Evening team,
I wanted to run by and list two important things I did recently, and they seem important enough to share.
Q Post Downloads ------------------------------------------------------------
First off, I donwloaded all the Q posts and all the images. This is because I don't think Q will post at all/for a long while, so made sense to download.
Qagg.news has easy instructions to download all the Qposts on this page here. It'll end up around 1.5gb all said and done. https://qagg.news/download.php
DNS Workaround --------------------------------------------------------------
On Qagg I noticed a page in the menu discussing black outs. Curiously enough the author states that during the youtube/google outages of Nov 2020 he was fine and theorizd it was becasuse he was running his own DNS. Person details how to setup DNS to avoid this potential issue if it arises: https://qagg.news/darkness.php
Anywhoo, he postulates that perhaps DNS will go down. As a reminder, bck in 2016 Obama gave away our DNS rights to ICANN https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-37527719
if you are not linux savvy, you can use httrack to mirror a site, it won't build and copy a DB, but it can pull down pretty much everything else. You can build your own DNS server with a raspberry pi.
DNS simply put is what helps humans use the web easier. Most people are not going to remember an IP address much less an IPv6 address, which are what routers use(routers in simple terms, find the best path to your end to end network connection, there is more but not going to get technical here). The DNS server maps domain names such as greatawakening.win to it's corresponding IP address of 172.64.132.32 and an IPv6 of 2606:4700:e2::ac40:8420, have fun remembering the last one. Additionally MANY domains can be mapped to a single address.
There are lots and lots of DNS servers worldwide, intranet, internet, your ISP provider will have at least 3-4. So as I said earlier, if you know the IP of what you want, you can generally find the site you want. Hint, the dark web doesn't use domain names normally.....
Honestly, I have sincere doubts about DNS going down worldwide, that would be an extraordinary feat, knocking out a fiber backbone is another story completely. The article is kind of off base about DNS.
