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.

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 DNS Rolodex is beside my slide rule and abacus.
Ah yes. BIND v1.
My company actually used a whiteboard instead of a DNS for our internal network. We used it as a temp solution during setup, then 5 years later it was still in use. It worked quite well.
Oh, you like the internet? Name every IP address!

As we all know, it's always DNS.
It's insecure, which lets governments like China poison it. They straight up block encrypted DNS
It's not insecure at all, quite the opposite. Also with DoH, it blends into regular traffic.
DoH is blocked in China, they cut any TLS connection to a known DNS server (1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, 9.9.9.9, etc.)
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.
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
