The problem the US has is it's unwavering belief that state = bad, not state = good This tends to allow corporations to do all the bad things that states can do, with no checks or balances. Other countries have a far larger mistrust of

Depends on how you configure it. In resolv.conf systems for example you can set a timeout of say 1 second and do it as main/reserve, or set it up to round-robin. From memory it's something like "options:rotate" If you ha

I guess it depends on where you are and what you count as an outage. Is a single failed query an outage? For me cloudflare 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 have a mean response time of 15.5ms over the last 3 months, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are 15.0ms, and 9

Far quicker to type ping 1.1 than ping 1.1.1.1 1.0.0.0/24 is a different network than 1.1.1.0/24 too, so can be hosted elsewhere. Indeed right now 1.1.1.1 from my laptop goes via 141.101.71.63 and 1.0.0.1 via 141.101.71.121, which
