No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

No it isn't, because the way DNS work.
So a dns server either knows the webadresses it serves, or it knows which way to point you for more info. This is a leveled arrangement, so there are some high level dns servers that basically divide the whole Internet in sections (11, if I members correctly). And they all have layers of subsidiaries, like a tree structure. The leaves of this tree know a few specific addresses, or else they send you up the tree and the node might send you down again, to a different leave.
If you would do this on block chain, you wouldn't need the intermediate nodes anymore, but the leaves would contain all the information themselves. The leaves, in this case, would probably be a file on your computer and would basically contain the entire Internet. Anyways, the big problem with this isn't size, but the linking. Blockchain only knows which nodes came before your node, not which nodes came after. Even if you did implement it like that, you'd have a massive list of nodes. Imagine you have an old ip address and you want to lookup a brand new website. You could possibly be sent through millions of nodes before you find what you're looking for. The tree structure dns has now, cuts that down to maybe a dozen nodes, depending on what you're looking for. You can actually how many nodes with traceroute, or online om dnschecker.org/online-traceroute
Bad bot!
