Hey HN,
I saw a thread a while ago (linked in README) discussing how Wikipedia does a good job keeping track of the domains of websites like Sci-Hub or The Pirate Bay. Someone mentioned checking Wikipedia to find links to these sites, so I thought this would be a fun thing to automate!
To try it out, install an extension or modify your hosts file, then type in the name of a website with the TLD `.idk`.
For example: scihub.idk -> sci-hub.tw
Cheers!
If an analogy was needed with a network service perhaps this is more like a proxy redirector than DNS.
Keep in mind: with this you will still be misdirected if your DNS/hosts file is pointing the name into a different IP than it should be.
