> Today we can announce more steps forward - our Encrypted DNS service has also been converted to run from RAM!

Where exactly do services run from if not RAM? The post is very plain with no explanation of what "running from RAM" means. When you execute any binary it gets loaded into RAM as per standard operating system procedures...?

They mean diskless. There's no persistent storage attached to the machines that run the DNS servers, because the entire operating system is loaded into RAM directly from PXE boot. So, if the hardware ever gets seized by law enforcement or rogue actors, there is no risk of exfiltration of private user data.
