Besides the privacy implications, 99.9% means per definition that it does not work for 8.77 hours per year. This is way too much. It is my computer and it should just work how it is meant to be without any external dependencies.
- macintux 6y agoComputers haven’t worked well without external dependencies in a very long time. How long can you perform useful work without DNS?
- centimeter 6y ago> How long can you perform useful work without DNS? Is this a serious question? My entire dev toolchain works without internet...
- blowfish721 6y agoWithout DNS a lot of my workflows would stop workong since they include various machines/services which all communicate though hostnames/URLs rather than IP addresses, yet almost all are local to my network. So for me this is a valid question.
- arvindamirtaa 6y agoCould you switch DNS providers if one fails? Could you have a fallback? What's the parallel here?
- macintux 6y agoThe original statement I was objecting to was this: > It is my computer and it should just work how it is meant to be without any external dependencies. DNS is an external dependency, regardless of the level of redundancy.
- arvindamirtaa 6y agoYes. Verbatim that's what it says. But I think we can safely assume from context that the author meant external dependencies mandated by Apple.
- torstenvl 6y agoExtraordinary amounts of work are done without DNS. And even if it weren't, this is nothing like DNS because you can choose your own DNS servers and most people have a primary and a fallback. Where can I set trustd to use a different OCSP server? What is Apple's recommended secondary OCSP server?
- Shared404 6y agoThis is a more important point than those of us talking about working offline. A single point of failure, whether local or remote is an unfortunate design decision.
- FpUser 6y agoIs this even serious question? You really think I need DNS to edit my photos, videos, write some music, compile / build my products etc. etc ? And if needed for many things I can use my own DNS services. To post my freshly built product I do not need Apple's DNS. Can do with my own.
- Shared404 6y ago> How long can you perform useful work without DNS? Month's on end. Is this a serious question?
- zepto 6y agoThis is an extremely reasonable criticism. Quite unlike most of the critiques we saw on the original post.
