    I mean… OK then just remember the IP addresses of the sites you use and don’t use the domain names?

      That will be a problem for sites that are all hosted on one IP address where the server figures out what site you want by the client’s request string.

        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.

          I’m still salty that IPv6 is not 6 octets. Six. It’s right there in the name. IPv4 is 4 octets!

          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.

        30 years ago we had to remember phone numbers, now ip addresses. We are going in circles.
