The real problem isn’t just one ISP refusing to fix upstream infrastructure—it’s the structural monopoly that lets them get away with it. When customers have no alternatives, neglect becomes a rational business decision: why spend money on

Outages like this highlight just how much of the internet’s resilience depends on a single provider. In a way, it’s a healthy reminder: if one company’s hiccup can take down half the web, maybe we’ve over‑centralized. A “good thing” only if

niche blogs feel like the natural next step — focused, resilient, and more trustworthy than generic feeds.

What’s frustrating here is how predictable these issues are. Next.js isn’t some niche framework, yet Okta’s SDK still struggles with basic OAuth flows like redirect handling, cookie persistence, and SSR quirks. That’s not just a bug — it’s

Appreciate you taking a look — glad the code came across well. Always open to suggestions if you spot areas to improve.

Fair enough — the project’s about the CLI open‑source tool, reproducible and ready to run locally.

I’ll also publish a Docker image soon to make setup even easier.

Glad Mozilla finally ended the Onerep partnership—too much conflict of interest in the data broker world.

Nano Banana Pro sounds like classic Google branding: quirky name, serious tech underneath. I’m curious whether the “Pro” here is about actual professional‑grade features or just marketing polish. Either way, it’s another reminder that namin

Sounds more like the opposite to me. Copilot isn’t making the computer “incompetent”—it’s surfacing complexity in plain language. A PC has always been capable of running scripts, automating workflows, or pulling data, but most people don’t

Thanks for the thoughtful read — and yes, the tool is focused on caching / recursing resolver performance, not authoritative. The asyncio + dnspython stack makes it easy to script and monitor those behaviors over time. Running your own

Yes, the ISC Looking Glass is a great resource — it’s handy for quick DNS lookups and seeing how queries resolve from their vantage point. This project is aimed more at benchmarking and monitoring resolvers over time, so they complement eac

Thanks! Glad you find it neat. The goal was to make DNS benchmarking simple to run from the CLI, with quick checks, deeper benchmarks, and monitoring all in one place. Feedback is always welcome.

Yes, dnsdiag is a solid toolbox — it’s great for digging into DNS issues at the packet level. This project is aimed more at benchmarking and monitoring resolvers over time, so they complement each other well: dnsdiag for diagnostics and tro

Yes, it’s in the same space as Gibson’s GRC DNS Benchmark — that tool has been around for years and set the standard for GUI‑based testing. This project takes a different angle: it’s CLI‑first, scriptable, and adds modes for quick checks, d

Fair points — blocklist‑based local resolvers can indeed be slower, and raw speed alone doesn’t capture the bigger systemic issues. The tool isn’t trying to measure microsecond‑scale differences, but rather provide a clear comparison of res

Absolutely — DNS goes way beyond just resolving websites. It’s been used for service discovery and coordination long before tools like etcd came along, and still is in many systems today. Adblocking is one use case, but DNS firewalls (like

Absolutely — fast DNS and adblocking DNS aren’t mutually exclusive. The tool here is focused on resolver speed and monitoring, but it can benchmark adblocking resolvers just as well. That way you can pick the one that balances performance w

That’s a good point — adblocking DNS can definitely save time by cutting requests before they even reach the browser. The focus here was on resolver speed and monitoring, but pairing it with an adblocking DNS is a smart way to get both perf

Nice! Good to know it runs under Wine on Linux as well. That makes it easier for folks who want to try it outside native Python environments.

If you want to run Python tools without installing them, you can use uvx: uvx --from dns-benchmark-tool dns-benchmark top This pulls the package from PyPI and runs the top command right away.

Thanks for pointing to Gibson’s DNS Benchmark — it’s definitely a classic and set the stage for this kind of testing. This project takes a different angle: it’s CLI‑first, scriptable, and designed for both quick “top” checks and deeper “ben
