No dictatorship has been communist. They use the mantle, that it's for nation and country, but they don't even pay lip service to communism ideals and mechanism. They are just crony capitalist, where the head of the state is the one that uses the state to control the economy rather than the rich doing it by proxy.
No, I'm blaming the ills of humanity on humanity. Capitalism isn't a system that existed till... like 180 years ago. The industrial revolution didn't happen when "capitalism" as a concept existed. Capitalism existed in the time that Marx was alive. Also, I'm muddling concepts? No, the public doesn't know crap about this stuff. I studied 6 years economics, so I have become very annoyed when people call communism or socialism to countries that were neither just because their governants called themselves such.
Read any good book about history of economic theory and thought, you will see that the crap that people talk about on tv and the internet isn't even near with what actual academics study.
Note that Zen Browser is (yet another) Firefox fork. Might as well just use Firefox, with better settings (like Arkenfox user.js, customized how you like it). Would be better security & privacy wise.
Although I agree 1.1.1.1 is fine: To this particular commenter they've had one major outage in 3 total weeks of use, which isn't exactly a good record. (And it's understandable to weigh personal experience above other people claiming this isn't representative.)
Two incidents from two completely different providers in three weeks means that my personal experience with DNS is remarkably less stable recently than the last 20-ish years I've been using the Internet.
Your personal experience is valuable but does not generalize in this case. I have 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1 (failover) set up for ever never experienced an outage.
I have been online for 30y and can't remember being affected by downtime from my ISP DNS.
When DNS resolver is down, it affects everything, 100% uptime is a fair expectation, hence redundancy. Looks like both 1.0.0.1 and 1.1.1.1 were down for more than 1h, pretty bad TBH, especially when you advise global usage.
RCA is not detailed and feels like a marketing stunt we are now getting every other week.
I too have been online for 30 years, and frequently had ISP caused dns issues, even when I wasn't using their resolvers... because of the dns interception fuckery they like to engage in. Before I started running my own resolver I saw downtime from my ISP's DNS resolver. This is across a few ISPs in that time. Anecdata is great isn't it?
Your own "anecdata" shows how catastrophic DNS failures are and why it's justified to expect 100% uptime with proper redundancy. Too bad you had providers not architecturing properly this key part of their infrastructure to the point you had to build your own solution.
I've used Codeberg for some projects and while their work and services are impressive and their progress steady and good, it's really not a proper alternative to Github for many use-cases.
"It depends", as always, but codeberg lacks features (that your use-case may not need, or may require), uptime/performance (that may be crucial or inconsequential to your use-case), familiarity (that may deter devs), integration (that may be time-consuming to build yourself or be unnessecary for your case) etc etc.
