Oddbean new post about login | logout Why?
I would like to know why too
State controlled stack. You can be censored and/or redirected to different sites by governments and some large corps.
Ok I get ya now but how unless we use web3 domains get away from DNS
Use nostr pub keys with signed payloads by the owner. No government can fake that.
True ok but only nostr has that
Everything will be in nostr in the future.
I hope so but right now as it stands don't think so
Nostr is a public network. Any software can access it. It's not difficult for a web browser replace ICANN DNS by Nostr DNS.
Agreed but like I said as it stands so fare right now and if we don't find for change ICANN DNS will still rain supreme
Brave browser already implements decentralized DNS service providers, e.g. if you type hashoshi.crypto it uses a decentralized DNS system.
Yes it does but it not 100% yet it does not always work
How do you find your server then? Nostr seems to require websockets which requires DNS. My client won't connect to my server over IP only.
I'm connected to several Onion relays. They don't need/use DNS at all, just Tor, which also doesn't need DNS.
How? Explain.
If I want to go to your website, I type your pubkey, your pubkey contains an event with the IP of your server, then I ping that server to see it. Every site should have a pubkey pointing to an IP.
The problem imo is for normies outside of nostr, npub is really easy to say. What I think we could do is take fiatjafs thing of petnames, so stuff. Com could be a site for me and other for you and maybe we could even reach a consensus someway, like Pablo says, embrace the chaos. Or maybe you could choose your dns list provider, that would assign the things for you, and I could say stuff. Com according to provider Z.
Is that something workable and already implemented?
How to point ?
I need time, energy (body and brain) to learn more and understand this stuff. Or an app that makes it easy :)
DM me and ask questions I'm happy to help where I can
The state can control you by breaking trough the door in your house and pointing a gun at you. At least, democratic states aren't *supposed* to. But companies don't have constitutions and do whatever maximizes their profit, it's their job. And, unlike with governments, we don't have to give them the power we give them. I think it's wiser to focus on corporate censorship than government censorship.
