quite vocal about how the world should be organized, but forgot to pay the domain dues
DNS is neoliberalism incarnate π
I mean... OK then just remember the IP addresses of the sites you use and don't use the domain names?
You do have a point there NaibofTabr@46.4.254.144
See? If you don't like DNS, you don't have to use DNS, it's not so hard.
And IPv6 won't be that much harder, it's only... uh... 32 hex digits you'll have to remember, for each website. No big deal.
Yes, only 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:ffff:2e04:fe90. Simple!
Well, then someone would just create a directory that associates each ipv6 with the name of the company using it, so you can search for the easy to remember, human readable name which automa-
Oh I see what happened here.
Did you know we have these things called computer files that can store information. There's even one in your router specifically for storing IP addresses
Ahh! The files are in the router!l
Queue jumping up and down like a monkey trying to rip apart my router in order to reach a website
Ah, you're right, I should just look up IP addresses in my NAT table. Maybe I should add comments to it so I know which IP is which.
yep literally this. don't most routers nowadays have a dns server with a hosts file you can edit?
No no no, see, DNS is bad, that's the whole point. No touchy.
Can't have any of that neoliberal stuff, gotta delete the hosts file.
I'm still salty that IPv6 is not 6 octets. Six. It's right there in the name. IPv4 is 4 octets!
30 years ago we had to remember phone numbers, now ip addresses. We are going in circles.
Your perspective makes you believe we're going in circles. In actuality, we're going down the drain...
At least they stopped dumping the yellow pages on my porch every year...
