It’s irritating that this is mentioned in the same breath as banning X’s child porn bot.

Piracy isn’t on the same plane.

I am curious what latency a blocklist would incur. Anecdotally, pihole is faster with a block than a lookup even if it’s cached, but how that scales to cloudflare’s scale, I don’t know.

Generally with these things (1.1.1.1), (8.8.8.8),(9.9.9.9) they multicast the IP so it resolves to about the closest one. Each "one" being its own recursive resolver.

In fact: it'd be cool to show instead. If someone from the western hemisphere and eastern both ping 1.1.1.1, they'll get response times that are smaller than the delay from NY to London.

I suspect that @CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de wasn't referring to network latency caused by geographical distance, but instead to response delay caused by increased processing time due to additional complexity.

Correct. Reading is hard I guess.
