I went down an #OpenNIC custom #DNS root rabbit hole today and I can't believe it's just a bigger web with no downsides.

You get not only what the classic web has to offer but more. The official fear mongering against it is motivated by nothing but authoritarian ideology, because their argument about net unity is ridiculous when you can't access Facebook, x, Instagram etc without an account. OpenNIC is easier to access than Facebook. Just set a DNS server to one from the list.

As a bonus, you get to feel like a part of a leet haxor club, it's all small web

And it's made by #furries

There's literally no downsides to it? How's that not AMAZING

so... I've been trying to configure #technitium to use #opennic domains the last few days.
Is any of that even still working? I can't get any response from the few pages I have domain names for.

(that is grep.geek and search.libre, be.libre worked yesterday but now it doesn't)

#dns

Et si on créait nos propres extensions de domaine web...

Après avoir passé des heures à blinder mon serveur #dns je me suis posé une question en regardant le projet #opennic : pourquoi dépendre d'extensions comme .com, .fr, .org, .net... qui ne nous ressemblent pas ?

Le #fediverse est décentralisé, alors pourquoi notre adressage ne le serait-il pas ? J'ai eu une idée (je ne dois pas être le seul) : et si on créait des extensions DNS 'sémantiques' basées sur nos services ? Imaginez une adresse qui ne serait plus un sous-domaine perdu, mais une véritable identité.

Le concept ? Des extensions comme .immich, .matrix, .mastodon, ou n'importe quoi d'autre...
✅ Souveraineté : On ne dépend plus de l'ICANN ou des tarifs des registrars.
✅ Clarté : identité.peertube au lieu de d'une URL à rallonge.
✅ Privacy : Vos requêtes ne passent plus par les géants du Web.

C'est mon projet 'Tier 1 Personnel' que je souhaite ouvrir à ceux que ça tente.

Seriez-vous prêts à changer vos DNS pour accéder à un Internet plus intuitif et indépendant ?

Does anyone actually use OpenNIC?

I selfhost my DNS with unbound, apparently it's simple to use OpenNIC's root server hints but then you remove ICANN ones.

I know OpenNIC's root servers also respond for ICANN domains, but what I was wondering is: can I use ICANN ones for ICANN domains and only use OpenNIC ones when ICANN root servers don't know about a TLD?

#OpenNIC

Between February and August, the #Eleven11 was on the news. Using the parallel #DNS root #OpenNIC was nothing new for a botnet. Yet, this botnet was the first known botnet of it's size using the OpenNIC system.

We summarized insights in a new blog post: 161 Days of Eleven11

None of it matters if you are utizing #onionsites that don't draw from other parts of the net (like an onion proxy), but be sure to change your trr / uri in your browser to #cloudflare for #https sites with #oniux (network.trr.mode 5 means the network chooses the resolver). Cloudflare has the tor dns monopoly, apparently. Why not something even more #decentralized like #openNIC in the future. Not developed enough now.

#Arti has two versions now
[arti-23c1c907a8c1ccef

and has not updated documentation for binding local:9150 to socks. No systemd for #Debian yet either. Of course, that doesn't matter with oniux, although it is a mystery what they mean by "leaks" with a socks binding. I suppose a namespace will leak, then. Sure. Timelords, perhaps? Crazy. @micahflee
