  • There’s nothing to scale. DNS servers are just an address book. There’s only 200 million entries active and visited. 1.1b entries otherwise, which; for a computer isn’t a lot.

    DNS servers replicate down-stream, and the root servers maintain authority. A local SQLite file could handle this easily, and you could always run your own DNS server locally if you wanted to. But there has to be a central authority. That’s why you can have any TLD you want – you run your own DNS. But since nobody sees you as an authority, they won’t be using your DNS.

    Maybe you should.

    This isn’t an “off my chest” post as much as someone ranting about politics. This isn’t stress relief, and as much as I agree with it – it’s basically just yelling at others.

    In fact, seeing it on here raises my stress level quite a large amount because I have done my damnedest to escape it, and it invades everywhere.

    Posting on the internet doesn’t move the needle at all. Slacktivism does basically nothing. I know you want to believe so desperately that your voice on here does anything, but it doesn’t.

    We’re a niche (the perpetually online), within a niche (sitting on fractured clone of Reddit), within a niche (people who actually vote).

    Nothing said or done here will ever make a difference whatsoever.
