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
OR - you could just simply not use Google DNS (or any ISP that is participating in the fuckery). Just use one of these Public DNS servers:
