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.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, only 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:ffff:2e04:fe90. Simple!

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

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

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.

[–] aeshna_cyanea@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

yep literally this. don't most routers nowadays have a dns server with a hosts file you can edit?

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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!
