I really enjoyed this short series on making a dns server in python. It's very to the point and watchable. You can get through it in an evening or two.

Re: Implement DNS in a Weekend
#32I love all the series about writing your own X in 100 lines of code. It gives you the understanding of technology and removes a lot of unnecessary details. The great examples of this are 'A from-scratch tour of Bitcoin in Python' https://karpathy.github.io/2021/06/21/blockchain/ and 'Let's build GPT: from scratch, in code, spelled out' https://youtu.be/kCc8FmEb1nY from Andrej Karpathy I wonder if anybody tried to col…
Maybe not only 100 lines of code though, I think of Code Crafters. https://github.com/codecrafters-io/build-your-own-x
i subscribed to codecrafters for a bit. it was ok, but it was super annoying to have to use their tooling around git and ci. too much hand holding.

#33Cool! I'd implemented a very low quality DNS server in rust to solve a hackattic challenge

It'll be interesting to see if the server implementation is complete enough to work with this client

Adding Liz Rice's superb "Containers from scratch" to the list.

I hadn't heard of hackattic [0], but the challenges look great. Thanks.

The series is great, wish I had more time to try out the projects!

#37Earlier quoted context omitted.
That would mean getting a Pi, which I don't have...
Setting the pi-hole as your DNS server in your router would not work? TV should then use this DNS server after getting an IP-address via DHCP.
The Pi-hole isn't hosted on my local network, but on my Tailscale network because it's running on a VPS. My router can't run Tailscale, so that's not possible.

#38Tangential, but this made me remember:
- Some time ago on HN I saw a free ad blocking DNS server (https://controld.com/free-dns)
- I had wondered what protocol the 'Private DNS' setting on my Pixel uses, but never got around to checking.
It turns out that it setting the 'Private DNS provider hostname' to x-oisd.freedns.controld.com just works: DNS-over-TLS and ad blocking.

I just submitted this as its own post, because I thought it was so cool, but here's a complete operating system in 2000 lines of code: https://github.com/yhzhang0128/egos-2000

#40I just have to say I love everything Julia produces. Very inspiring!
