I am now offering Planck services for sale, at US$0.0001 per bit.

For an extra fee, you can even choose the value of the bit.

“Hey ChatGPT! Build a fully functional turnkey ecommerce website.”

That’s not what I was talking about.

Technitium does not (necessarily) use a third-party service, but sends all queries directly to the root nodes.

By default, any DNS server will look to the root servers for any query. The root servers only know what DNS servers are authoritative for top level domains (TLDs), and tell the client querying “Hey, go ask the “.com” (for example) server.”

That server knows what DNS servers are authoritative for the zones under .com, and says “Hey, go ask the “querieddomain” server.”

Then your machine asks that server for the “www” (for example) host, and that DNS server says “Here’s the IP.”

Unless the DNS server your machine is pointing at is configured to use a forwarder, wherein queries for any records that it isn’t authoritative for or aren’t in its local cache are resent to whatever DNS server is configured as the forwarder. The recursion like above is done between your DNS server and its forwarder, finally returning you an IP address when one is identified.

There’s a bit more to it than that, but that’s what I was talking about. Out of the box, a DNS server uses root hints, which are IP addresses of the root DNS servers. You would need to configure forwarder(s) in your DNS server if you desire them.

If that was the case, there would be a market for exactly 0 DNS servers.

I’m not sure what you mean by that, but it’s definitely the case.

For the record, any DNS server you choose to employ should default to only using the root servers. You would need to configure your own forwarder IP(s) to point to a general purpose resolver.

… censorship-free …

You should also be aware that even if you use root servers, a DNS server which is authoritative for the domain you are querying may well return different results depending on where in the world you are. This can be in order to direct you to an IP that is closer to you, or because “different global locations get different content” for any reason, including censorship and malicious goals. The latter is definitely less likely than the former, but it’s just as possible.

The Walgreens closest to me had those installed for maybe a month before they went back to glass doors. Fucking hated those things. Completely annoying when they’re working as expected.

Romania?

With a magnifying glass.

Oh wait. Not “incinerate an ant.” I got nothing then.

Enabler.

When users tried to bring attention to the censorship on Boox’s Reddit forum, their posts were removed.

Or when a brand new “Huynday” appears on your doorstep.

I would think that in that kind of “unstructured” gift donation that parents/guardians would be able to come in and pick appropriate gifts for their kids, along with some wrapping paper, then wrap and tag them themselves.

Not to the poor children.

We can’t even teach humans a coherent world model.

Didn’t other Tesla models have catastrophic exploding suspension problems? Glad to see they fixed that.

What share of the population do you think are immigrants?

Where does “I don’t care” register?

The solution must be a hammer, because I have one!

He wasn’t “just holding a gun in bushes.”

He was aiming the gun at a former president from the concealment of the bushes. Even without the confession letter, that’s plenty.

Wait … you’re a mod here?
