Slightly related to the issue of remembering addresses, I think the main issue is with the fact that local nameservers are pretty much non-existent if you're not running OpenWrt or OpnSense. Which is shameful because the local nameserver is an amazing quality of life tool.

Also the fact that officially there are no local TLDs except for ".arpa" while browsers won't resolve one word domains without adding http://

And don't get me started on TLS certificates in local networks... (although dns01 saves the day)

I don't get why '.local' isn't a top level domain for LAN hosts.

.local is already used by mDNS

Ah, that makes sense. I just knew it was unavailable. Apparently .lan is fine to use, I think I'll try that next time.
