You don't cut the middle man, you create the middle man with Unbound. And Unbound needs to ask other DNS servers on the internet to resolve DNS queries. Your local DNS server can't just magically know which IP is behind a domain like for example google.com. It needs to ask other DNS servers that know the answer. So unless you're not using hyperlocal you will always need a DNS server on the internet to browse the web.

Here's an explanation by Cloudflare.

My thoughts exactly. Next is: "OMG did you know there's the all seeing eye on the dollar notes! That means you're being spied on wherever there is cash!!!!"
Stuff like this just makes me wanna roll my eyes.

Depends on what is secure enough to you. For me that is secure enough but I know a ton of people out there who would say it's not secure enough for them. So in the end it's up to you. Think about the risks and make a decision.

I second mailbox.org. Great email provider that I use too.

I second this. Been using this tool since it was first released. It's a must for everyone who uses Win10/Win11, has a sense of privacy and has a reason why he cannot switch to Linux.

The title is misleading. The article only talks about LinkedIn.

Good choice. I've switched from pfSense to OPNsense over a year ago and I never looked back. Now that the news are out there's one more reason for me to not look back.

Yes but I think only very few applications use a hard coded DNS server. And under all those applications who use a hard coded DNS server is probably a very low percentage that uses encrypted DNS.

Well, you will always need an upstream DNS server to surf the internet. Even your DNS server in your LAN needs an upstream DNS server or it can't resolve domain names. This means whatever upstream DNS server you use you need trust it. Imo NextDNS is a good choice here.

I didn't know that so thanks for pointing that out. My search results pointed me here. Is this the one you're talking about?

If you ask me then don't bother buying them. Why? Because typing in your password to unlock your DB is still possible and afaik it cannot be turned off. Adding Yubikeys as additional option adds comfort but it's an additional way for an intruder to unlock your DB. You want less options for an unauthorized person to unlock your DB for better security, not more.

It's pretty complicated to use or maybe I'm just too dumb. Also it looks like I can't put images in table cells which makes it irrelevant to me anyway.
