@anarchiv One does not simply...
- I'm a Correctness Dragon and this is my Hoare of triples.
On the current timeline, every day is Petrov Day.
@Hyolobrika @roboneko Virgin DNS:
Requires shittons of tiered hardware and links to withstand hordes of users asking for the same set of names shoveled into a few root zones.
Has a central authority to govern the zones and appoint regional registrars.
Names are a scarce resource and most of the sane ones are squatted.
Requires parallel PKI infra to prevent hijacking and stuff.
Occasionally you lose your name and/or certificate to scammers and/or governments.
Chad GNS:
The more users there are, the more traffic it can handle.
The network itself is your "secondary".
Everyone can share their zone for free.
Content is authenticated and can be anonymised.
Isn't actually required for the rest of the ecosystem to function, but you can share your KVs with friends anyway.
@roboneko @cy@mstdn.io @Hyolobrika@mstdn.io The blockchain solves Zooko's exactly the same way NFTs solve ownership.
@Hyolobrika @roboneko The thing is, domain names are merely a convention we take for granted. And service providers take for granted that we do.
We could have been putting PKEYs in URLs. Well, that's what TOR "hidden" sites do anyway, without any ICANN, ICAN'T or IFORCEU whatsoever.
Also, consider magnet links, ipfs links, git hashes, etc etc

The only humans who think "no" means "I'll ask again as soon as I feel like it and as often as I want" are toddlers, creeps and, apparently, some software shops.
@roboneko @cy@mstdn.io @Hyolobrika@mstdn.io Anonymity is on demand in the services. You can specify amount of hops or traffic to mix with. You don't need distinct TOR and plain TCP protocols, it's just a connection option.
@roboneko @cy@mstdn.io @Hyolobrika@mstdn.io Discovery is pretty long right now, tbh. They need way more participating nodes. But with a CADET circuit established, onion or not, you can have it interactive. I doubt it would work for twitch shooters, but something more reasonable can be fine.
Streaming DHT propagation can be quick too, after some warm-up.
@cy@mstdn.io No, ffs. DNS is irrelevant in gnunet. The whole bag of web crap can be left behind. That's the point.
@xenmen Too bad computers making decisions will eat competitors for lunch. (And then, the rest of the world.)
@cy@mstdn.io @roboneko @Hyolobrika@mstdn.io DNS is just a common protocol for apps to resolve keys into values, with features like delegation and TTL. Same with GNS. You can have a bunch of TOR addresses pinned by your own private key, accessible from anywhere on the network. Or files. Or app-specific data.
ReclaimID is the inverse of "Login with Facebook". It is "you can ask me if I still want to share stuff with you".
So, those aren't just some configuration pieces exposed to as JSON. But you'll have to read up some nice materials to make sense of the data.
@cy@mstdn.io @roboneko @Hyolobrika@mstdn.io huh, what?..
@cy@mstdn.io @roboneko @Hyolobrika@mstdn.io DoH is DNS-over-HTTP, a tech to stop providers and pretty much everyone else to snoop on you and poison your query results.
re:claimID is like reverese OpenID. You publish the attributes and the servers are requesting them to authenticate you.
@Hyolobrika@mstdn.io The web
links are name-centric, pointing to whatever the content is currently provided by whatever the authority managed to receive your request. Ephemeral and basically worthless. "Good URLs don't break", hear, hear. PKI is FUBAR, servers can 4xx and 5xx at you at any time or go black entirely. It's a little miracle we can serve stuff on localhost, and a divine intervention that the big web works at all, at least sometimes.
@Hyolobrika@mstdn.io And discovery is broken even more. It is unnecessary hard to find shit without sucking some corporate cock.
@Hyolobrika@mstdn.io Anyway, it doesn't matter. It wasn't naming that's broken, it is the linking model that gone wrong. DNS given the promise it couldn't fulfill without forcing everyone to succumb to the network effects.
@Hyolobrika@mstdn.io How would the real solution look like?
