There’s nothing to scale. DNS servers are just an address book. There’s only 200 million entries active and visited. 1.1b entries otherwise, which; for a computer isn’t a lot.

DNS servers replicate down-stream, and the root servers maintain authority. A local SQLite file could handle this easily, and you could always run your own DNS server locally if you wanted to. But there has to be a central authority. That’s why you can have any TLD you want – you run your own DNS. But since nobody sees you as an authority, they won’t be using your DNS.

How is the internet supposed to work if we don’t agree on where every site goes? How are you supposed to decentralize a central agreement?

You can use whatever top level domain you want, you just have to convince everyone in the world to use your Root servers instead of ICANN, which ain’t gonna happen. Tor has the .onion TLD, etc. There are no restrictions here. They’re more like…agreements.

This shit is absolutely atrocious and shows how far we’ve fallen.

Microsoft almost got broken up as a company over simply BUNDLING a browser. Now they’re actively hijacking other installs to put big warnings up and redirecting to theirs. It’s absolutely bonkers this is allowed.

It’s a play on the joke “There are 3 genders, male, female, and political”

Religion, Politics, Political Genders, and…maybe Football. The real football.

I’ve always screwed them both in very lightly

Because grave robbing is financially motivated for the sake of the individual robbing the grave. They are out to enrich themselves, not others.

Museums obviously do have some financial incentive, but they aren’t just turning around and selling these relics to the highest bidder. They trade with other museums, they share artifacts, for the enrichment of humankind, rather than their own personal enrichment.

Oh nah, they don’t directly defend this - They claim to be worried about the genocide of palestinians and you should totally vote third party instead to show Kamala who’s boss!

Oh man, that would have been fun to compete in.

I collect these into a database I run locally out of a bad habit I had as a teenager. Back in the AOL days you could ‘Email-bomb’ someone, and rightfully it sounds exactly like it is – you’d just send them tons and tons and tons of email.

Well, turns out - that’s pretty easy to detect and block. So I came up with a better way, a more permanent way; and probably the reason so many people see their email address as a private/privacy thing now – You simply submit their email address to every known spam address in existence.

Now, you’ve got an infinite amount of spam being thrown their way, 24/7, at super high volumes, for essentially - what is the entire lifetime of that account. I haven’t done it in the past 20 years or so, and I don’t have any of my old ‘progz’ for it, but I figure one day when I need it again, it will be invaluable.

Not for being Russian. For being IN Russia. Jackass.

If an African immigrant were there, he’d be banned too – If a chinese guy were there, he’d be banned too - it has nothing to do with race and everything to do with nation and location.

I linked the mans github, which SAYS he’s in Russia, and mods deleted it.

Charger port not working without jamming the charger in just sounds like pocket-lint to me. Has happened once every year or two with almost every phone I’ve ever owned. Grab a really thin needle, turn the phone off, unplug the battery, and GENTLY scrape the border of the USB-C port out. It’ll probably fix the charging port issue. Always has for me.

Then why are you here using it as an argument? Doesn’t that seem pretty pointless? Because to me you just look like you’re trying to stir the pot.

It’s weird how you somehow managed to single that one thing out, even though my comments already included it. That’s so silly. It’s almost like you have some sort of agenda or something…

Pretty sure what I said was CRYSTAL clear.

Which is great that we’re not talking about groups of people, but national lines on a map, cool how that works right?

They are under the jurisdiction of the Russian government, that makes them Russian. No matter if they’re from China, Africa, or Tim-buk-tu for all anyone fucking cares. Countries – are – not – people.

Racism requires you targetting – get this – a group of people based on their shared identity. None of these people have to have whatever identity you’re assuming they have, because they simply have to be…TADA – IN RUSSIA.

If I hopped over the border into Russia, I’d agree with not being able to access this stuff – Oh now, I’m being racist against myself! But hey, can’t logic someone out of a position that they didn’t logic themselves into in the first place.

Bet you I would.

Russia gets sanctioned. That means all its inhabitants as well. Too bad, so sad.

Wow, good job mods! I linked the proof that he was in Russia and you guys delete it, niiiiiice.
