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.
