I’ve seen the crypto scams, unfortunately, which is basically what brought me to ask this question.
Is there a reason why they decided that domain names should be owned? Cause it kinda sounds like the metaverse, but older (like buying digital land and stuff). And idk, it just leaves a bad taste for me at least.
I meant more like did it have to be a central agreement for it to scale up to what it is now?
But why did everyone agree to that? Couldn’t domains be determined by user, or at least a bit more decentralized? (ex: google.com leads to IP address 1.1.1.1)
I should’ve asked the question earlier. Thank you so much!
Oh OK that’s awesome!
What is single sign-on?
The only thing I’m at risk of is receiving a warning from my ISP :(
I’ll get a VPN one day I promise
Awesome! I was looking for one to gift to my cousins
Well I’m not sure if it counts as pirated, but I played for aseprite after I used it for a while.
Thanks for answering! I was more wondering what kind of issue DNS solved and why it was solved that way. Also if anyone thought of another solution.
I also read the history here (https://cyber.harvard.edu/icann/pressingissues2000/briefingbook/dnshistory.html), and it still seems pretty sketchy to me that the concern of website names being inaccessible to small businesses and such was solved with the ICANN. Didn’t this just make domain names into stuff you could speculate with? I may be tweaking rn, but I don’t think it’s necessarily right.
