A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Do you have an alternative that isn't google? Because google's DNS privacy policy is much worse.
I don't like cloudflare, but their DNS terms are relatively good, and they have my info anyway because as you say, they're everywhere. I don't think my not using their DNS will make any appreciable mark on their business, either.
Check out this list: https://adguard-dns.io/kb/general/dns-providers/
Quad9, DNS.Watch, OpenDNS
Three good alternatives.
Also NextDNS is great because you can change every setting (and the free tier offers you way more usage than you will ever use)
I maxed out the free tier in my first month somehow lol… $20/yr isn't a bad deal for essentially pihole everywhere.
I mean a $35 pi and wireguard [I'm fond of Zerotier personally] can do the same thing... indefinitely... $35/forever > $20/yr :)
Yea that’s on the list for some point. I have a small k3s cluster running on some Pis and experimenting with tailscale.
Nextdns is great.
OpenNIC is an interesting option, if you're okay with community-hosted servers.
