a lot of websites seem to be down.....

For anyone following along and wondering... How do it know?

Here is how to press Butan.

<header 1>Help. My DNS is down and I can't get to
adultfriendfinder.richardstallman.gnu any more!</header 1>

Go to https://www.opennicproject.org/configure-your-dns/ and choose three
DNS servers. The first one should be local to your country. The second one
should be local to your country. The third should be a foreign nation. I
recommend looking up "Five Eyes" and then  picking from a country not on
that list.

But but but.... I can't get to opennicproject! DNS is down!

Ok.

Since you are obviously using Linux as your daily driver, you should have
done all this BEFORE the world caught on fire. But let's pretend you
didn't. Open your terminal and type

dig @193.183.98.154 opennicproject.org A

or

dig @8.8.8.8 opennicproject.org A

or

dig @8.8.4.4 opennicproject.org A

Keep using DNS providers to do a search until you get through or give up
and go outside to play. Either one.

So you can get the IP address for the A record? Then open /etc/hosts with
your vim. Did you sudo up? You should have.

sudo vim /etc/hosts

Now go to the bottom of the thing and type

66.228.63.70 opennicproject.org

Do you even wq bruh?

Now you are a rootin tootin sharp shootin linux hacker. Console cowboy
giddy up.

Bruh - Why did you pick three DNS from different places?
Because the likelihood they take down the whole world DNS is low. You can
probably still get to the interwebs if you have east coast, west coast, and
totally not germany in your list of places to try.

Bruh - Who is 'they'?
The lizard people who control icann and currently control the planet
through manipulation of our free time and access to reddit.com. The greys
use Windows.

Bruh - What else can I do to be prepared for the lizard people?
Build a VPN in a foreign country. Add the rules to switch to a different
set of DNS when connected to the VPN. I VPN to a europeeing country and
then I switch to DNS from that nation. Unless they hit your DNS for that
nation(s), you can easily pivot and be back online at the click of a button.

Bruh - I Use Windows... What OS should I be using?
