Hosts File

The computer file hosts is an operating system file that maps hostnames to IP addresses. It is a plain text file. Originally a file named HOSTS.TXT was manually maintained and made available via file sharing by Stanford Research Institute for the ARPANET membership, containing the hostnames and address of hosts as contributed for inclusion by member organizations. The Domain Name System, first described in 1983 and implemented in 1984,1 automated the publication process and provided instantaneous and dynamic hostname resolution in the rapidly growing network. In modern operating systems, the hosts file remains an alternative name resolution mechanism, configurable often as part of facilities such as the Name Service Switch as either the primary method or as a fallback method.

Haunted File

A haunted file is a file in a law firm where something bad happens every time it is touched almost as if the spirits are angry.

Steve: "Hey Jenn, are you okay you look upset?"
Jenn: "I was all ready to go away for the weekend but then I got an email from the other side in the Jones file that they have filed an emergency motion so now I'm gonna be in the office all weekend."
Steve: "Did you touch that file before you got that email?"
Jenn: "Yeah, I did a quick check of the critical dates to ensure they were in my calendar"

Steve: "Yep, you touched the haunted file and now the spirits are angry with you"

Typically used in Law Firms this concept can also be extended into any professional field with minor modification.

Mike the electrician: "Damn I installed a GFCI and then had to spend 4 hours fault detecting"
Joe the electrician: "Let me guess MANUFACTUROR X?"
Mike: "Yeah how did you know?"
Joe: "They make haunted parts, if you put them in a house the spirits get angry"

Why oh why did I touch the Haunted File, I didn't even need to.

File Crab

He is the giver of files. The ultimate member of og file hub. He is always nice to everyone and always will pertain to be.

Eventually there will be a younger crab to take over the file crab place as the true #1 file giver.

File crab just gave me snippets to a new song titled "Anacondas" and "Double Date"

postcode file

A file format created by Microsoft in Windows 11 when set to UK English. Normally, when you right-click to compress a file, the context menu says "compress to postcode file" instead of the expected "compress to zip file."

Blimey! Windows 11's translation hiccup has left me in stitches. Trying to zip my files results in a 'postcode file' suggestion. I guess my digital documents are off to afternoon tea with His Majesty's postmen!
