DNS isn’t a service (in the same way as AWS and CloudFlare). It’s a fundamental component of the world wide web.
I mean, unless you’d rather type IP addresses in to your URLs, anyways.
Blaming DNS is sort of like blaming phone numbers for calls failing to route. The reason it fails so often is because it’s almost exclusively a human-made lookup table.
I’m divesting myself of all three!
Anyone know any open source alternatives to DNS???
I hear homing pigeons are pretty good at location lookup. Maybe that old IP-over-pigeon RFC is worth a second look?
It’s IP over avian carrier Please try to keep up with the RFCs /s
The economy hit hard and most my homing pigeons are now homeless
Don’t forget sneakernet! Bandwidth is only limited by how much storage you can carry and if you want lower latency just drive faster
Look at this noob! They don’t even have all the IP addresses memorized!
Maybe OP should go learn a thing or 2 on how it actually works.
no🙂↔️
If they were the learnin’ type, they wouldn’t be here
It’s not dns…
We’ll have a quadfecta next week when an incorrect BGP statement causes all internet traffic to route through a mom & pop ISP in a rural part of central Asia.
In case someone misinterpreted the meme: these are all single points of failure that can take down large parts of the internet.
If a rouge state manages to take down any of these for a more then trivial amount of time, we would suffer enormous amount of financial damage
Azure is also in there
