#72Surprised by all the negativity and dismissiveness in the comments.
Bunny in general has been a positive experience for me so looking forward to trying this
Not so sure about the per million pricing on scriptable dns queries. Isn’t it quite easy to generate billions of dns queries? ie I hope there is some sort of ddos mitigation in front of that

I know that we all have our preferences of langauges, but is Javascript in 2022 actually any worse than anything else as a scripting language? What would you prefer instead?
That's of course purely anecdotal, but recently I explored static site generators. One of these was Hugo(written in go, which is pretty young ecosystem, I'm not very familiar with). Everything was pretty straight forward. Other one was Gatsby v4 (seems like pretty mature JS project). Oh boy. Docs suggest multiple ways to initialize new project, depending which page you open and without clear explanation of the differ…
This is more Gatsby’s design decisions (which I agree are terrible) than a JavaScript thing.

The application being privacy focused and the marketing site using normal marketing optimization techniques are different things.
On the other hand, it's usually best to lead by example and "put your money where your mouth is".
Yes, and lose a bunch of money. :)
You could argue cold calling is worse than a tracking cookie. But I would still have salesmen cold call for a privacy focused product, for example.

Very interesting license

>They had me at the combination of the words "scriptable" and "DNS." Same, but then they lost me at Javascript.
May I interest you in some Lua instead? https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/lua-records/index.htm... I run PowerDNS but haven't found a reason to play with this yet.
Woah, I've been running PowerDNS for a while but never knew this existed. I can't think of a use for this just yet, but I love it!

#77Oh ffs, why does TFA refer to this as "internet routing"?? This is HTTP routing, or "web routing" if you want, but "internet routing" is something else entirely -- think BGP and OSPF. Is this a thing now, to refer to HTTP routing as "internet routing"?
Can you explain why would DNS be limited to Web ?
It's not. It's just that "internet routing" really refers to routing protocols, while TFA seems to mean something completely different, and, really, specifically HTTP routing.

Since when is DNS used exclusively for HTTP?
It's not, but I took TFA to refer to the web primarily.

geo-ip has never returned the correct state for me (across 3 different ISPs). The automatic Timezone detection on phones also rarely works correctly here. So I can easily believe that it’s wildly inaccurate for a significant amount of the world.
I guess I'm just curious about how far off we're talking about. Is it accurate by country? Accurate by general region if not the entire state? Depending on the purpose you're using it for I'm just wondering about the accuracy level for sake of "good enough" uses.
I would guess that it is accurate at the continent level.

Yeah honestly I have very little faith in a license, especially on such a small project, to actually do anything. Mostly a small platform tbh. It did keep dug from being accepted to homebrew though
