You failed to answer even the first question in response to your first point:
DNS is prone to going down a lot
My DNS is not prone to going down, why is that?
For someone that claims a lot, you don't really have much to back it up.
FACT: Hosts do FAR MORE for FAR LESS than any other SINGLE solution & they are NATIVE to your system's IP stack already in kernelmode efficiency + speed!
You completely ignored all the caveats I pointed out.
Especially vs. slower broken or exploitable usermode crap, especially browser addons which I noticed you give up on
Except if you read my post, I stated I use addons and I can't even remember a time when they broke on me during updates. I also stated I don't use them for advertisement blocking which is what your assumption was.
P.S.=> There IS no "manual labor" using my program
You have to go to each damn computer to set it up.
migrating them by scripts is easy for central admins on large networks too
Why the hell would large networks use hosts file instead of end point security solutions like Lumension?
Oh no, my router at home has a blacklist of domains, that's a bigger chance than the average that has no blacklist. You talk a lot of shit.
uses more resources
Nah, my solution uses less resources. Less storage, less manual labour (after all, I only have to change the router, nothing else), less CPU (only one system has to deal with filtering, all the other systems spend less CPU than before, because there isn't even a TCP connection attempted to invalid IPs like 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255 etc.
moving parts to exploit or breakdown
Hosts files are broken by operating system design, they're not meant to block DNS entires, they're not meant to handle large amounts of domains (look how it breaks on Windows), they're not even capable of blacklisting an entire domain without listing all of it's subdomains which goes into multi-terabyte files which Windows cannot load and uses far more memory than a simple wildcard blacklist on DNS server.
home users can make do with a hosts file they can easily manage
A large amount of devices in my home don't even support hosts files in any reasonable way. Tablets, game consoles, television, mobile phones etc. For the home user, this is probably a better and more wholesome way to handle blacklisting of domains because you won't have enterprise-level control of all your devices.
Full integration with Active Directory, for fine-grained permissions over all aspects of the mail/calendar system.
Have more in depth permission schemes in Zimbra actually.
For example, with Exchange and AD, I can create a distribution group, and delegate "ownership" of that group to a specific user, so they can add/remove users to that group. I can set that group to "open" or "closed", meaning users can either join it/leave it without owner approval, or not.
Can do that in Zimbra.
I can give an arbitrary user access to another users entire mailbox, or give them only permission to "send as" a different user, or distribution group.
Can do that in Zimbra, the sharing function are actually a much nicer set of ACL options than what Exchange/Outlook provides.
I can allow only certain users to send to specific addresses, meaning I can have a "My Entire Company" distribution group that only specific people can send mail to.
Can do that in Zimbra.
And then there are similar permissions/delegation options for calendars, and Public Folders, and even Skype for Business. If you have VoIP phone systems, and compatible phones, you can even access all of your mail/calendar/Skype messages from your phone.
You can do this in Zimbra, however for the VoIP stuff, you'll need a 3rd party addon (it exists, because I use it). As for the Skype for Business/Lync, I don't really know, but Zimbra has a built in instant messaging solution that works too.
I can set deletion and archive polices for each user, or a group of users. I can set mailbox size limits per user, or per group. I can create a "discovery search", meaning I can allow access to a user's mailbox, but only for mails that meet a specific search criterion.
Can do that in Zimbra.
And of course, there is a cottage industry of add-ons for Exchange to do a million other things. Mimecast, for example, allows automatic off-site archiving of all email (with an Outlook plugin to search the mail), and automatic failover to Mimecast's servers if Exchange goes offline.
Plenty for Zimbra too.
It's just endless. Exchange has no real competition.
Where Zimbra can't beat Exchange on is complete perfect integration with Outlook. It does however beat Exchange and Outlook on their offered functionality.

You live in fear of apk and so do your employers in advertisers and inferior competitiors and you know your time is short.
Great holy armies shall be gathered and trained to fight all whom embrace evil. In the name of the Gods, ships shall be built to carry out our warriors out amongst the stars and we will spread advertising to all the unbelievers. The power of advertising will be felt far and wide and the wicked shall be vanquished.
Slashdot Mirror
Oh no, not actual experience in the matter!
If your own home router's DNS server dies constantly, I don't think that's the fault of DNS, APK.
Sock puppet all you want, APK.
Using 'people' as a currency/money is kind of creepy.
Thanks for the info!
What method did you use to confirm that anycasting wasn't being used and what were the exact results?
How much money does 20 millions users in France translate to?
But my question was:
My DNS is not prone to going down, why is that?
Your evidence has failed to provide, yet again.

I don't need that crap, my network already blocks unwanted domains through DNS. This has no relevance to the extensions I use.
Windows Telnet server supports using NTLMv2. You're speaking non-sense.
Most applications seem to be running fine here?
If you want to see a few decades of disaster (or lack of) with backwards compatibility though... Just look at OS X.
Why would you use vi instead of vim?
I've had OpenSSH running on Windows for many, many years now. I don't know what your problem is?
As a Firefox user, I use many addons and I can't recall the last time this happened?
I just pointed one out, repeatedly.
Actually...

Yeah, still not working on these advertisements, either.

Nah, I know the definition of advertisement.

I have no product I am advertising. I am however pointing out that yours does not block the one an annoying advert you've got all over this page, APK.
So, do you have schizophrenia?
I can tell you as someone that did serve in the military that barely anyone would know the ridiculous trivia you're quoting.
