DNS is inherently a globally distributed system. Recursive resolvers depend on a hierarchy of name servers—root, TLD, and authoritative—many of which are geographically and administratively dispersed. Attempting to localize DNS strictly within national or continental boundaries goes against the core architecture of how name resolution works.

This particular initiative, while branded as an EU project, appears to be the product of a consortium of private companies, CERTs, and academic partners. In practice, efforts like these often struggle with cohesion, efficiency, and long-term viability—especially when guided by complex bureaucratic processes. It’s difficult to imagine such a model offering a meaningful alternative to existing resolvers, either in terms of privacy, performance, or sovereignty.

Totally reads as a reply generated by chatGPT or something similar. If this was written manually, congrats for mastering the style.

I consider HN a more serious and knowledgeable crowd, so I try to keep my replies professional and well-reasoned to reflect that. That said, I do like to use AI tools to clean up grammar and phrasing. I also write a lot of whitepapers and technical documentation at work, maybe some of that “leaked” into my response.

To be honest I found it hard to read, it seemed to be more focused on using big words and formal language than explaining the point. Not trying to roast you, just honest criticism. I think that's what gives the "ChatGPT" feeling.

I know someone else that writes like that, he is deeply involved in government bureaucracy and they have this complex jargon that I don't know.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback, really. When I type from a computer, during working hours, that happens.

I don't know if that's something you should be congratulated for though

It would make them more anonymous / harder to link to other IDs if that's what they were after.

For using ChatGPT, or for still being capable of manual writing in the age of AI?

No one is trying to "localize DNS strictly within national boundaries". Just first first step your computer makes in resolving it.

This perspective is supported by

a) the sentence structure and overall phraseology being significantly different from the user's prior posts, and

b) the flagrant (ab)use of the em dash.
