calciume I'm trying to remember this thing I saw where someone was running their own DNS server which basically acted as a mini-internet totally seperate from the rest of the internet
# calciume Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Tailscale" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Tailscale is ____", a sentence describing the term)

# calciume doesnm I havent heard of these but it's kinda like that! At least I know the terminology now; alternative DNS root
# calciume The only difference though is that this alternative DNS root intentionally only had their own TLDs on their DNS server so it was seperate from the rest of the internet in that way

thatoddshade Are there IndieWeb members who have DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) / are a plural system?
# thatoddshade What is DID
# Loqi A personal domain is a domain name (or web address) that you personally own, control, and use to represent yourself on the internet https://indieweb.org/DID
# thatoddshade oh wait it’s an homonym
# thatoddshade Wondering because they typically have multiple blogs
# thatoddshade what is plurality
# Loqi ✨ Pluralism is a key principle of the IndieWeb, in particular encouraging a plurality of diverse approaches and projects that interoperate with each other using open standards, in contrast to monoculture efforts which require or even encourage everyone to install the same software, or use the same online service, in order to interoperate https://indieweb.org/plurality,
# thatoddshade Polysemy again
# thatoddshade (oh wait i should say that in meta)
