gollark: osmarks.net DNS is also cryptographically signed which is pretty neat, but again I don't know of much software which checks DNSSEC.
gollark: An evil one can just not do that.
gollark: There's that DNS CAA thing which I might set up on osmarks.net; this is somewhat more secure, since in theory only CAs I specify are allowed to issue certificates for it. However, clients (i.e. browsers) are forbidden from verifying it by the relevant standards for some reason, and CAs are just *meant to* check.
gollark: Except you *can't*, because then half the web will break.
gollark: It's done by centralized authorities, and they can also just arbitrarily delegate out that cert-making power.
