  • DNS (Domain Name System) is a simple service that resolves a domain name (example.com) to its host (where the files are, e.g. 1.1.1.1). That’s just it, nothing more.

    By default you use a DNS service by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). But you can choose from many free DNS services from around the world or even self host a DNS server.

    CDN (Content Delivery Network) is a service which caches files for the website. Videos, images, files, etc. It can also hide the actual address of the domain by proxying data.

    The French court asked google to stop resolving domains for users using google DNS, so it cannot connect to it’s host.

    Google is arguing CDN services who know the actual address of these websites and redistribute files for these pirate sites should be better targets for the court than a DNS service.

    I guess they’re saying DNS blocks can easily bypassed by the users and the pirates can buy a new domain making it ineffective.

    My general observation:

    Yankistanis on their capitalists raining in on societal failures causing division:

    Chinese 50 cent army, Russian Bot farms, Tankies. Russian Trolls. We see you, comrade. They’re trying to divide us. Reeeeee

    Yankistanis when a recorded history of CIA interference, coup, embargo, wars, propaganda where most yankistanis shrieks at the mention of the words and country trying a different economic system:

    It’s not the CIA. Trust me bro!

    How can you be certain either way?




  • Hawkernews being unhinged capitalists as always:

    aeternum: 18h

    Sad.

    And perhaps a controversial take but consider the counterfactual: Should it be illegal to fire employees that recent took mental health leave? Get a bad review or put on a PIP? It’s already becoming a common strategy to immediately take mental health/sick leave.

    0xbadc0de5: 3h

    This is sad and tragic but ultimately I don’t think Mongo bares any responsibility here. If her partner left her while she was having a prolonged mental health crisis, would her partner be to blame for her suicide? I would argue: no.

    You’re just an expendable cog to the money machine to techbros.
