  • There are several governments in Europe and abroad that have ordered DNS lookups for specific domains to be blocked.

    They probably mean that we can’t trust the government to keep information free and need a way to restrict governments from blocking DNS lookups.

    Unfortunately, you can’t really do DNS in a decentralized manner as the concept is based on a hirarchy.

    Example:

    If you want to go to www.coolsite.org your computer would make the following requests:

    • Hey root server, who handles requests for .org?
    • Hey .org DNS server, who handles requests for .coolsite.org?
    • Hey .coolsite.org DNS server, who is www.coolsite.org?

    I don’t really know how to decentralize this…

    So far I have yet to hear about another car maker making a car that locks the doors in a fail deadly way, or another car manufacturer that requires dismantling the interior to get to the emergency door opener…

    Then you have the Cybertruck, a vehicle so insanely dumb that only a ketamine fueled bender with a group of yes men could have created it, I mean it can’t really be used or the finnish is runied.

    That is just not comparable to other car makers.

    I drive a 2021 Seat Leon PHEV, I like it, but I am no fanboy for Seat or any other VAG brand, we don’t need fanboys, we need critical thinking, and if a cars doors was reported to fail deadly, I would not buy that car, regardless of how excellent it may otherwise be.













  • Part of me is annoyed that I didn’t get a Mazda 3 when I got my car back in 2023, I got a 2021 Seat Leon FR PHEV Hatchback.

    I like the Leon, but it has so much touch controls.

    The worst is the controls for the fog lights, heated rear window and defrost.

    They are all located on a small touch panel to the right of the steering wheel, it is also angled down making it harder to see.

    So if I am driving and the windows start to fog up I need to take my eyes off the road and aim my finger to touch the correct button without touching any other controls as I might be blinding other drivers.

    It is a terrible design.

    The AC and battery management screens are all under different submenus on the infotainment screen.

    The rest of the car is great though, and so far i have not seen any ads on the screen.
