A dns server knows what and where things are. That’s its only real job, to tell who’s asking where say, http://eff.org/ is.

“Ay homie, where’s https://eff.org/?”

over here - 173.239.79.200

“thanks, bud!”

The issue is, the dns server you use by default is under the control of whoever your provider is, and as a result, they get all of your dns lookups like the example above as well as every porn site, every piracy site, everywhere.

Installing your own, or simply moving to one your provider has no business with like 9.9.9.9 can help keep your dns queries more private, go a step further and use encrypted dns, as many providers supply, and you’ll be even further covered.

Installing your own, however, comes with the added perk of being able to apply your own dns entries. Suddenly local addresses can have custom names without ever touching a hosts file. Neat! Use DNS certs and you’ve got local SSL!

I would go find something applicable to feed you for a dns 101, but my old resources don’t exist. I just know stuff from years of doing it and failing over and over until things work.

It opened the door to pihole and unbound, then dns certs, man… everything’s so nice now lol

I hosted shit for about ten years before really understanding how local dns worked.

Imagine a primitive society that discovered literally every major modern scientific achievement, but somehow missed the wheel. That’s basically how my first setup went lol.

Little of A, little of B.

Every week Trump loses the entire party or the entire party fails, yet here we all sit in the same hellscape.

Sadly it’s about all they do.

just saying, the guillotine is getting really dusty, guys.

We were the plagues all along.

On brand

Back to the rekt center, Republicuck.

lol, me, invited to a party, that’s rich.

Maybe they should, I dunno… do something about it?

by all means take bribes, just not those bribes.

Elon forgot to write “up to” before his savings numbers. Rookie mistake. Dude needs more time in a mattress store.

You’re right. They held our wellbeing just high enough for us not to riot. Now they know our bottom line is even lower than the meager leftovers they used to give us to make us think they’re the good guys. I’ll still vote for them over Republicans but the “good cop” party only cares about us as far as it gets them.

Now, that’s gonna change, hopefully. “The Democrats” that are pre-Trump are going to be seeing a bit of a socialist makeover before there’s any power grab by them ever again. The Democrats we knew won’t be The Democrats we know soon enough.

you just wrote ‘die’ on a piece of paper…

“I’m aware.”

Fetterman is a Trojan horse. They sent an undercover chud to parade around as woke. Bro looks about as woke as a snorlax

My flow chart represents exactly those people recieving my vote first and foremost if available. The Democrats are only viable in the absence of any decent choice.

Qrunk

Democrats have won multiple times since Carter and we’re still broke and rent is still insane. You’re preaching to the choir, but we didn’t operate concentration camps on American soil, or start two-three(who knows!?) wars.

Better, at the moment is all I can get. One italian kid having the balls to shoot a ceo isn’t enough for these sheep to actually do what’s necessary to fix the disunited states.

My voting flow chart is socialists, then democrats, then nobody.

Imo, we can fight over what shade of blue after the pedos are out of office.
