reminder to set up your own dns resolver if you can (e.g. unbound)
the first lookup of a host name can be a bit slower with a recursive resolver like that, but it’s more trustworthy and reliable than your ISP’s, cloudflare, quad9, google etc.
if you’re not running e.g. openwrt on your router or have a pi-hole setup (those have their own guides), but you’re using linux, you can probably just install unbound and enable+start the system service, then put 127.0.0.1 in /etc/resolv.conf (or networkmanager connection settings, or whatever else you’re using).
at least on opensuse, no further configuration is required for most setups.
i bring this up because somebody mentioned 0x0.st timing out for the last few days, which was fixed by going to 1.1.1.1/purge-cache and purging all 0x0.st records (which haven’t actually changed in over a year)
