There are alternatives to DNS, like GNS (GNU Name System): https://www.gnunet.org/en/gns.html


Or, at the risk of saying the unpopular thing, Ethereum Name Service? (ENS) This sort of thing is pretty much exactly what ENS is for.


Opennic too, they even allow you to host your own tld.

It's getting harder to change DNS settings on Windows, even systemd makes it a PITA to update DNS entries.


The difficulty with the GNS is getting the public keys that enable the decentralisation. Key signing parties seem to have their limits.

There’s a bunch of alternative DNS roots out there, that are similarly hierarchical, but really interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_DNS_root#Implement...
