down a rabbithole

So I was reading comments on a video by Styxhexenhammer666 when I found an argument between a couple of techies.
Ancap Zombie said this 10 months ago:
Centralized domain registrars aren't even necessary for the internet. Alternative protocols like DHT are becoming more common, especially with torrenting. It basically turns everybody into their own automated domain registrar.
so after searching for the terms in his comment, I found this:

https://www.howtogeek.com/141257/htg-explains-how-does-bittorrent-work/
https://unhosted.org/book/
https://redecentralize.org/

also, whilst composing this entry, I noticed that I can make links by clicking the button above, or by going into the HTML and doing "a href". have to go in to add target blank anyway. but the link tool also has different ways of doing things it seems...Use rel="nofollow" for specific links

I much prefer editing these entries in HTML as it's now what I want to blog about here, my journey into learning to code.

so, on to what I found at Unhosted:
unhosted web apps: freedom from web 2.0's monopoly platforms
1. Personal servers and unhosted web apps

I had been looking into internet & web structure over the past few months, saving much of what I found on wikipedia. that's its own rabbithole.
