Since I needed it to be my primary DNS, I also added: recursive resolution from root nameservers, DNSSEC chain-of-trust validation, ad blocking (385K+ domains), and LAN service discovery. I wrote about the DNSSEC implementation here: https://numa.rs/blog/posts/dnssec-from-scratch.html https://numa.rs/blog/posts/dnssec-from-scratch.html It's now my daily system DNS. Single binary (~8MB), macOS/Linux/Windows. `sudo numa install`

    I think it's a bot? There's an identical version of this comment in another reply, except it cuts off half way through a sentence.

      I hit reply on the wrong post and you can't delete comments or at least I don't see how it can be done

        That only lasts for a few minutes until it’s locked and you can no longer delete after that.

        It lasts 2 full hours, at least for edit. Delete stops working when someone replies afaik.

    because I clicked reply on the wrong one and you can't delete it...

    Of course I can’t prove it, but i am guessing some kind of “AI” is doing that. Humans rarely use emdashes.

        Please don't break the site guidelines, regardless of how wrong someone is or you feel they are. You're right about em dashes of course (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47154752 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47154752) but being right on a point does not make it ok to attack another user or violate the rules of the site. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Very interesting project! I have a couple of questions. With all the default blocked domains loaded, what is the average memory usage? Currently, I am using Pi-hole on a low memory single board computer. Is it possible to use this instead of Pi-hole? If so, I’d like to use it for all of my devices."

  With 390K blocked domains: ~31MB total process footprint. Breakdown: - Blocklist: 23.4MB (390K domains) - Cache: 3.8MB (4.4K entries) - Query log, SRTT, runtime: ~4MB It binds to 0.0.0.0:53 by default, so just point your devices' DNS to the board's IP
