So the health service did not get worse but there are now more elderly which have an effect…
And this does not result in the health service having lower quality for the individual?
This is a very funky way to frame this.

IIUC this is also true of most 3D-print materials. You should not be using Gridfinity to store food! This is also why you usually shouldn't 3D print a dildo.
This would be true even if the materials were food safe to be honest, I don't see how you can keep something like this clean.
It's for storing stuff like capacitors and screws and electrical tape.
context: 3D-print material like PLA is food safe, but due to the many edges and lines between the print layers it is basically impossible to clean to a food safe degree.

I don't know the finer details of this project that's being launched, but if I'm setting up a global DNS server, I want to make sure it stays up all the time, it's kind of the point.
It's not a project that "We will scale when we reach out limit". So I imagine there's a significant initial payment.
I never said that 1M EUR is too much.
And yeh you are right, you want a global DNS server to be global.
Nonetheless Cloudflare has more POPs of their DNS server as this project and a lot lot more traffic as this project just starts.
So i think that the comparison is not useful at all.
An better question is why they did not take more money and build an alternative to the root servers on top of it, or a super low cost registrar (for self cost like CF).
I would absolutely love too see more from this project and less of bad comparisons that are knee jerk comparisons.

> Does this service has the same user count as (Google DNS)? If not then why should this be relevant?
Service offered by an American company: cool and important
Service offered by literally anyone else: "why is this relevant!?!?"
I did not write this? i think this project is cool.
My point is that the cost of a well established DNS server that has POPs everywhere and maybe billions of users, is not comparable to a new project.
Or in other words, i think the comparison is not useful.

> 1. Does it really take you a million Euros to set up a DNS server?
Maybe ask Cloudflare how much 1.1.1.1 costs them?
> 2. you get the impression that the designers took great care to obfuscate the actual product as much as possible
I don't see that being limited to "EU-funded software project". It seems like nobody has a clue how to make landing pages anymore.
That said: https://www.joindns4.eu/about
first Q, first sentence of A:
> What is DNS4EU?
> DNS4EU is an initiative by the European Commission that aims to offer an alternative to the public DNS resolvers currently dominating the market.
Does this service has the same user count as 1.1.1.1? If not then why should this be relevant?
The commits are revealing.
Look at this one:
> Ask Claude to remove the "backup" encryption key. Clearly it is still important to security-review Claude's code!
> prompt: I noticed you are storing a "backup" of the encryption key as `encryptionKeyJwk`. Doesn't this backup defeat the end-to-end encryption, because the key is available in the grant record without needing any token to unwrap it?
I don’t think a non-expert would even know what this means, let alone spot the issue and direct the model to fix it.
Revealing against what?
If you look at the README it is completely revealed... so i would argue there is nothing to "reveal" in the first place.
> I started this project on a lark, fully expecting the AI to produce terrible code for me to laugh at. And then, uh... the code actually looked pretty good. Not perfect, but I just told the AI to fix things, and it did. I was shocked.
> To emphasize, this is not "vibe coded". Every line was thoroughly reviewed and cross-referenced with relevant RFCs, by security experts with previous experience with those RFCs.

In some European countries, if you apply to rent an apartment, the landlord can see you failed to pay 1 month rent several years ago.
That's just a tiny example.
Is this control and surveillance or ... democracy and freedom ?
Comparing agents that will go into your home and move things around to drive you crazy and directly torturing you, with a debt registers is not a comparison I see as successful.
And without the web there is no new datasets for AI so it’ll grind to a halt.
There are no „disguised ads“ allowed in Germany at all.
