Anna’s Archive has lost its .li domain a few hours ago, likely due to ongoing legal pressure. The .gl domain survived for now.

Edit: Looks like they added new domains.

Centralized DNS is antithesis to a free internet.

It cost you nothing to add, say, OpenNIC to your system

I thought it was weird that ENS was not mentioned, found this interesting argument in the talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Alternative_DNS_root#ENS_removal, apparently it has been censored. Edit: I guess that was a pretty long time ago though

So from my understanding, its just a self hosted root server alternative to ICANN?

As always, make sure to visit the Wikipedia page on Anna's Archive to stay up to date on the latest domains. .ll was removed from the article 6 hours ago!

Can they get a donation in Cuba?

I suppose, as you can donate through internet casino tokens crypto.

Is the .gl domain down as well? Or is my DNS messing with me? I can open the newer ones, though.

I know blockchains aren't popular in some parts, but this sort of thing is exactly what ENS is for. They could buy a domain name there that could never be "taken away" by any outside authority, to serve as an ultimate fallback.

I2P & Onion sites exist for this purpose without wasting copious amounts of power.

There are existing alternative web protocols as well.

ENS runs on Etherium which no longer uses POW, thus doesn’t waste power in the same way as eg bitcoin

also I2P and onion don’t have name systems per se, so that doesn’t actually address the problem… AA could just use an IP address or something, but they require (for human usability) well known domain names

I2P and onion still require systems for discovery. they solve different problems to name systems

That's the website, not ENS itself. ENS is a smart contract running on Ethereum, access to it cannot be disabled without shutting down Ethereum as a whole.
