Nostr's final boss: DNS
Discussion
It's always DNS

Lol i love my fancy sauce
Degens Not Syncing?
Kill it with fire
Nostr and Fedimint share the same enemy
DNS has always been the final boss
Can we build npub as addresses on top of IP?
Bookmarked 🤜🤛
Holesail.io can be used as a replacement of DNS, it allows you to use a dynamic IP while keeping the connection string static, while using no DNS system at all.
Disadvantages I can think of: iOS version of holesail pauses as soon as it goes into background so Nostr will work only when the app is open (I am looking for a workaround), there is no web version of Holesail.
But Desktop version of Nostr clients on Windows, Mac, Linux and even Android can utilise Holesail to run and connect to a Nostr node based on a "connection string".
If someone wants to run a Nostr node over holesail, just ping me and I will help them personally.
Looks like it's comparable to ngrok/tailscale but it's powered by a DHT? I suppose holesail support would have to be added directly to clients. But maybe you could run a bridge locally that would map connector.holesail.local strings to holesail IPs?

The bridge would then need to be run on a public server and thats what I call a jump server.
Adding holesail support to clients is a good idea, otherwise you can connect with local ip and port that holesail provides.

Nah. TCP/IP is the final boss.
Concur.
The electromagnetic spectrum is the final boss.
Governments have limited their usage because they can and if you want a slice you better have one of those deep pockets.
But they need to use physical violence to enforce control of the EM spectrum.
Controlling the tcp/IP networks is cheap and easy.
cancel DNS then and make a new nostr layer that is its own 🤷🏼♂️ probably a massive job though
ISPs seem like a formidable foe as well
