bug#47823: Hardenize Guix website TLS/DNS

If the server configured DNSSEC in a bad way then for surely it wont work and thats what happened with gnu.org if you read this ticket:

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/9867

This ticket show clearly that the operators of gnu.org didnt fix their bad DNSSEC configuration despite being pointed out to them.

e.g This domain use DNSSEC where is the problem connecting to it?


Julien Lepiller:
No, resolved is on the client side. This means that they managed to set up 
dnssec, but some clients who use systemd (most Linux users) can't connect to 
gnu.org domains anymore. I don't think this is acceptable :)

Then dont use systemd to do that. There many other methods/tools to
achieve having it.

Thanks!

- DNS: DNSSEC support missing (important)

Hm, is it important? My impression is that it's an idea whose time
has
passed without significant adoption.

But maybe we could enable it if the costs are not too great.

gnu.org does not have dnssec, so we'd need them to work on that
first.

gnu.org used to have DNSSEC, but disabled it because it gave NXDOMAIN
on machines with systemd-resolved:
