Because you're just saving the index.html file instead of recursively saving every resource the html file links to (css, js, images). Also, you're just saving the initial html file, but if the webpage is built client-side with JS then you won't have those DOM changes since they're not a part of the original html file.

How do I get a DNS list of all hostnames on the Internet?

I'm using Linux and want to do this somewhat simple task. Let's say I'm pretending to be a DNS server. How would I get this? Or even just some portion of it, lets say everything that starts with "p" like p.com, pp.net, ppp.org, etc. Do I download some DNS database? Maybe something from NextDNS or whatever service which isn't ISP/computer-default DNS or Google DNS or C1oudflre DNS?

>>106555649
Stability is just a byword for missing features and bug fixes.
With a rolling release you get all of the latest features and bug fixes before anyone else where as on a fixed release you have to wait for somebody to backport them.

Fixed release desktop distros are a trap. You think you want a fixed release but you don't. What you actually want is something that is always improving and getting better but with snapshots that you can rollback to when something breaks.

>Then how do trusted DNS servers around the world get the list or a large section of it?
That's a misunderstanding on your part of how DNS actually works. It is pull not push. I suggest you read up on how it works but the TLDR is something like this:

>I want to know how to lookup example.com
>Query the root nameservers (

dig . ANY

>Query one of these nameservers for the .com nameserver (

dig com NS

)
>Query the .com nameserver for the example.com nameserver (

dig example.com NS

)
>This name server is hosted at a.iana-servers.net. and b.iana-servers.net.
>Now we have to go lookup .net and iana-servers.net and b.iana-servers.net.
>Now we can actually ask that nameserver about example.com

And that's how DNS works.
If you have the bind-utils installed you can see this in action with

dig +trace example.com

>>106555937

>>106556038
I put this prompt into duck.ai:
>"There's no public list of every domain on the Internet." Then how do trusted DNS servers around the world get the list or a large section of it?
and it had an ok response.

Your response was helpful. I didn't know about "dig +trace example.com". I also ran this:
>dig . ANY
>;; communications error to 127.0.0.53#53: timed out
and
>dig com NS
>...com. ... b.gtld-servers.net.
>...com. ... f.gtld-servers.net.
>...com. ... g.gtld-servers.net.
and
>dig example.com NS
>...example.com. ... b.iana-servers.net.
>example.com. ... a.iana-servers.net.
>\ ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
>a.iana-servers.net. ... A 199.43.135.53
>a.iana-servers.net. ... AAAA 2001:500:8f::53
>b.iana-servers.net. ... A 199.43.133.53
>b.iana-servers.net. ... AAAA 2001:500:8d::53

Interesting. Also here's some of what chatgpt said:
>When a domain is registered, the registrar updates the authoritative DNS servers with the domain's information, including its DNS records. This information is publicly accessible through WHOIS databases, which provide details about registered domains, including the domain name, registrar, registration dates, and contact information.
>Zone transfers (AXFR) allow DNS servers to replicate the DNS records of a domain from an authoritative server. typically used for backup and redundancy but can also be used by secondary DNS servers to obtain the latest records for a domain.
>However, zone transfers are usually restricted to authorized servers to prevent unauthorized access
>Recursive DNS resolvers (like those provided by ISPs or public DNS services) perform queries on behalf of clients. They start from the root servers and work their way down the hierarchy, caching results along the way. means they can build a substantial cache of domain names and their corresponding IP addresses over time
>Some public DNS services [=caching]
>Data Aggregation Services...
>no single DNS server or organization has a complete and up-to-date list of all domains

>>106556109
This is correct.

