If you don't care about collision resistance, why didn't you pick fd00:: ? That's way easier to remember than that jumble of letters you selected. It's actually my go-to subnet when someone claims that local-only IPv6 addresses are "hard to remember". fd00::1 is notably shorter than 10.0.0.1.
- mr_mitm 7mo agoYou can write it as 10.1 though
- simoncion 7mo agoYou could, sure. You shouldn't, because not only is it nonstandard, roughly noone writes it that way. Without consulting documentation or otherwise querying external memory, tell me what is 10.1.1?
- jcalvinowens 7mo agoHeh, fair enough. I picked it because it makes me laugh when I have to type it (say it in Elmer Fudd's voice). I don't actually type it very often.
- boredatoms 7mo agofddd:: is easier to type than fd00::
