That DΔrn Pooka :verified_think:
Remember when AOL just went "f*ck standardized DNS" and came up with the "AOL keyword" system?

@TheQuQu@shitposter.club I kinda miss it. It was a very iconic part of AOL's network as a kid.

@TheQuQu@shitposter.club Come to think of it, they fell out of usage not that long before Geocities died and the Web started getting aggressively consolidated under then-new social networks.

@Eris@kiwifarms.cc @TheQuQu@shitposter.club Even if AOL Keywords are gone, "poa.st" is easier and more consistent to remember than 147.124.221.247, and I'm a numbers guy. I'm sure we'll see most of the big problems with DNS as we know it mitigated this decade.

[email protected] @Eris@kiwifarms.cc @TheQuQu@shitposter.club [email protected] Use of the hosts file is also faster and probably more secure, since each domain listed locally means one less transaction with a DNS provider. The key issue is, as you said, that it only works well with static addresses. I don't recall if systems have contingencies for "bad" hosts entries, which could mean trouble for an outdated file. I should get around to writing up some hosts amendments, since all I have are ad-jamming redirects.

Being homeless would be a lot more appealing if there were still psych wards to house the crazy ones. @MechaSilvio@poa.st @Eris@kiwifarms.cc @OrangeBomb@poa.st @TheQuQu@shitposter.club [email protected] [email protected]

A schizo? You should make a gab account. You'll feel more comfortable over there. @Eris@kiwifarms.cc @MechaSilvio@poa.st @OrangeBomb@poa.st @TheQuQu@shitposter.club [email protected] [email protected]
