Hell, I don't even remember them on my home network. I have a server running a dozen VMs and I'll be damned if I can remember the IPs for all those services. DNS exists for a reason.
Moreover, the only time I might be working with those raw IPs is with services using static IPs. But in that case my IPv6 addresses aren't actually that much more complicated. On the v4 side I might have:
192.168.1.122
And on the IPv6 side (where I have a /48 allocated) I might have:
2600:ABCD:XYZW::11
- cranekam 6y agoYes, it's all easy. I have a /64 assigned to my LAN, an /80 assigned to each of my hosts for allocating IPs to containers, etc. I have DNS and a text file listing which blocks I have allocated out of the /48 my ISP gives me. It's not hard or substantially different to IPv4.
