Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I did one DNS query and it took 22 msec with the nearest OpenNIC server and 24 msec with Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1
So dunno... roughly same responsiveness? Maybe OpenNIC is a tad faster? For a proper answer we'd need to do more measurements, though. And with OpenNIC you definitely need to pick a good server, not just any random one. They'll have different locations, different policies and they're in widely different datacenters.
That makes sense, since you're in EU and opennic is in DE.
Isn't it a global effort? According to what I see, they list a bunch of servers in all Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, ...Japan?!
Of the tier 1 servers, 2 are in DE and 2 are in USA.
You won't really hit tier2 unless you're trying to hit very specific records.
I don't think you're supposed to query Tier 1 servers as a client. I keep forgetting how DNS and recursive lookup works, but the Tier 2 servers would be what people connect to and who do the heavy lifting. The Tier 1 do the root, authoritative stuff and their custom TLDs.
I'll have to check it out. Thanks.
