Any idea how to modify the DNS on a mac running OS X ?

and textile sadly doesn’t work in your names (-: lol

• _.defunkt
• camp.d

On Mac OS X :

1. Go to System Preferences -> Network ->

2. Add 72.36.180.123 to DNS Servers in the TCP /IP Tab.

this is possibly the coolest thing ever done. if you start charging tho i’m going to be upset.

Even though I was a part of this, I still can’t access it. DAMN NTL .

• m.d

(unfortunately TextDrive’s webmin doesn’t seem to like the _.you domains)

What about wildcard domains? Can I register something like *.foo.d?

Hey _why, do any of your funky domain name things use Sun RPC calls (over port 111)? I only ask because I’ve gotten a couple of emails from my network admins about traffic on that port and when I asked if I could see logs, they seemed to point back towards the hoodwink.d webserver.

You’re brilliant, and I love you.

simply wonderous.

Apple doesn’t want you to:

domains with _ don’t seem to won’t to work in linux :(

how?: They work for me.

two questions:

1. extending rick’s question, can we delegate other dns servers to host nic.d domains?
2. Also, (a bit off topic) why would the user field in one’s hoodwink.d comment entry form be greyed out and inaccessible while the others remain available? I can’t post any comments at all; it is a fresh install on Firefox 1.5 with current Greasemonkey…

eek, Firefox haet _.anything. But it’s linux, so I understand.

Ha ha! Too cool!

that, dear people, was beautiful and brilliant. yay toys!

is it possible to have 2 simulatenous DNS ’s ? (im on windoz) i.e can I surf the underworld at the same time as RL ?

i would like to see CNAME entries in addition to the A ones :-)

And there you have it.

nic.id.hobix.com goes by secret wizard code: 72.36.180.123

http://pwn.d / http://fucke.d

Getting apache to treat the domain correctly was a bit of a challenge for me, so here’s what I added to my apache2’s site-available file (linked to by sites-enabled):

<VirtualHost 209.135.157.143:80>
        ServerName pwn.d
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        DocumentRoot /var/www/pwnd
        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride None
        </Directory>
        <Directory /var/www/pwnd/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>
        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/pwnd-error.log
        LogLevel warn
        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/pwnd-access.log combined
        ServerSignature On

</VirtualHost>

also haven’t had luck getting si!!ysnot.d to resolve, firefox says “Server not found”.

I know some chars make browsers and things flip out, but I assure you these names are yours. Here’s how you can test your domains in irb (on a machine setup with nic.d):

 >> require 'resolv-replace'
 => true
 >> IPSocket.getaddress("^_^.d")
 => "ip.ip.ip.ip" 
 >> IPSocket.getaddress("@.margot")
 => "ip.ip.ip.ip" 
 >> IPSocket.getaddress(%{si!!ysnot.d})
 => "ip.ip.ip.ip" 

Safari appears to be the most forgiving with punctuated hosts. Then IE, then Firefox, then Opera.

rick: No wildcards, since the asterisk gets to be hisself this time.

Aside from the usual problems, I also get DNS problems. It only seems to try the first DNS server in my list. It works if I do it explicitly (nslookup nic.d nic.d.hobix.com).

I think Socks5 lets you do DNS queries over the tunnel, though, so shouldn’t be much of a problem for me ;)

thanks for the headz up on windoz

re: pointing these domains at an IP. Will I be able to get this working on a (quite flexible) shared host ?

It seems DreamHost doesn’t seem to like hosting invalid domains. Maybe better hosts will ;)

On the other hand, maybe I could submit a support ticket. Hah, that would confuse them!

Are we down? I can’t seem to get to the nic.d site anymore

Is there any way to delete a domain when you’re done messin’ with it? *.d points to 127.0.0.1 for the time being.

Got any hints as to how to set it up with BIND ?

options {
    // ...
    forwarders { 72.36.180.123; };
    // ...
}

Pretty sweet.

... it doesn’t work, after all. Phooey.

_why, you’ve made my life-long dreams come true. I am now, finally, proud owner of the domain (>^_(7*.*)7

_why: is the DNS responder written in Ruby? will you be releasing it?

whoo got it working…

b.ad:”http://b.ad”

whoo got it working…

ba.d:”http://ba.d”

to those that’re having trouble getting it to work on OS X . It works just fine if you follow the instructions above about adding it to your network prefs. Note that you need to add the ip address of nic.d.hobix.com (currently 72.36.180.123) not nic.d.hobix.com. If you still have issues try making it the first dns in the list.

I’m getting a fcgi error…

working now…

how do I run camping on a port other than 3301 again?

camping blog.rb -p 80

Oh joy, oh joy!

PING ☠.d (85.158.201.133): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 85.158.201.133: icmp_seq=0 ttl=59 time=19.286 ms

Aww I’m sad. I registered .com, but nothing will recognize it including safari, ping, or IRB . )-:

any suggestions for somone (unfortuanately) on XP that has correctly put in DNS , but still can’t access anything? I’ve tested it out in irb and i still can’t get anything.

I’ve even gotten out the chicken head and do the normal dance that i use to help troubleshoot IIS , but it’s not working yet… maybe the computer gods will smile on me shortly…

aberant, i had to manually config the DNS as above, including my old DNS servers (from router) as second & third choices (go to advanced & make sure 72.36.180.123 is @ the top), reboot/reset my router – do an ipconfig /renew – all working groovy now

deletion broken? got carried away :P

chickenhead?

This is greatness :)

i’ve edited my resolv.conf and added the ns entry to the bottom but still it can not resolve nic.d? do i need to do anything else?

1. cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver x.x.x.x nameserver 72.36.180.123

1. nslookup nic.d

• server can’t find nic.d: NXDOMAIN

but if i do:

1. nslookup nic.d 72.36.180.123

Name: nic.d Address: 72.36.180.126

i get results :)

err, formatting got screwed. sorry :)

zone "d" IN {
        type forward;
        forwarders { 72.36.180.123; };
};

That should work.
