   @a @gabriel @realcaseyrollins completely removing control choke points is extremely hard and maybe impossible but minimizing them is very possible. the reason I didn't say dns had to be gotten rid of for AP is that is impossible or close to impossible while retaining http compatibility, completely impossible if you want phone apps because phone vendors don't let you incorporate tech that bypasses these things. things like bitcoin or ethereum are decentralized in many more places but still centralized in practice on the development teams and cults of authority surrounding people like spooky money skeleton.

     @a @gabriel @realcaseyrollins dns is a threat today because registrars now can and do regularly pull names for stupid reasons or government pressure. it is a win to move from systems like dns to systems where people can pack up and leave en masse, as hard as that is, if possible.

     @a @gabriel @realcaseyrollins I think we talked a little bit about bluesky before, there are like two or three places where the bluesky team can censor if they really wanted to so the entire thing is a regulatory shell game, it would be tolerable without placeholder

     @gabriel @realcaseyrollins @a my position is only replace dns with something decentralized, replacing it with just a different authoritative root just causes problems

     @Moon@shitposter.club
     Your post inspired me to refresh my understanding of opennic. Which could be a drop-in solution to DNS woes.
     Setting up a certificate authority that plays nice with it seems like an interesting idea. Because apparently letsencrypt cannot

     @xianc78 @gabriel @a @realcaseyrollins just add your sites you use to bookmarks and give them your own names, what's the problem

     @Moon @gabriel @a @realcaseyrollins Just get rid of DNS. If people can memorize phone numbers, they can memorize IP addresses.

     @m0xee @gabriel @realcaseyrollins @a @xianc78 if you can't run on a standard port then you probably can't use .well-known but you can put a nonstandard port in the URL and it typically works just fine. there are servers in my database running on nonstandard ports.

     @gabriel Good point! Probably won't work so well with things we have now. I'm not sure if it would be possible to run a Fedi instance on non-web port with any software we have today — they guess how to get to the instance the user came from by the domain name. You can probaby put the port name in the .well-known hosted at standard web port, but I'm not sure how that would work.

     @xianc78 What about vhosts? One IP-address can host a plethora of things and the only way to tell them apart if the domain name they use 🤷

     @m0xee @gabriel @realcaseyrollins @a @xianc78 gemini intentionally reduces what it supports by a large deal so it would be really reasonable for them to say it will only work on a specific port and if you can't do that port then you're SOL

     @gabriel
     A lot of Gemini browsers don't support non-standard ports. And this is our geeky decentralized shit — the rest is probably even worse 🤷

     @m0xee @xianc78 @gabriel @a @realcaseyrollins just checked the spec, port 1965 is an RFC "SHOULD" not "MUST" so yeah running on other ports is totally acceptable.

     @Moon
     I don't think that it's against the spec though, most servers I've seen can run on any port and in any case, you can redirect, but a lot of client don't support that, it means that people often don't even think about this stuff 😩
