ok, hit me up with alternatives to DNS.
i very much like the technical beauty of DNS being a distributed database but it's "an elegant system for a more civilized age". times are dire and require appropriate solutions.
@niclas well, facebook does hexspeak for it's v6 ;)
@bonifartius Interesting idea...seriously.
Are they big enough to get a /16 network address? Maybe workable...
But for us mere mortals, the /48 part can't be chosen and for "you" to remember my 2001:470:74d6::/48 is a bit much to ask for...right.
@niclas they do it for the local part only, so it's more of a joke. one can as well just use :: to shorten stuff.

i'm not going to do that xD
> i'm not going to do that
Convenient services and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
Seriously though, you're already doing that for mobile phones. Why not websites? :P I don't think you memorized more than 100 websites' domain names either, so what I meant was, why not just bookmark IP addresses?
@Pixificial ips change more often than telephone numbers ;)
@bonifartius Memorizing IPv6 addresses could be a thing. Introduce it in kindergarten and promote it to a national sport.
