My provider's DNS sucks. I used to use OpenNIC for a while, but it was unreliable (though more reliable than Spectrum). I'm curious to know what you guys at pointing at for name resolution.

I hate to say it, but the entirety of the DNS system is compromised. Either open your rectum to Verizon and AT&T or open your rectum to Google and Cloudflare.

There are actually several smaller companies out there that offer public DNS services and claim to be completely unrestricted and unlogged. My favorite is this one: https://freedns.zone/en/

Also, it is not really a big trick to run your own nameserver software and eliminate the third party. If you are running linux or mac, you can install easily. If you are running windows, there is (although for Windows you will have to run an older version). Then you just point your DNS to localhost 127.0.0.1
