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!
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
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.
