Adding A-F to the 0-9 existing digits in ip addresses makes them non-human readable? Give me a break. We've had something human-readable since the dawn of the internet: it's called DNS and works with both IP families.
- Dalewyn 4y agoTell me Google DNS's IPv6 addresses without looking them up. I won't wait. Sometimes we need to deal with raw IP addresses instead of abstraction layers, and IPv6 fails hilariously because it clearly goes beyond the realm of direct human consumption. You saying a non-human readable thing is human readable if it's passed through an abstraction layer to make something human readable only reinforces the argument IPv6 is not human readable.
