I agree it’s a stupid hack, but there are good reasons to use public addresses in your local environment too: for example you’ll need it for any roaming device like a laptop or a phone. It also vastly simplifies certificate management where you can just use sour existing publicly valid certs to access your services.
The only proper solution would probably be ipv6, but that’s not trivial either.
While true, you should also mention that there’s way more ICEs and (more importantly) the way they burn is much, much safer.
You can’t really extinguish lithium fire, it burns way hotter, and it’s more toxic.
Comparatively an ICE car burning is not a big deal; they almost never make other stuff around them burn, and also when they catch on fire it’s pretty much exclusively only when people are still near/in them so there’s A chance to notice it and do something about it.
Competition only works when the stuff you’re protecting can have competition. If it’s an algorithm that’s objectively better with no alternative, it doesn’t really work.
It’s also like… When you can have anything in the world it stops having meaning. So you can realistically only crave power, and by pushing others towards shittier and more miserable lives you elevate yours - it’s the only way.
Ahh okay. Well then the issue becomes actually having this DNS server with all the records you need, and serving it to the correct clients - for example you’ll need a different set of records for your LAN and for your VPN.
Although come to think of it since my DNS records are already kinds scripted I could probably fairly easily just script different URLs based on the DNS server I want to serve them from… Maybe worth a try.
