Thank you Computer literate nerds
Power went out last night, oh so quiet and dull! Anon did something unusual and went to bed before dawn. For some reason I've been dragging and got really good rest. I boot up and come to kun (per usual) and NADA. "Connection failed"
However: Non computer geek, skills faded long ago and I kept all those comments about DNS fookery, going back to February or so. It took some tries (several- I am really stupid) but look! I successfully edited my HOSTS file after checking

to make sure I wasn't making up numbers and IT WORKED.
Thank you thank you thank you frens. I appreciate you.
