I consider DNS and the way how top level domains are handled to be one of the weakest parts of our current Internet design.
We REALLY need a truly decentralized, distributed DNS system that is not owned by private entities.

- spenczar5 6y agoThe "decentralized internet" folks always talk a lot about fighting corporate control. I think they should spend more time talking about resiliency and blast-radius reduction.
- ghastmaster 6y agoI just recently ran across this. I wonder how much performance would be degraded. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7530014/authors#authors https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7530014/authors#authors > Unlike previous DNS replacement proposals, D 3 NS is reverse compatible with DNS and allows for incremental implementation within the current system.
- the8472 6y agoDNS is far less of a single point of failure and more decentralized than cloudflare. Nameservers can and are operated redundantly via simple, resolver-side round-robin scheduling and the TLD servers should have longer TTLs that allow plenty of caching. The rootzone even has anycast thanks to using UDP. Take a moment to look at DoH and laugh. You can also also register your domain on multiple TLDs.
- xen2xen1 6y agoDNS is decentralized, it's just not when everyone goes with one big service.
- remmargorp64 6y agoIt might be decentralized, but how do you actually get a .com domain name without going through some kind of corporate gatekeeping or paying a fee?
- q3k 6y agoDNS worked just fine throughout this. You're barking up the wrong tree.
