  • ICANN can (theoretically) not force anyone to deregister your domain. If your stack is all outside the US, and everyone collectively decided to disobey the US, the Internet’s decentralization would be true.

    The hard part about building a decentralized network is finding out where to hide the centralization.

    For the Internet, the centralization is hidden in the IP block and DNS Zone delegation. After this is done, that region is decentralized. A/I’s problem was that the registry for .org is a subsidiary of IANA. With EU servers, EU DNS and a EU domain, EU clients cannot be prevented from connecting solely from the outside. The US would need a collaborator.








  • The land of the Antichrist will fall dark … I’m seeing an increasing number of parallels to Revelation 16 in recent times. It’s quite interesting, especially considering the history of that text: Threatening the Romans and Nero (the original and literal Anti-Christ). History doesn’t repeat, it rhymes.


  • Really, it’s a question that’s too sad for me to answer: I don’t know. I’d probably panic, like anyone would. Also, it depends whether there is anything after the apocalypse. If the world is ending and explodes, I am not in a position to preserve things anymore. (I probably wouldn’t be if it didn’t, either.) If it’s just a setback in civilization, and I have a chance of survival, maybe a few of my favorite media on various types of storage. Ideally, maybe hints to check Svalbard once civilization has been rebuilt. (The World Seed Archive and Arctic Code Vault are there.) But, if we want to joke about it: I’ll check if anyone’s live from Harmageddon.
