You think it's bad now, but just wait until china finally decides to invade taiwan, then it's gonna be the end of computing for real.

I wonder how well that would work in practice. Maybe it'd work fine. Or maybe the legs are too long to run, but not straight enough to keep standing for long in either position.

Now someone else gets the former car, commits a crime, and they can prove you rented that car.

If you make it easy to depend on stuff like github, people will do it. What can be done, will be done. And what the system incentivizes will happen.

There will never be 2 hashs that collide, it's just too unlikely to happen – until it happens, at the worst time possible.

If you want a domain gone, the ones in control of the zones are responsible. "." can remove all of zone "c.", "c." can remove all of zone "b.c.". And those zones may all have different people responsible for them.

Resolvers aren't meant to know or block anything. All they do is look things up and cache them for a few minutes.
That's why suing a resolver is so absurd. They aren't the ones publishing the domains.
Domain providers and registrars are. /3

Anyone could run his own resolver locally. If you ask a public resolver like the one from google, it'll look things up as previously described, or if it has recently done so, it'll return the cached result.

What you need to know is, dns is hirarchical. With a domain "a.b.c." , first "." (the root servers) are asked for "a.b.c." That may say, zone "c." is handled by servers "y." and "z." Those may know "a.b.c.", or delegate zone "b.c." to another server again and so on.
That's what a resolver does. /1

I think you can reset the fuses using a high voltage programmer, but if your aim is to read rather than write to it, this probably won't be an option.

"Cat ears only" is the correct choice aesthetically, although annatomically probably unfeasable.
More importantly, though, don't forget the tail. There is no question where to place those. And make them big and fluffy.

I recommend unicast dns-sd records. Especially for printers, those will break avahi because it can't handle such long DNS records. And don't forget to put spaces in the name of the TXT records, that is actually a normal and intended thing.
To test it, use iOS or Mac, only those actually work.
