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.

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.

At least they stopped dumping the yellow pages on my porch every year…
Your perspective makes you believe we’re going in circles. In actuality, we’re going down the drain…
