What do you mean? I tried looking up what a mechanical lock is, it's not clear to me. Would it be bad for a locksmith to sell one to you?

How would this even work? Don't the root servers just help you find TLDs? To take down example.com, they'd have to take down .com, right?

Anyone know if the book covers ESNI? Or if there's a good resource on how to set that up with Nginx, CloudFlare DNS, and Let's Encrypt? EDIT: Okay, it looks like this is not yet ready for most people to use.
