Lofgren's bill would impose site-blocking requirements on broadband providers with at least 100,000 subscribers and providers of public domain name resolution services with annual revenue of over $100 million. The bill has exemptions for VPN services and "similar services that encrypt and route user traffic through intermediary servers"; DNS providers that offer service "exclusively through encrypted DNS protocols"; and operators of premises that provide Internet access, like coffee shops, bookstores, airlines, and universities.

Invest in VPN providers.

This somehow reads with the same energy as those "please don't download scientific papers for free from , that would be so terrible" posts.

After the US does this, Europe will be soon to follow guaranteed, then everyone will be trying to pipe through the same VPN exit server in Barbados

99942 Apophis is scheduled to come visit for a near pass on Friday, April 13, 2029. It briefly held the highest rating of any object ever on the Torino scale when it was discovered 20 years ago. Another asteroid detected just last week is currently a Torino 3 but also won't be here for 7 years and only has a 1.4% chance of striking Earth based on current observations.

@some_guy is there such a thing as an open source dns and encrypted DNS? Or federated DNS?

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I use a self hosted pihole for DNS. It needs an upstream DNS server for resolving unchached dns's. I have pihole point to quad9 then cloudflair then google then I have it point to a bunch of unfiltered DNS servers across the world.

[–] justlemmyin@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Pihole also let's you install unbound. Your own recursive resolver. So you don't have to rely on google or quad9 etc.

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 2 points 16 hours ago

Cool I might do that. I assume I can find a docker compose somewhere.

It sort if have to be. In the end there has to be one source of truth for each TLD, otherwise who is to say who owns foo.com, and what it resolves to?

And then the same structure for assigning TLD ownership.

But there is nothing stopping you from running another DNS service, call it DNS2 with different root servers, etc. It is just going to be extemely hard to convince people to use it.

They're absolutely is, it's called onion routing, get around DNS blocks with tor as long as you know where you're going.
