoy:
*Currently every service is also available via IPv6 :3
My prediction is that we’ll go DNSSEC globally when IPv6 gets mainstream adoption. It sucks how many just don’t care enough.
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
At the current speed that would approximately be in 2087.
Whoa there, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
when IPv6 gets mainstream adoption.
After my death then. Alright, carry on.

This might be funnier than all those Facebook accounts with warnings about “I do not authorize anyone to use my photos!”
Because they’re trying to copyright an internet comment that they posted on a service hosted by someone else, with a creative commons license attached. It’s like a step up in knowing how shit works, but still not knowing enough.
If you really want ownership over what you say… don’t post it on the fucking internet.
Wait lol are people posting that to their comments to use it as claimed ownership? I did not realize that was the intent there
I mean, not really. You own the stuff you create regardless of who’s hosting it. Microsoft doesn’t own the copyright for the millions of projects hosted on GitHub either.
And yet Microsoft made Copilot, and there are currently lots of clueless programmers out there using it to inject code with god knows what licenses into their company’s software.
Which hasn’t been free of legal challenges. Current copyright law doesn’t account for machine learning, which is what allows them to do this. This could soon change.
They’re not going to be absolved of copying code verbatim without following its license.
they’ll be absolved because they’re a corporation
You own the original, which you’ve written on your pc or phone. But the one that ends up on the website is a copy, on which you’ve granted the website owner a non-revokable license to do with as they please ie. a copy-right.
Not really. You’ve granted the owner some rights, such as the right to host your content and present it to any user on the platform, but they don’t own it. Twitter can’t start using any art hosted on their platform for their branding, because it’s no theirs.
They can if the license you granted them says they can. Read it. These platforms usually make you grant then extensive rights. Yes they don’t own the content but given such broad permissions it makes very little practical difference.

So is other guy gonna sue me now and win because I just copy and pasted what they said? This is a joke.
I mean, probably not. That’s such a short post, chances are courts wouldn’t find it copyrightable. And obviously attaching a license at the end of your comments is useless in practice, because no one on the internet actually properly engages with copyright law. Plus suing over copy-pasting someone’s social media post is dumb as hell and no one does that, tho I do think you could technically do it and win, because current copyright laws make zero sense if you actually stop and think about it for any amount of time.
current copyright laws make zero sense if you actually stop and think about it for any amount of time.
So true.
My lawyers will argue that this willful infringement of my rights as the orignal author of the famous 1997 Internet comment “So true” means that you now owe me $4000000 in damages, but I’ll settle for one bitcoin.
There’s an RFC for that
TIL, thanks 😄

Are you trying to… copyright your comment? IPoAC existed prior to your comment.
It’s not even a license, just an abbreviation that people may, or may not, be familiar with.
I really need a link to a blurb about the CC thing, but not today. Basically think AI.
Fair enough