Hopefully you can see by this example why there is no single list of every possible hostname that could ever possibly exist on the Internet. DNS is hierarchical so the root nameservers know about TLDs like .com and .net, .com knows about domains registered with it like example.com but it only knows the nameserver that was registered with it, you then have to go and ask that nameserver (which is authoritative) about hostnames like www.example.com or shop.example.com, etc.

hello i am sending this from a linux mint bootable usb drive :)

>>106556137
Make it a Fedora or CachyOS bootable drive instead

>>106556116
Running "dig +trace example.com" did show this as the first hop/node
>. ... a.root-servers.net.
>. ... d.root-servers.net.
>. ... g.root-servers.net.

And as you said, those root DNS servers know about all the top-level domains' DNS servers. The TLD DNSs know about the hostnames which are actual websites, like archive.is, ppp.org, nevergoon.shop, etc. Subdomains are up to the websites, so no DNS there, I think. Subdomains like logs.ppp.org and so on. So at each level the DNS only stores what's in its purview. Also, I think there's a bunch of DNS servers for .com, .net, and other TLDs. Some .com DNS servers know about example.com and others don't. The ones that don't tell you about other .com DNSs which may know about example.com's IP address.

>gets you stability
Not in the way it matters.
It's "stable" as in "the software APIs don't change", which is great of servers and many developers because you have to refactor and redeploy only once every 2-7 years, compared to having to do it at an unknown interval. Maintenance of your own software is cheaper on LTS systems, at least in short term.
BUT, it's not "stable" as in "there will be less bugs/crashes compared to rolling or semi-rolling release". Most bug fixes aren't backported unless it's some critical system utility causing crashes or regressions. Imagine you're using some desktop environment (or anything else), and the version that Ubuntu decided to freeze it at has some annoying bug. You're going to have to live with that bug for the next 2 years, compared to 0-6 months like you would on a non-LTS distro. Almost no developers out there are maintaining an arbitrary old version of their software. If you want bug fixes (actual stability), you're supposed to use the latest version. And if you prefer using an older version of something, you're supposed to manually pin that package or never update your appimage/flatpak or whatever else you use.

As for what annoys people, there's plenty of things Canonical did in the past which people disliked. For example, their application menu's search displayed Amazon ads (based on what you type, iirc) around 2012-2014.
Also, many people just hate GNOME and most people prefer either rolling release or 6-month release distros.

>>106556213
>So at each level the DNS only stores what's in its purview.
The genius thing about this is you can have different nameservers for different hostnames and effectively rent out part of your domain to someone else and allow them to manage it independently, so say you own example.com and you want to give your friend Bob his own domain at www.bobswebsite.co.example.com you can have your own .co.example.com nameserver and Bob can run his own authoritative DNS resolver to manage it.

This is how TLDs like .co.uk, etc, might conceivably work with .UK having a completely different nameserver to .CO.UK.

>>106555222
Go back, please zoom zoom.

>>106556353
I was never there to begin with.

>>106556305
So DNS servers do have records of hostnames/subdomains. Therefore, one nameserver (NS) would have
>www.bobswebsite.co.example.com
and another NS would have
>www.your-own.co.example.com
They would point to different IP addresses (Bob's and your own). Only the owner of example.com can register subdomains to DNS like that. So that's a case of giving out a site for free and you can run whatever service in there like Apache, nginx, etc. (Still gotta enable port forwarding though.) I wish there was some clearweb site that would allow me to do that for free: total control over the subdomain as if it was my own localhost:8080. I am running a .onion site (was running multiple ones). And you can reach me on IPFS at k51qz[...].ipns.dweb.link (or replace dweb.link with whatever gateway site), but neither of those are ideal. I have enough ETH to buy some .eth domain and as I understand you can point that to ipfs://, ipns://, or .onion (all of those don't require port forwarding), so that 5 USD/year is worth trying that to see if it works I guess.

>This is how TLDs like .co.uk, etc, might conceivably work with .UK having a completely different nameserver to .CO.UK.
Those TLDs which are /\.[a-z][a-z]\.[a-z][a-z]/ (regex). Not sure exactly what you mean here. Isn't there already [non-co].uk? Or if [non-co].uk could be registered by any one?

