Just add the following line to your host file and add an override to your DNS:
Problem solved, this is how we did it in 1985.

Found their missing admin!
lol at the idea of just running the site off their laptop or something for all these years. Any time the site went down it was just them closing the lid.
This won’t work in the fediverse. Sure you’ll be able to reach hexbear but no fediverse server would be able to federate content into it.
no problem.
Is Hexbear even federated with anything?
You’re on one of the many instances Hexbear is federated with. It’s more that a few of the larger instances like .world are defederated.
I don’t see much Hexbear floating by here.
They show up on Lemmy.ml if someone federated with Hexbear posts there, as an example.
The instance that I’m on for example.
federation isn’t working for hexbear currently due to them loosing the domain
Ps. I was born in 1989. Lol
so that IP resolves to https://chapo.chat/ but it uses the Hexbear.net’s resources?oh now I understand…
yes that is the mirror hostname basically (they already had in the past as well).
But I’m now for example able to just visit: https://hexbear.net/communities. And yes I do believe we just reach the same server actually (more or less, maybe kept in sync manually).
I’ve done that as late as the 2010’s, but I am old timey
