Notice any uptick in "A future solar flare could wipe out the entire internet" stories lately? I've seen them from multiple publications and even some of those informative youtube channels have put out videos on the subject. Is this setting the cover for a global coordinated take down of the internet? Will it coincide with the implementation of a global government? What better way to stop the spread of info than to get rid of internet communications...

It is technically impossible. Iternet is mostly fiber optics absolutely redundant to the solar frares and datacenters inside steel closets in concrete bulding with steel reinforcements. No solar flare could "wipe" "all internet". Especially taking in mind that solar flare influences on only sunny half of planet.
So only government could "wipe out internet". And it should be done in every country.
However, turning off the internet will ruin all that dumb coronahoax social distancing, surveillance systems build for coronahoax tracking, will made databases with covidpass unavailable, etc. I.e. wiping internet it also wipe out nearly everything they build using coronahoax as excuse. I doubt they will do it.
In Russia, during lockdowns, internet provider employees suddenly become higher caste, without any lockdown restrictions. Ministry of communication issued a special order with carte blanche for them to keep internet working at any cost.
So, only authorities could "wipe internet out", but they inevitable wipe out all coronahoax shit along with internet. :)
It's absolutely possible. It's a matter of scale.
Watch this.
It is impossible, because to shut down internet you need to shut down every IX in the world, not only Google, Facebook and Amazon in US.
To break the shielding of every single IX you need so much energy, that nobody will left on the Earth to be able to tell is internet is down or not. Even if somebody survive, the question of internet will be the least important thing they will care of.
And it definitely could not be solar flare. If solar flare could break your IX or datacenter, this just means that you, or your managers just stole a lot of money.
When the electric goes your internet goes.on the plus side you may die in the riots before you starve.
Do you ever see any datacenter or IX? Even simple internet provider node usually have not only UPS for half a day, but also a diesel-generators.
So, internet will still work for some time even if all power plants will be off-line. However nobody will care about internet in case of planetary blackout.
You are completely wrong. You need DNS just to quickly find IP address of, say, google or facebook. You don't need DNS for tox, torrents, zeronet and nearly everything else. WWW is only part of internet. And not the best one. And even for WWW you could use local DNS cache, a mirror of root DNS servers, or even a necessary records in your /etc/hosts
Could not understand where you find a problem. In any case you connect to the IP address, not to the name. Domain name is sent in headers of HTTP request over the established connection. You could form request by yourself, or just add a line with IP and domain name of interest to /etc/hosts. That's all.
They are perfectly accessible by IP address, just because it is the only way to access them.
