Did not know DNS is a company. I would probably put Akamai there or Fastly.
Let it fall. People will then finally understand that this solution is not good. Decentraltion is the original design of the Internet.
Check out Autonomi: fully decentralised internet
The internet was originally decentralized, but there is a reason why we changed to centralized.
Because the ability to fend off DDoS attacks, being able to use easy to remember words instead of numbers, and all the other centralized things makes everything easier and more robust.
You can still setup your decentralized internet, maybe throw in some blockchain, but nobody will want to use it because of all the disadvantages.
Ok but wtf is actually going on in this picture
It was the Yun Men Tsui Ti building in Taiwan, taken after the earthquake.
Yeah is this real?
Man, I sure hope DNS doesn’t go bust
It won’t. But you might miss some pages.
DNS isn’t going away. But don’t depend on someone else’s server. Run your own! Its also a great opportunity to block ads/malware/tracking. Here’s some resources to get you started:
Luckily DNS is somewhat decentralized.
Yeah, I don’t get the point of including a protocol together with 3 big corpos. Use a recursive resolver (with caching) instead of a forwarding one, and it’s fully decentralised at the TLD level. If the root nameservers or .com’s stop responding, either your uplink is down or the internet as we know it has ended
“You will know society has collapsed when you can no longer reach the root nameservers.”
It’s still always DNS for some reason
“It can’t be DNS!”
“… It was DNS.”
It’s a haiku:
It’s not DNS
There’s no WAY it’s DNS
…it was DNS.
Maybe it’s Maybelline.

Has see always been this…squishy?
for some reason
You mean things tend to fail at the highly redundant eventually consistent format-agnostic global distributed database and not on the stateless data transformers?
Who could have guessed?
Me waiting for the remaining 60% of vulnerable records to enable DNSSEC
…would these beans actually do much of anything to hold up this legobrick building?
Edit: I’m not fixing it
beans

I’m also wondering what’s the story behind this pic. I don’t think I’d want to park my car there or be standing there, hard hat or not.
And it seems like that structure would be damaged beyond the point where you could right it again by pulling it back up.
Earthquake-damaged building. It was called the Yun Men Tsui Ti building.
The goal is to slow the fall down so people can demolish it safely.
Change what it looks fine to me
Thank fuck nobody uses Google

one of those is not like the others
I wonder if it’s because these services are trying to integrate AI.
It’s a good thing those guys are wearing hard hats.
That’s a shitty analogy, at least for yesterday’s outage. The sites behind cloudflare were working, they were just inaccessible because of cloudflare’s fuck up.
inaccessible because of cloudflare’s fuck up
is that not what the meme is describing?
No, they dont hold it up, they are the wracking ball
Pretty sure that’s the AI
Google image search yun men tsui ti building. It was destroyed in the 2018 earthquake.
Oh God, the Internet fails in big chunks instead piece by piece on random days, the fucking horror.
Despite them being bastards, the Internet is more stable than ever because of them.
Do you even know how to calculate error budgets?
