Not sure if anyone is rocking it. But if anything it'll be a good alt for my 'oldskool' subdomain since OpenNIC doesn't have root certificate chains to complete SSL correctly. You can self-sign and that's it.

http://www.s-config.geek - Tried for 'indy' but had a lot of DNS resolution issues.

@S-Config is this supposed to not resolve for me?
Nothin from Quad9, CF DNS, and Google's DNS.

@colinstu Accessing these domains requires a DNS change https://opennic.org/ talks about it. I should probably go into a lot more detail about OpenNIC.. especially why I think the project has stalled as a whole. Because although getting a domain is easy, requires no ID check.. you're limited to just their DNS servers.

@colinstu Current in its current state the only use I see for this project is for retro computing. Where perhaps DHCP is not a thing on certain 8-bit computer network adapters. you can plugin the DNS of OpenNIC and test website connectivity without having to spend a dime on ICANN

@S-Config oh, nice! A fellow OpenNIC domain owner. neocat_floof_happy

Although for some reason the domain doesn't work on the server i'm at.

@getimiskon Hmm... I did make it about 2 hours ago.. Not sure if DNS replication time takes longer. i'm using ns2.mo.us and ns2.ny.us and pinged right away on my Ubuntu and windows boxes.

@S-Config i see... as far as i know, it takes some time for your website to be available on other opennic nameservers (i have been using opennic for quite some time, so you can probably see mine on most servers)

@S-Config ah there ya go.
What's the expected workflow here usually?

Use exclusively opennic DNS for a browser or OS (or DNS server providing DNS to client)? Unbound isn't gonna be happy about misc extra DNS entries added, especially w/SSL/TLS enabled for my existing entries. Not supposed to mix all that.

I could manually add this resolved IP to hosts but that doesn't help me if the IP changes, I'd have to find out manually later it's down/changed and update later.

@colinstu The workflow is supposed to be two-fold. 1. direct to a DNS server away from your ISP or Google to 'supposedly' a private DNS server (so they claim! Again my cynicism is showing). 2. OpenNIC wants people to become their ICANN where you can set up a top-level domain and people register to it. OR a simpler solution (which I went for) is to get a domain on one of the existing top level services.

It's not much to look at.. but it functions better than crypto domains. If I had zero dollars and wanted to stage a website i'd probably use OpenNIC to test it.

@getimiskon All right, so hold off on writing the article until it takes the nameservers a while to replicate like it's 1990 internet. got it!

@S-Config oh, i just realized my wireless connections at home (i have separated 2.4 and 5 GHz bands) have a different DNS configuration and your website works fine on the DNS server i use for my 5 GHz one.
Whoops! neocat_googly_woozy

@S-Config some servers are probably slower to update than others

@S-Config sounds like it’s still ripe for possible sketchy activity? Why are they any more trustworthy than ICANN? And the barrier to entry of a few bucks a year isn’t even there.

Also LOL no way am I using ISP DNS (or google. Or even cloudflare). Quad9 seems like maybe the most “trustworthy” of them all so far.

@colinstu oh your not wrong on the sketch!! It's a lesson that is repeatable even on the clearnet with .tk offering free domains.. or Tor. Or I2P . Anything free will be fucked with. When you start thinking a program or protocol can solve a societal issue you end up sounding as insane as the cryptobros.

It's an experiment from my POV . Took nothing to deploy. So to me the worst that will happen is no hits. ;D

About this instance

This is an instance based on Akkoma. It's one of the services that comprises the "Fediverse", a network of federated services like Mastodon, Misskey and others. For more information about the Fediverse, you can check out fediverse.party.

The instance is being run by getimiskon and it's a part of their services.

In order to keep the instance sustainable for as long as possible as well as to make easier to deal with moderation, we don't have open registrations. But feel free to ask for an invite.

Important: Some blocklists for ad blocking add-ons may cause issues, like hiding the "Follow" button. It's understandable that you may not want to disable your ad blocker, but make sure to configure it for this instance. This instance does not rely on ads and it will never be.


Rules

The following rules apply on this instance:

  • Don't spam

  • Don't harass anyone inside and outside this instance

  • Don't dox any user (sharing personal information without their consent)

  • Tag NSFW (not safe for work) content accordingly

  • Don't upload any material that includes minors (SFW or not)

  • Avoid posting anything illegal, specifically illegal in Germany, as the server is being hosted there

  • Sexism, racism, fascism and nazism are not welcome here

  • Boosted content is being treated like posts. Don't boost content that breaks this instance's rules

Non-compliance with these rules may result to the termination of your account


Federation Policy

We generally don't want to block instances. Because of the decentralized nature of the Fediverse, there might be content from other instances that don't comply with our rules and might be displayed at the "Known Network" tab. We may remove instances that host those posts from that tab. You will still be able to communicate with people from these instances if you want to.

We may block some instances for the following reasons:

  • Promote fascism, nazism, racism etc.
  • Host NSFW content including minors
  • Instances that are run by corporations who don't support Free Software
  • Instances that cause problems to our users

We also don't block instances for the following reasons:

  • Federation with instances we disagree with
  • Personal issues with the owners of other instances
  • Because a blocklist maintainer told us to do so

If there are any issues or mistakes that we should be aware of, feel free to contact the admin of this instance.


Support

While the server is free to use, unfortunately hosting it is not. In order to continue running it and our services, as well as improving them, support is needed by its users.

You can support the instance and all the services by donating at Liberapay. Keep in mind that donations at Liberapay are recurring, so if you plan to do a one-time donation, it may not be the best option for you.

For more information about supporting this instance, contact the admin.
