Democrat teams up with movie industry to propose website-blocking law (arstechnica.com)

Lofgren's bill would impose site-blocking requirements on broadband providers with at least 100,000 subscribers and providers of public domain name resolution services with annual revenue of over $100 million. The bill has exemptions for VPN services and "similar services that encrypt and route user traffic through intermediary servers"; DNS providers that offer service "exclusively through encrypted DNS protocols"; and operators of premises that provide Internet access, like coffee shops, bookstores, airlines, and universities.

Invest in VPN providers.

@some_guy is there such a thing as an open source dns and encrypted DNS? Or federated DNS?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I use a self hosted pihole for DNS. It needs an upstream DNS server for resolving unchached dns's. I have pihole point to quad9 then cloudflair then google then I have it point to a bunch of unfiltered DNS servers across the world.

Pihole also let's you install unbound. Your own recursive resolver. So you don't have to rely on google or quad9 etc.

They're absolutely is, it's called onion routing, get around DNS blocks with tor as long as you know where you're going.

Okay.... And that helps anyone how? Where's the other foot? I would like to help? I have a sledge hammer! C'mon don't be shy.

But, I got ideas! How about everyone who files for a patent has to give the Democratic party all their money or how autocorrect wants, all their monkey! That'll show them!

And how about everyone who goes to and graduates from college must serve a 30 year sentence? Fabulous!

Need a car license? Just smash your car on this steel wall! Yey! So easy! So much better than racists!

WTF! Put the thinking cap back on dudes!

When you forgot to educate your people well enough so you don't have to worry about what they see.
