Someone described to me in detail how your computer resolves hostnames.

Probably because of your DNS configuration?

Amen. 💯%

Thanks for the great explanation

Huh. I guess I didn’t fully understand how DNS works.

My understanding was that DNS servers propagated their listing to other DNS servers and you just had to point your computer to the one you want and it would just query that one. And if a URL can’t be found, then it’s probably because

A) it doesn’t exist

B) it exists but hasn’t been fully propagated yet

C) the DNS server listing is outdated

Not in God loving Texas it ain’t. They’re doing God’s work.

No I deleted my Reddit account for a reason. I just go sneak sometimes to see what’s happening in my old community. Sometimes steal some posts and put them up here.

LoL no kidding.

His wife actually owns several investment properties as does he.

oui oui

Oh I didn’t even notice! Nice! You too! 😁

Nice. Thanks.

Nobody becomes filthy rich by being honest. You can only become this rich by exploiting people and having absolutely no fucking empathy whatsoever.

I don’t know. My native tongue is French. Sycophants in French means spy or inside informer. But we rarely, if ever, use that word.

In English it has another meaning. I had to look it up.

I can see why.

Oh yeah. Fuck that guy.

Who here had to go look the meaning of that word? Raise your hand. ✋

Honestly it’s difficult to say. But it would probably be some kind of cybersecurity and privacy advocacy website that call out companies and how, not only they exploit our private information for profit, but also how that information can be used against you at any point in your life, especially if a government implements a law that infringes on personal rights and freedoms and suddenly your find yourself guilty of something. These companies will gladly hand over that information to the law forces and then you’re fucked.
