Comment on Why is DNS often joked about in the I.T. Industry?

Shadow@lemmy.ca ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

100% of the internet depends on it, and 90% of technical people can’t be bothered to learn how it works and understand it. Partly because they only touch it once every 5 years. They get what they need done but don’t understand why it worked, so it ends up feeling like black magic to them.

  If anyone you know claims to have expertise in the computer field and doesn’t know everything about DNS (there’s not much to know) then those people are clueless and by no means are they experts.

used to feel this way about dns until I setup my profile. I love how dns controls so much behind the scenes.

  DNS isn’t supposed to control that much PIhole is a hack, it would be more accurate to say PIhole controls so much behind the scenes. DNS is supposed to do exactly this domain.com->1.2.3.4 nothing more and nothing less anything else is a hack when cloud flair runs all your traffic traffic through a proxy that is them hacking the system domain.com->change-1.2.3.4

    Does Pi Hole do anything Ad Guard’s Public DNS servers can’t? adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html seems easier this way which is why I ask.

    what do you think is pointing adservers to a black hole and not being able to reach my home network?

    A hosts list that Unbound is augmenting within PiHole. The entire core function of PiHole is leveraging Unbound. Without it, it’s a useless GUI. In fact, you can completely ditch PiHole, if you know what you’re doing, and simply run Unbound as a daemon in a minimal container and do exactly what PiHole does with less resources.

Playing real fast and loose with the term “technical people.” If you mean just in general people familiar with and comfortable with tech, yeah that’s fine. If you mean those who work or hobby in the IT industry, well then they’re not very good at their jobs and probably should not have those jobs.
