Show HN: DN$ – an innovative, ad-supported DNS resolver (github.com)
Today we're introducing the innovative, privacy-focused, ad-supported DNS resolver - DN$! Traditional DNS resolvers provided by your internet service provider, cloudflare, or google could be tracking your internet activity and selling it to third-party data vendors. We at DN$ want to fix that and cut out these nefarious actors (until we've amassed a critical number of users to exploit).
In order to support such a radically new business model, our service needs to serve adverts because $INSERT_FAKE_REASONS. Open source and built in rust - our software is secure and blazingly fast because it is open source and built in rust.
As a corporate entity, our executives are not liable for prison time and will probably only be fined small financial penalties for any serious crimes we commit. However, we *promise* that we are NOT doing anything nefarious like tracking and selling your user data and internet behavior. We will also NOT be using the data (we are not collecting : ) to train AI models to make ourselves rich.
Did we mention that it's built in rust therefore it's safe and fast?
Send your DNS queries to `35.223.197.204` :) to try it out:

get on with the times, gramps.
Ad-supported DNS is already a common problem of the major Consumer ISPs, which is part of the reason it is often suggested to own your own home router, and to use a DNS provider of your own choice in your router (depending on who you trust to not also eventually add ads to their DNS, often the choices are Google or Cloudflare or DIY things like PiHoles).

Great project, I found out about a course that'll help me make 100,000 USD a month!
This sounds like a serious, security vulnerability. We'll investigate it in 3-5 years
No, this didn’t trick me.
Lying and pranking are both bad things to do, and they’re bad on 1 April, too.
If you find this kind of thing fun, we can’t be friends and I will forever look down at you.
It’s my problem, I know, I just can’t condone pranking or deception for any reason.
People want pranking to be ok because they want to have the license to prank someone.
In my experience, it is the pranksters I have known who have been most easily fooled by scams and misinformation.
Assholes hide behind pranks believing that saying “it’s just a prank, bro” afterwards frees them from the “asshole” label, or that it somehow excuses the whole exercise. It does not. It makes them a coward for trying to hide behind the “harmless prank” label.
Also, you can’t know a prank is harmless until after it has concluded. Any number of unpredictable things can go wrong during a prank that are subtly and unpredictably harmful in ways that the prankster could never know beforehand.
The only good pranks are the ones in which the pranked, after the pranking, wishes it happened more often. Never in my life have I witnessed such a prank, and I spent years in the military: pranksters paradise.
Hmm. I'm starting on a new project tomorrow. Perhaps I should mail the customer and tell them I decided to rewrite the whole project in Rust?

Trying again on a network thats well setup lets me actually see the proper replies.
