Cloudflare Launches 1.1.1.1 Consumer DNS Service With a Focus On Privacy (betanews.com)
BrianFagioli writes: Today, Cloudflare announces a new consumer DNS service with a focus on privacy. Called '1.1.1.1.' it quite literally uses that easy-to-remeber IP address as the primary DNS server. Why announce on April Fool's Day? Because the IP is four ones and today's date is 4/1 -- clever. The secondary server is 1.0.0.1 -- also easy to remember.
The big question is why? With solid offerings from Google and Comodo, for instance, does the world need another DNS service? The answer is yes, because Cloudflare intends to focus on both speed, and more importantly, privacy.

Cloudflare lost all credibility after what they did to the Daily Stormer. Look: I'm sure CF thinks they'll protect your privacy, but that goes out the door someone thinks you're a "Nazi". And you're a Nazi these days if you believe there are fewer than 52 genders.
So fuck Cloudflare.
Exactly. You must take a stand against freedom of speech in order to protect it.
1) Slashdotting hasn't been a thing for like a decade now.
2) This is fucking cloudflare. You know, one of the companies SPECIFICALLY IN BUSINESS TO HELP WEBSITES AVOID THINGS LIKE SLASHDOTTING.
If /. could take them down, that would rather sink their business model.

No.
YOU consider Nazis to be Evil and worthy of extermination (as do I.) In some places, the same sentiment exists towards gays, Christians, Muslims, Jews, insert name of political party here, etc.
The only way to ensure that DNS is not used against legitimate ideas is to ensure it does not allow ANY site to be blocked over content. DNS should never do more than ensure entires are legitimate and not hijacked.

> Dell IPMI defaults the network address to this ip when it doesn't get a response from the dhcp server.
Already addressed in RFC3927 for quite some time. Have Dell update their firmware.
"169.254.0.0/16 - This is the "link local" block. As described in [RFC3927], it is allocated for communication between hosts on a single link. Hosts obtain these addresses by auto-configuration, such as when a DHCP server cannot be found."
and why does Slashdot still not allow comment editing?
Because its a stupid feature that would only benefit careless people such as yourself allowing you to feel no consequences for your carelessness, while potentially hurting everyone else who could then feel real consequences from your constant never ending carelessness.
