    The DNS it’s so mind blowing to think about how we are able to map so many domains to so many ip adresses so smart and stable

      Funny you should say that. DNS is 40 years old. Definitely not futuristic tech. But yeah, it works surprisingly well.

      And that the service replies practically instantly every time no matter which domain you choose.

      Edit: wtf is with these downvotes? DNS is without a doubt the fastest part of accessing the internet. In website load time, it’s an almost unnoticable fraction of the total load time.
