@lucidiot@snug.moe BGP / public IP discovery? actually that's rDNS. DHCP / local IP discovery? actually that's mDNS. TLS? actually that's DANE (DNS-based authentication of named entities). browsing history leaking and showing what websites you visit? this too is caused by DNS. how to fix it? also with DNS (over QUIC, see: DANE). your home IP address keeps changing but you want to host stuff? That's DNS. specifically dynamic DNS. this used to be a hack kinda but now it's just a normal type of DNS transaction. how to advertise support for HTTPS? also DNS. who needs HSTS preloading when there is HTTPS record. you can even advertise ECH this way. how to establish trust on the internet? also DNS. in the root keys we trust...
@lucidiot@snug.moe yes. there is a URI _vcard underscored node name in which you can put a data: URI encoding a vCard, with a GENDER Female and a reference to another vCard with RELATION girlfriend and this is yuri in DNS
@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social they didn't get access to "like, a billion devices". the packages were pulled offline within like 2 hours. almost nobody actually downloaded the packages in that time; this never went unnoticed for any period of time.
however, yes, there were a lot of downloads in that time (as there is at any given moment for those packages) and your point still stands; damn they could've done a lot more damage if it wasn't totally targeted at ethereum users.
see also: Waydroid, which is very usable now but actually runs an Android VM so it's way less efficient. (maybe not great for battery life? not sure, really)