I meant they could be run/managed by different people. It just so happens in this case it's the same people running it though.

^5 USD/year is how much a .eth domain cost

You're being very y disingenuous here. That is done very deliberately to preserve the decades of backwards compatibility targeting that very specific old version of Ubuntu that native games used.

>>106557512

That's pretty normal. You're compressing all those files. I think zip's compression method also isnt really efficient.

>>106557512
Higher compression rates require more time. If you have a file that's 4GB you'd usually have a compression time of 1-30 minutes, depending on your CPU, which compression rate you've selected and the speed of your internal storage.

>>106557578 forgot to add, considering your file is 7GB it's possible that it would take up to an hour, depending on your machine and compression ratio.

It's possible that your shell is crashing before cleaning up the tmp files.

In any case, try checking out the Bash documentation and see if there's something you should change/remove from your default .bash_profile or .bashrc, since that's where this would be configured. Mine were completely empty by default and I'm not getting these tmp files at all. So I assume there must be some variable set on your distro's .bash_profile or .bashrc which controls this.

the only real downsides is that Openbox-like stepped/modal/nested keybinds are in discussion but officially "out-of-scope", there is no pretty all-windows explode like Wayfire's "Scope"/GNOME's "Overview", and you can't burn resources on making windows (even just terminals) semi-transparent
also tried Wayfire, but you'd be at editing source to get the same level of custom [grid] and tiling on [move] plugins

They have security patches that they are witholding from users unless you pay for Pro.
Ubuntu is a popular distro for servers and containers, so they are making the whole Internet less secure and holding it hostage.
Not even Microsoft does this, they still provide security updates even if you pirated Windows.

I'm thinking of buying a laptop with either no OS on it or some Linux disto and converting it to Arch. I want a GPU though and a cursory search didn't turn up something like that. Does anyone have any recommendations?
I know I could buy a windows machine and just uninstall windows but I don't want to indirectly pay for a windows license just to wipe it.

Is it possible to force APT to use https while on Mint distro? I had set sources to https but its still using http for some packages.
>>106555649
>Aside from snap what is it with Ubuntu that annoys people?
This aligns with my question. Don't understand why the devs would still be using http for something as critical as repositories.

>>106559053
What's wrong with http? You are using it to pull cryptographically signed packages

isn't this only if you're using the LTS version beyond it's intended support date?

>>106559013
>I don't want to indirectly pay for a windows license
Well, you'd be paying for it directly. All laptops that I've seen which come with Windows cost $80-$100 more compared to the same laptop without an OS or with Linux.
>any recommendations
Just pick whatever has an AMD GPU and CPU. Everything else like the screen, keyboard, battery size, etc. is completely up to your preferences.

Is there a commonly used simple way to benchmark a computer?
I don't care if it's not very scientific, this is just for fun. I don't want to autize with 100 different benchmarks like with geekbench. I just want a dead simple tool that gives a number (or two numbers, single thread and multithreaded)

>>106559092
>sn't this only if you're using the LTS version beyond it's intended support date?
No

>Brave crashes every time I open a folder with more than 20 bookmarks after the last update
It's fine if the folder only has 17 or fewer bookmarks. Going through the "bookmarks and lists" from the settings drop down menu and accessing the folder works without crashing. Only trying to open a folder with a lot of bookmarks directly from the bookmark bar causes crashes. Restarting the computer didn't help. Anything I can do about this?

Time to compile the Linux kernel in seconds using the default defconfig is a fun benchmark, albeit not a very scientific one.

You can compare building with all cores and a single core.

Which other distro provides 12 years of support for VLC, dumbass?

>>106559092
>isn't this only if you're using the LTS version beyond it's intended support date?
For packages in Main, yes. But packages in Universe were never covered by Ubuntu support, those are at the discretion of their maintainers and upstream to provide support.
So the retard is complaining that VLC, which is in Universe, doesn't get additional security patches for free from Canonical beyond what the upstream developers are willing to offer.

