For the self-hosters among us, here is a guide to setting up your own recursive DNS server, along with PiHole:

Now I just need a guide on how to actually buy a Raspberry Pi. They've been "sold out" for 3 years.

There are these things called authorative dns servers which if they no longer serve your domain due to being silenced then my self hosted recursive unbound setup won’t help anything.
Aside from that, this isn’t about relying on other systems. That’s literally the Internet. It’s distributed. It’s open. That’s why it runs on 13 root dns servers. This is about large players who control and manipulate vast amounts of users and traffic, forming a cartel to push their business interests in the name of more profits. Remember when ISPs wanted to strong arm Netflix for more money or cripple their bandwidth, effectively making their service so slow nobody would buy it? The tubes of the internet should be that, dumb, open, tubes. Anything else is no long an open internet. I fear we’re well past that now.

I run an authoritative server on the LAN that serves a custom root.zone. No need to use remote root servers. I get DNS data from a variety of sources, bulk recursive queries (pipelined over HTTPS/1.1) is only one of them. ICANN's DNS racket is as corrupt as any "cartel" of "large players". Why support it by renting "domain names".

Maybe stop relying on third party DNS 24/7.
Most web users visit the same sites over and over, several times per month or even per week.
Few of these sites are changing their IP addresses with the same frequency. Some will go years without a change in address.
Yet people keep looking up the addresses every single day if not more frequently.
Google censors all the time. Search results are manipuated in ways that are optimised for advertising, not accesibility of information. Perhaps it's subtle enough that people do not notice. Popularity is not necessarily a proxy for truth. But for a so-called "tech" company, popularity is almost always the most important metric. Because advertising.
