[tyrant@lemmy.world]

Article 1) Streaming prices going up
Article 2) websites being blocked

Democrats: "Please for the love of God, don't vote for us ever again! We really, really don't want to win."

invest in VPN providers

I'm guessing lofgren has already done that

[rumba@lemmy.zip]

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

[brkdncr@lemmy.world]

This is some dumb shit.

[thepowerofgeek@lemmy.world]

The country is being burned to the ground from the inside by fascists, and this is the hill Democrat politicians choose to die on?!! Holy shit! What a fucking joke!

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.

[tanoh@lemmy.world]

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.

We already have site blocking in France.

77 year old who has been in the house since the 90s. Actually a prime example of why we need term limits and real competition in elections (if not from GOP, at least in primaries). Irony is she reps a district that isn't really associated with streaming or producing movies.

My guess? She won her primary because she was the incombent or was unopposed, but she probably receives cash from the film industry. Almost all house seats are uncompetitive unless someone drops out or gets redistricted. Until something changes, this is and will be the way our government continues to work.

If they are not blocking the access to the WHO.is servers you can get the IP address of the site and add it to your local hosts file.

[squiffsquiff@lemmy.world]

I'm missing the part where consumers are required to use their ISP DNS. I never do, in favour of CloudFlare DNS, Google DNS, etc

[justlemmyin@lemmy.world]

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]

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

[kreskin@lemmy.world]

Even out of power they still find a way to give hand jobs for industry donations and casually screw the public. I admire their energy.

[kreskin@lemmy.world]

Ginat meteor is what we need.

[airportline@lemmy.ml]

Trump is president and this is their priority?

[whatamlemmy@lemmy.world]

Corporate dictatorship masquerading as "democracy"

[mpony@lemmy.world]

Wait until they start "the VPN wars". it's invariable at this point. Only the VPN that has bribed The Emperor the most will survive.

[bronzebeard@lemm.ee]

Democrats once again losing on purpose.
