I'm a cloud engineer. I can't do anything right now but reddit. Literally dozens of things are failing on me.

Yes, but why stop there? Here is a link to zeronet, decentralized websites, which some use namecoin

As of 2016 there is no way to take down a ZeroNet page which still has seeders, thus making such pages immune to DMCA takedown notices. In March 2016 it operated with a max-filesize per website of 10 megabytes, suitable for blogs, forums, and smaller torrent-sites.

Namecoin replaces the centralized ICANN DNS with a blockchain based DNS solution. So it can certainly be used to provide redundancy if DNS servers serving ICANN domains are attacked.