>>106559718
>Which other distro provides 12 years of support for VLC
like, any distro that existed for 12 years. Most just do regular updates to achieve this. Ubuntu protecting their users from evil version upgrades is their own damn stupid choice.

>>106559587
That wasn't the point of the experiment though.

>>106559090
>What's wrong with http? You are using it to pull cryptographically signed packages
Data sent through http is in plaintext, right? Was just asking if it is possible to enforce APT to use https for all data transfers or if it's not possible.

>>106559810
Sure but the data itself (deb packages) is encrypted and signed

>>106558908
>Not even Microsoft does this
Yes they do retard. People running Home don't get IoT updates, and they have all kinds of bizarre extended support hoops the vast majority of people still using 10 don't know about.

Here's another mystic secret: You can just install the latest version from upstream. You don't have a vendor support agreement. You're only bound by your own stupidity.

>>106559718
>Which other distro provides 12 years of support for VLC, dumbass?
A distro shouldn't be in charge of distributing their own versions of 3rd party software. VLC themselves recommend to use Snap on Ubuntu, which I assume is being kept updated constantly unlike whatever Canonical has in their apt repo. While anyone else should use Flatpak.

>>106559893
>A distro shouldn't be in charge of distributing their own versions of 3rd party software.
Spicy take. Which distribution would you recommend that doesn't distribute their own versions of 3rd party software?

>>106559956
Literally any distro if all you use are Snaps, Flatpaks and Appimages. Clearly I'm talking about software that's unrelated to the underlying system and whatever DE a distro ships with. A media player has absolutely no reason to be maintained by a distro unless the actual distro is behind it. And last time I checked, Canonical aren't the ones making VLC despite both their logos being orange.

ok so now in theory, I should be
OK by installing again from the live OS and again select everything to wip/relcaim space right?
or is there anything I should left untouched, maybe the recovery partition, dunno if that's windows or an actual HP thing that the latop NEEDS, maybe, Idont want to go trhough another 4-6 hours of reinstalling to factorydefault
but I want that whole HDD space since im stuck wth 600~gb for now and no point in keeping that windows 8.1 installed

>>106560125
>fedora media writer

Bro, in future just use Etcher like everyone else. It just works.
>maybe the recovery partition
A recovery partition is related to your Windows install, I believe. If you're planning on completely removing Windows from your drive then there's no point in keeping it.

>>106560193
So I can safely just select delete everything,again?

The same technically applies to the repos of all distros, since it's not managed by VLC devs.

>[bcachefs is] something only brave adventurous users should use and no distro has made it default yet
Thinking of use cases. If someone's interested, they could use it as an excuse to make their data redundant. Like "I have this data in one HDD of whatever usual fs and I have that same data also in this other HDD which uses bcachefs".

Anything on Linux that can emulate DOS games, has reasonable UI and features like save states?

>>106561674

>>106561810
Does it have save states?

>>106561843
DOSBox-X has save states:
https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.dosbox_x.DOSBox-X

Ignore the fact that flathub lists it as unverified, the official website literally lists the flatpak as the primary Linux package:
https://dosbox-x.com/

>>106561065
Yeah, but who is managing the Flatpak?

>>106561892
I am. And I added 20 different backdoors to it. Most of them trigger only when you use the save state function because saving games where it's unintended to do so is cheating.

>>106561343
it doesn't install network manager for you why don't you install arch first they will walk you through actually setting the OS up for yourself.

how does QEMU/KVM handle multiple drives?
say I'm intending to passthrough an existing Win10 drive for the first time plus 3 SATA and 2 SAS on a HBA, will Windows sort them out if I just present them all to the VM, or will I have to manually assign letters/IDs before firing it up?

So I've been installing stuff on Linux and testing stuff I couldn't being stuck on windows 8.1
