It's almost the 40th anniversary of RFC 882. Back when the Domain Name System was being invented as the replacement for everyone sharing hosts files, I wonder whether anyone expected that 40 years later there'd be a shared hosts file with its own copyright licence, Docker file, and code of conduct. Interestingly, from what I remember of the April Fools columns of electronics magazines of the time, one thing that people would not have been surprised by is that the purpose was zapping advertisements. * https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Electronics-Today-UK/80s/Electronics-Today-1986-04.pdf#page=26 https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Electronics-Today-UK/80s/El...
