Re: RE: DNS oddity

=> I wrote about a Brazillian host name resolving to 127.0.0.1

...and thought that was the end of that. But...

=> Cosmos found a reply from Martin at clehaxze.tw

Two issues arise.

Issue 1: case not closed

Martin talks about how reverse lookups work. I think he's right that we shouldn't trust them. But my issue is that a non-reverse lookup is doing something weird. The name iForgetWhat.br resolves to 127.0.0.1

I tried this via my ISP's name server, and via 1.1.1.1, and via some web based lookups just in case there was something odd about the request coming from my IP (which sounds paranoid, but that's where my mind went). They all showed that the name resolved to 127.0.0.1

Issue 2:

I'm too lazy to read beyond

=> Antenna.

I just assume that's where stuff is. So I didn't see Martin's reply. I happened to be testing

=> some Gemini reading code

and I wanted pages with lots of links, so I tried

=> Cosmos.

Good things about Cosmos are:

• Threaded reply chains - nice idea
• Finds content itself (Antenna only uses submissions?)

Reasons I haven't been using Cosmos are:

• Rendering of threads (aesthetics, not function)
• Habit

Damn. I may have to change my habits. And tweak the link rendering in my Gemini client.

=> #dns | #Antenna | #Cosmos
