    Hi all,

    I wanted to build something small over the weekend so I wrote Wikimark, a social bookmarking website powered by Wikidata.

    You might remember DNS over Wikipedia[0]: it's a browser extension that uses Wikipedia to find the latest URL of a given website and redirects you there. Wikimark is similar. You give it a name that the website is commonly known as (e.g., "academic-torrents"), and it finds and redirects you to the latest URL of that website. The difference is, you don't need to install anything at all to use Wikimark and it still runs in your browser.

    Try it:

    https://academic-torrents.wikimark.net

    I'll be around to answer your questions!

    For the biggest pioneers, there is also a variant to build your own GeoDNS service with your own name servers. But for this to make sense and real value, anycast IP addresses would be needed. Also a number of other reliable servers around the world with DDoS protection and then understand, select and adapt eg EdgeDNS or Czech Knot DNS (which also uses Cloudflare). However, commercial GeoDNS services are relatively cheap and reliable, so we can’t imagine an ROI that would make sense with our own small, non-commercial DNS solution.
