Imagine typing long strings of numbers just to visit a website. That’s what the internet would feel like without DNS 🤯 In our latest #TkkBits, we break down how DNS gets you to the right website without you ever needing to know an IP address.

@hetzner@mastodon.hetzner.social I think we should get rid of DNS entirely and all revert to using local hosts files. ;-P Kidding!! But it would bring back that "elite", "special group" feeling we used to get back in the day. I miss that feeling. Things got a lot worse when we started letting every Tom, Dick, and Harry use the Internet... Still kidding!! Or am I? ;-)

@hetzner@mastodon.hetzner.social Imagine a fascist state having effective control over the DNS system. Long strings of numbers FTW. 😄
