Pretty much this, though with IPv4 as I don't trust myself to remember that either.
I find myself increasingly frustrated with tools which force GUI flows or context switches that require me to do that, though. I prefer a 'edit a bunch of flat files in repos, push, magic config engine makes it happen' flow.
It's quicker for me to copy-paste than it is to type even an IPv4.
- kees99 7y agoThis, exactly. I've spent way more time troubleshooting various obscure network problems that ended up being a typo in IP address/port number, than I'd be proud to admit.
- esotericn 7y agoRight. When I do "remember" an IPv4 it's usually that I've committed a /24 to long-term through repeated exposure, and then I really just have the 8 bits in short term memory.
