If you use the fediverse, you know that the main bot-hosting instance, "botsin.space", closed recently. I document here one or two wthings about the new hosting of two bots I maintain, one answering BGP requests and one for DNS information.

I created a bot to answer DNS queries over the fediverse (decentralized social network, best known implementation being Mastodon). What for? Well, mostly for the fun, a bit to learn about Mastodon bots, and a bit because, in these times of censorship, filtering, lying DNS resolvers and so on, offering to the users a way to make DNS requests to the outside can be useful. This article is to document this project.
