Did you know the entire internet works by hardcoding 13 IP addresses for the official root DNS servers sanctioned by the ICANN?

DNS is so fucked up. Relies entirely on trust.

@alex and you have to pay the authority cabal for the privilege of using your native language to connect to things instead of having to remember 38.99.102.33.

@eriner We can replace DNS with blockchain tech... but can we replace IPs?

@alex @eriner
i think replacing ips is hard, but there are enough things on top abstracting away the cabal of domains and ips. i2p is working pretty well, tor has onion domains, gnunet (unfortunately not that stable and usable) has a name service and other assorted services.
