Hmmmm maybe someone should come up with a SYSTEM to organize NAMES for ips, maybe using hierarchical DOMAINs.... Oh wait.


We could abbreviate that to SND!


Your bad attempt at humor makes it quite clear that you've never dealt with network engineering or administrating to any extent.

Admitting that ipv6 has some downsides, however minor they may seem to you, won't hurt your quest to render ipv4 obsolete.

In fact being less insufferable is how you win people to your causes, not by laughing at their genuine albeit minor issues.


They were making a legitimate point a humorous way. The problem of manually typing in IP addresses has been solved by DNS for over 50 years.


I haven't had to type an IP address to access something on my home network for at least a decade, except for (occasionally) my xxx.1 router.
