ok, hit me up with alternatives to DNS.
i very much like the technical beauty of DNS being a distributed database but it's "an elegant system for a more civilized age". times are dire and require appropriate solutions.
@bonifartius IMHO, no need for one; similar to how phone numbers are handled by people. There is no decentralized public database for whom phone numbers belong. You need to save a growing, dynamic list of IP addresses with the website's name, to text files, like how we keep contacts saved in a list in a mobile app.

i'm not going to do that xD
@Pixificial ips change more often than telephone numbers ;)
@bonifartius True. But then the problem seems to be that, and domain names are a duct tape solution... I am not entirely sure but something in the stack is surely wrong.

Convenient services and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
Seriously though, you're already doing that for mobile phones. Why not websites? :P I don't think you memorized more than 100 websites' domain names either, so what I meant was, why not just bookmark IP addresses?
