  If only there was some kind of system to give IP addresses easy to remember names.

    And give in to big DNS? What’s next? Multiple services per server? Insanity!

    This was proudly coded in Notepad.

    Or maybe we could like, shorten the big addresses and not need to remember the parts we’re not using yet

    There’s no place like ::1

    Yeah? You plan to setup, host, and maintain a local DNS server?

    Been there, done that. No thanks.

      IPv6 on a small network can just use mDNS just fine. Larger networks, you would have a DNS server anyways.

      If you selfhost, chances are you selfhost something like pihole. I myself use TechnitiumDNS and it also serves .lan hosts as well.

      Works like charm. 10/10 would recommend.

  nah. when stating hex addresses, its customary to leave out any 0 components. means address is often just feab:aeae:1625:: ( latter 2 colons indicate rest is zeroed)
