The last paragraph is confusing. Why still disable IPv6 when you are obviously not concerned by memorization of long addresses?

- 1vuio0pswjnm7 3y agoWhile I am not concerned with memorising every IP address I use, I do type and search IP addresses quite frequently; I work with addresses at the command prompt as parameters to command line utilties and in files, such as /etc/hosts and much larger files that contain hundreds of thousands of IP addresses, often using an editor such as ed, sed, vi or custom filters I have written in C. Needless to say, IPv4 addresses are easier to work with. When I check weather I use an IP address not a domain name. This can be quite useful on a smartphone where I generally cannot control DNS. This is an IPv4 address. As one might imagine, I have memorised it. Often this will work on public wifi without having to "sign in". I like IPv4.
