Celebrating 15 Years of UncensoredDNS

by Tykling @ October 23, 2024 11:59

TL;DR: It has almost been 15 years since I started UncensoredDNS. That calls for a celebration! See you at Bubbles Bar, Århusgade 14, 2100 Copenhagen on November 15th from 20:00 :) You can also join for food at Royal Cuisine on Østerbro, Copenhagen. Expect to pay for your own food and drinks, and please let me know if you are coming :)

On November 15th 2009 I registered the domain censurfridns.dk so that date is the official birthday of the project.

Friday the 15th of November 2024 marks 15 years since that day. Crazy to think how much the Internet has changed in that time. One thing that hasn't changed though is the need for trustworthy, small, independent recursive DNS servers. I'm up for 15 more years, NIS2 and other circumstances permitting :)

There is lots to talk about and lots to celebrate. I've booked tables for dining and drinking on November 15th 2024, where I hope people feel like joining the celebration.

Please let me know if you plan to show up so I know how many people to book for. I can be reached on email admin@censurfridns.dk or on mastodon, signal, IRC etc.
